Cash, a little Shi Zhu, and a Mancat belch as they finish brunch.
The ladies look at them funny then Daisy-chan and Iowna belch and
everyone cracks up.

Over a hill, 2 local kina mancat kittahs show and join the group.
They are wearing leis and sandals, more is not needed here.

Cash grins as the mancat from Hawaii has hot pink sandals and he
loves hot pink!

Settling in, they have a few more munchies. Daisy-chan loads a
plate for Harri with a ducky wing, and 2 huge lumpia and heads off
to deliver it. She leaves it quietly by Harri who seems to be
taking a nap, and heads back.

By the time she returns, the new local mancat is flexing his muscles
and warming up for a wood load. Cash offers to help but is diverted
by Iowna who points out the one spot to the river that needs to be
dug down sos smaller older kittahs and doggies can get to the
river. He shrugs and high-5's the local fellow and starts digging
while the other local mancat helps. Mosey jumps along to help with
the wood load.

As Daisy-chan returns, 3 more local kittahs arrive to help set up.
They set to weaving floor mats from local plants. They work swiftly
and in 2 hours they have a large one for under the big tent.

It is now time for the noon nap as the wood arrives. Settling in,
they all nap on the new mats, Cash dreaming a little of his sandals
arriving in time. He's not a total clothes hound, but well, he
hopes they get there in time.

Lucy Lu gets a moment of startle as Iowna tucks her feet under her
tail but then she laughs and lets Iowna warm there. Shortly all you
hear is a combination of purrs and doggie snores.


Iowna snuffles. Now we all know only man things snore and ladies
snuffle so it had to be a snuffle. Iowna's snuffle wakes Cash and
Lucy Lu. They blink a few times and grin at one another.

They stretch a bit then grab the cart. With Cash pulling, they can
get 6 logs. That brings them to what they need now and tomorrow they
can get more for the Luau fires. The local mancats are also wakend
by the 'snuffle' and snickering, go to cut some leaves for the pit.

Iowna slumbers on peacefully, aware she snuffles like a lady. Unaware
her friends were being polite about it.


Cash and Lucy Lu return with a double batch of logs and Mosey helps
line them in the pit over large stones from the cave.

Mosey gets the fire going as Cash and the local kine go with a big cart
to get the pig. It's a BIG pig so it takes a bit to wash it and clean
it. Once done, they wrap it in banana leaves then cover it with wet
mud and lower it into the pit that is now mostly hot coals.

Working quickly, they clean and wash 2 ducks and wrap in straw and mud
and add them in at the head. With a final layer of damp straw and
banana leaves, they cover it over and add the dirt back on.

Iowna wakes and stretches stiffly then Daisy-chan takes her back home
for her medicines and some quick meowmie hugs. They come back with
backpacks filled with dinner and 3 days of Iowna's tramadol neatly
split to 4 servings a day and associated pill pockets.

Cash roots around and pulls out some herring and chopped ham and whisks
it off to Harri who is again napping (though her plates of lunch are
empty) and drops it quietly off then heads back (aftr a side trip for
some daddy hugs).

As they get back, dusk decends. Daisy-chan has set out some battery
operated lights that turn on at dusk and recharge in the sunlight. The
line the way to the river where a sand pile is on the right (kittahs)
and a grassy spot is to the left (doggies and others). The pit is now
outlined with rocks and at the corners, are tiki lamps. Sitting along
the ersatz kitchen are glass multicolored citronella candles in a
second layer of safe pyrex containers.

Thre are unlit tiki lamps waiting to be buried and in the distant end
of the lights, you can see futons and tents waiting to be assembled.

2 of the local Kine kittahs pull out drums and one a banjo and begin
music while the other 2 stand to dance. Slow and soft, they do true
Hawaii dances, not the frenetic belly dance sort. Now and again they
grab someone watching to dance with them. Mosey turns out to be very
accomplished!

Eventually they douse the lights and turn in on futons laying under the
big tent cover. A light rain drifts down but it's not enough to bother
anything.

The cave is being made ready by the others and Rebecca.
