Jellicle Ball 2012
Amelia: I DO hope the Bast's High Priestess does come, she was such a
delightful cat last year. Did I met Big Mama last year?!? Is she really a full size Black Panther, or another Bombay like me -- sometimes called a mini "Black Panther" as we tend to look exactly like panthers... only much, much, smaller?? Though that gives me an idea... IF "Big Mama" is NOT a full sized Black Panther, I could shape shift into one and patrol the halls to ensure that NO foolish human DARE even THINK about crashing our party -- now THAT would be FUN!!! Now *THAT* would be the ULTIMATE "costume" for Halloween!!!! Trick or Treat!!!! Hehehehe. Back in June of 2006 the Community had a party on the beach at Catalina Island, and while we there we met Big Mama who is a big black mountain lion. You can find the first reference to her at http://goo.gl/Tyi2m and looking for a post by Jocko (signed as RPCC Adventure cats) on June 6. I think she'd love to have the company of another big cat. I'd like to propose an idea and see if any cat would like to second it: Normally the Jellicle Ball is held for only one night, that being the night of the 1st full moon in October, after which come the sunrise we retreat to spend 3 days of meditation reflecting on on our Jellicle lives and those that have gone before us. This year since the Fill Moon occurs on the 29th of October, and Halloween is the 31st of October, I propose we EXTEND the Jellicle Ball all the way through Halloween, and come the Sunrise of All Souls Day, we retreat back to our homes to begin our 3 days of meditations and reflections. Indeed given that Halloween is so close to the Jellicle Ball, ALL cats -- but BLACK CATS in particular -- will be in DANGER from deranged HUMANS, this way we KNOW where all the Community cats are, and so should be SAFE -- Safety in numbers you know -- unless they O.D. on 'nip. Well, that works for me, but we also have to remember the flexibility of Community time relative to earth time. While the Ball will start at moonrise on the 29th of October, it will seem to our humans as if the Ball is lasting for several days. Many of our humans tend to forget that we cats are masters of our environments, even to the extent of controlling the rate at which we experience time. So we will most likely still be celebrating the first night of the Jellicle Ball at the same time that our humans are celebrating Halloween (or Samhain, or All Saints Day, or whichever human holiday they observe). That way we could easily celebrate the autumnal observation with our humans, and keep our melanistic Community members safe, quite easily. I'd also like to propose that some cat contact Bast's High Priestess and request that should she come that she bring with *several* of her guards to provide security. While this year we don't have to ensure that Bast's Temple remain undiscovered, this year we need to ensure that deranged humans don't accidentally find us and make off with one of us for use as an "animal sacrifice" on Halloween... hard to believe that this is the 21st Century and there are kooky humans who still practice animal sacrifice. Sad... Do we have any volunteers for this job?!? Already done! I'm sorry I forgot to mention if before, but I was contacted a few weeks ago by Anuit, the High Priestess of Bast. She wanted to ask whether she and her community of Second World cats were welcome to attend the Ball, and I told that they most certainly were. Anuit will be here to join us, and she will be bringing along her Norwegian Forest Cat guards (who are also her assistants, since she is very elderly). ANY human that is allowed to attend this years Ball in particular *MUST* be vouched for by 3 cats, or unless they are already HC's . Any D*G that is allowed to attend must likewise be vouched for as SAFE by 3 cats and must have proof of rabies vaccination. My brofur Samuel Redcat has been working on that. All of the humans who have so far expressed an interest in attending have been investigated and have excellent references, and I'm Sammy would be delighted to deliver a report if asked. Likewise the dogs who have expressed an interest. In fact, I believe has even extended invitations to several dogs, including Bear and Samantha and Aunti Mabel. I don't know if he has received replies yet. This may turn into one of those Jellicle Balls that may live on in infamy in the annals of rpcc lore!!! Cats, and Humans and D*Gs... and MAYBE a full sized Black Panther on the prowl -- Oh my!!! It could indeed! Amelia |

Cats, and Humans and D*Gs... and MAYBE a full sized Black Panther on the prowl -- Oh my!!! It could indeed! Amelia Amelia its me Misty. Sorry I did not back to you sooner but the Bobcat tore the entire keyboard apart to "clean" it!!! I even tried to help him by moving one of the "key covers". He stormed all over the apartment looking for it. All he had to do was ask me, but NO.... What an ungrateful Human, all I was trying to do is HELP him put the keyboard back together.!!!! Something about "dirt" and "grunge". I am working on the Bobcat to see if he will play the "Mad Scientist" for us -- he even has a Lab Coat -- actually more than one -- and all. He is going to be a difficult case to convince to get on the teleporter, but he WILL come around. I promise he WILL be there!!! Ah this will be a magical Ball for sure. I envy all the cats who have wink-winks. Halloween and Cats -- especially BLACK Cats -- go together. Ever since I read the diary of my great, great, great, great Grand Dam Bonnie and her Galaxy, the Snow White Cat, I find myself dreaming of the two of them. They must have been a sight to behold!!! In reading over her diary he must have been some Cat to tame her heart. TED use to refer to her as "The Cat from Hell". While I have inherited some of her spunk I am quite genteel next to her, probably best as more than one tom had his ears "boxed" by her. I can't see myself boxing any tom's ears... no not my way: now if they give me any trouble I'd simply turn them into a mouse for a few hours until the spell wears off.... joking of course. BTW do we know which castle on Cat Island the Ball will be held in or is that still under consideration?!? If you could use a spare paw with the decorating co-mitt-tee I be glad to help. Can you see the Great Hall all decked out in Orange and Black?!? Can you hear the band playing "The Monster Mash" and "Elvira". Hopefully you have some Gentleman Cat who will escort you to this year's Ball. Got to scat I hear the Bobcat stirring. Bye Misty |

If the Community selects Cat Island as the venue, rather than a castle
they have a great hall carved out of rock with a bunch of caves weaving around it. If the Community chooses the Countess' castle, it would be the one that used to be her summer castle but is now the property of and under the care of the cats that live nearby. It is ancient (even by human standards) and is home to many ghosts, all of them friendly. Or I suppose the Countess would also be willing to offer the use of her current castle, which is sometimes used as a movie set for cat-made movies. I guess we should all start discussing our preferences for this year's venue. Amelia |

Besides I don't think we've done a castle for a backdrop before. Misty |
