IN THE MEWS

Sunday, September 7, everyone had a purrfectly great time at the surprise party as Jack and Baxter celebrated their birthday. Earlier in the day, they spent some time celebrating at the beach. When they arrived home, all their friends were there to wish them a happy birthday, and were ready to PARTY! Even the oldest of felines felt like kittens again as they participated in chase games around the catwalk, and climbed in and out of the many tunnels located in the big cat room. Every attending feline enjoyed cake and a catnap before departing with a gift bag filled with bouncy balls, some special treats, and some catnip filled mice. Thanks for making their special day so memorable. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE HALLOWEEN PARTY

FALL CAMPOUT A BLAST!
If you did not attend the Fall Campout you missed a rip roaring adventure! After Max and Jack tied for first place in the mouse eating contest last year, this year the battle was on! Once again, it was experience versus youth. And in the end, it was a tie once again! Twenty-two mice each. They were both sick the rest of the night, but their feelings were mutual, "It was worth it! But I don't think we will want to even look at a mouse for at least a month!" Once again, first place in the six legged race went to Snowball and Peppy. They seem to have become an unstoppable duo. Patches was ecstatic to win the fur ball hurling contest again this year with a record breaking 4 foot 11 inch hurl. Being the only female to ever win this competition, she worked relentlessly for the past year to uphold her title. Way to hurl, Patches! Benny brought a recording of barking dogs and had the whole camp in an uproar around 2 o'clock Saturday morning. When finding out it was just a recording, many found it funny. But to the cats whose kittens had finally fallen asleep after hearing horrifying dog stories around the campfire, it wasn't very amusing! By the end of the campout all was forgiven and everyone left looking forward to next year's trip.

We are seeking volunteers for the "Pin the Tail on the Dog" contest for our upcoming Halloween Party. We promise to make sure there will be an ample supply of tape this year so we won't have to resort to using push pins again. As always, every dog who volunteers will receive a T-shirt that reads "I Survived the Cats' Halloween Party!"

JACK AND BAXTER CELEBRATE THEIR BIRTHDAY!
