A bootiful afternoon in Burgundy...

Our well-rested kitties begin to stir as they feel the gentle lapping
of water against the boat, and yawn to the sun streaming in their
cabins. Over the loudspeaker the captain announces: "Bonjour mes amis,
we are again sailing headed for zee luffly village of Gissey in zee
Côte d’Or where some of France's best Premier and Grand Cru wines are
made. We weel be mooring in Gissey early in zee afternoon zo zat we
can haff zee menu de degustation as well as zee degustation ov many
wines at zee chateau La Pousee d'or - pleeze plan for zee long lunch.
We, ov cawz are now serfink zee traditional French breakfast ov
croissants an cafe au lait, or zee American breakfast az eech kitty
wishes. Breakfast eez serfed eizer on zee opsurfation dekk or in zee
dinink room. Bon appetite!"

Anaïs smooches Tiger and they walk up to the observation deck
side-by-side and sit on a cushion, watching the forests and canal
villages of the Ouche valley slowly breeze by. A waiter sets their
coffee and croissants in front of them as they wave "good morning" to
the other kitties. Inspector Clouseau, and then the Countess walk up:
"Ahh may we share a cushion wif you two?" and sit with Tiger and
Anaïs. "Ummm, but I am looking forward to zee lunch." the Inspector
says to the Countess.

Kitten-Mahoney to play with him. "Can I go play with the other
kittens? Please? Pretty please? Pretty please with catnip on top?"

Ok, but DON'T BOTHER THE CAPTAIN! And don't annoy the other kitties.

[As Ranger and Stormee run across the deck and around the deckhouse, they
notice a complete absence of other kitties on deck. After they complete a
full circuit around the barge, they finally see the other two kittens
slowly and cautiously peeking out from under a hatch cover. Seeing no
adult cats watching them, the two kittens climb out from under the hatch
cover, leap onto the roof of the deck house, and fly over Ranger and
Stormee, laughing merrily. Ranger and Stormee give chase.

To a casual observer, it almost appears as if there are a dozen kittens
scampering over the deck, but it's just Jacques, Mimi, Stormee, and
Ranger. They find numerous rails, covers, roofs, and boxes to jump onto
and off of, and spend more time with flying than with paws in contact
with the deck.]

now all we hasta do iz fin rosco, Stormmee, stopping to rest anna luk fur a
