Antarctic Expedition
Ok, sos it souns like we need to take a trip to da Antarctic to check
up on the kitty colony there, and to evaluate it as a possible Jellicle Ball site. We can't directly 'port there, as we don't have da corrdinates. But I haf access to all of Harri Roadcat's aircraft, and haf learned to fly most of dem. So how many wants to go along? |

I'z been trhough all of Harri Roadcat's notes, and da bigger catacopters all is arctic/antarctic equipped. Efurryfing is made from metal formulated to stand up da cold, and special lubricants fur da cold, and furry efficient heaters for da cockpit an cabin. An a special navigation system dat works well even near da Poles. FtF |

Cash looks at Daisy-chan and grins then tells Iowna, something we don't seem to have our local kittah generate in the form of furballs. I think I saw one once... Mostly we all just make loose fur. Maybe it can be balled up? If so, we'z got enough to knit a 50lb ball probably... -- |

Hareballz iz furz dat kitteez hurkz up. Yoo purrobly alreddy knowz dat kitteez groomz dere furz by likkin. In da process, we swallowz sum furz. If we swallowz too much, den sumtimez we haz to hurk dem bak up, an dey kumz up wif da varyuss flooidz frum owrown stummickz. Dere muss be sumfing in dat combinashun dat can power dat fyool cell.
We apurrsheate dat d*ggiez mite wat to hewp, but I fingk we kitteez haz dis mor dan cuvvered! Rebecca |
