Fannie Floof reports The Arrival

Safely arriving at The Landing last night at sunset were the Queen Miss Catt, Admiral Hestorb and Sir Spitfire.  The galleon is a handsome sight of teak wood and multicolored silk pennants flying from all masts and lines.  The crew, commanded by the Admiral, quickly and nimbly tied the boat off and stood back saluting while all Personages disembarked. 

First to disembark was Queen Miss Catt.  The Queen's travelling outfit of soft vole fur was tastefully accessorized with shrew tails at cuffs and collars.  A softly glowing pink pearl choker completed the outfit while she reclined on a citrine pillow.

The Admiral and Sir Spitfire were the next to disembark.  The Admiral was modishly attired in a blue and white sailor's outfit with red ribbons marking her high rank.  With an "Ahoy, Maties", she began to confer with General Boopsie Bear and Sir Ambassador Ringo on issues of security while awaiting her introduction to the Princess Treasure. 

Sir Spitfire, despite his captivation with his red cape, was sensibly attired for travel in high boots and a collar which instantly converts to a nefarious dog trap if needed.  Sir Spitfire reported to Quartermaster Scruffy for instructions on his role in the upcoming ceremonies.

It was clear that a strong alliance has been formed between The Spitster and La Hestorb due to the lingering glances and purrs shared as they went their separate ways.

Princess Treasure arrived accompanied by the Prime Minister.  Elegantly attired in the peridot tiara and bracelet, her eyes glowed with the realization that her dearest plans were nigh completion.  She and the Queen greeted each other with nose taps; the Queen was placed on her pillow next to the Princess in the red wagon which served as their conveyance from the landing to the castle.

Shortly thereafter, Heron Express delivered Most Adorable Princess Coco amid much fanfare from the citizenry who had secured passes to witness this historic event.  Slightly abashed at the crowd's reaction to her arrival, she ducked her head while being carried from Heron Express to the wagon on her periwinkle pillow.  Her youthful beauty was fully enhanced by the opalescent moonstone collar and chipmunk stole she was wearing against late night chills, Capitol Drive being far North of the province she rules as princess and the region she governs for Queen Miss Catt.

After more nosetaps, the Prime Minister pulled all royal personages to The Castle while all dignitaries followed in parade.  The citizenry continued to shout approval of the Princess Coco along the route while also juggling songbirds for additional festivities.

Upon arrival at The Castle, the butler shows everyone to their assigned quarters where all appropriate grooming tools and assistance are provided.  After that and a quick nap,  all travelers are greeted in the Princess Treasure's small dining room where a light refreshment of minnows on toast in a mouse sausage gravy was served.  Also attending were Prime Minister Neora Warmlapp, Sir Ambassador Scout Ringo and General Boopsie Bear.

On Their Way

We have just received word from UPS runners that all parties are en route with no disaster or other delays to their arrival.

Princess Coco has been resting quite comfortably in the ameneties of Heron Express due to their extreme smooth sailing.

The Admiral has been skillfully commanding the crew of her galleon in order to provide the most efficient services and best comfort to her guests.  Sir Spitfire has been seen practicing with his cape and sword on deck while Queen Miss Cat has the final fittings for her ball gown.

At Last!

The Admiral is on her way with Sir Spitfire and Queen Miss Catt for the adoption ceremony.  Coco is being transported by Heron Express.

All my minions scurry around with the last minute details; the PM had a hard time breaking away for her fund-raising activities.

I am preening myself with the peridot tiara and bracelet while waiting the final dusting off of the peridot pillow on which I will be conveyed to The Landing to meet all honored guests.

All quarters are ready and the late night snack of minnows on toast will, I hope, be a satisfying repast for everyone.

We are most distressed

to hear of the Admiral's malaise.  We wish her and her Mommy the best, sending many bonks and purrs, and hope the Admiral is healed very soon. 

Not only for her sake, but for the sake of little Coco's adoption ceremony, which may have to be postponed.  After all, the ceremonies would not be the same without the Admiral, just ask Sir Spitfire!

Please note!

Any of the posts labeled 'Archive' are from the past when my blog entries were on the PM's WLS "Live in the Layers' blog.  I am transporting them here so I have them all here in one convenient location.  Princess Treasure.

Archive 7: Field Reports

To:  HRH Princess Treasure
       HRH Queen Miss Catt
       PMs Neora and Carole
 
The Boopsie Patrol:
 
Our CIF (Catty Intelligence Forces) inform us that General Boopsie Bear and Agent Blackjack will arrive at the gates to Queen Miss Catt’s castle at 10:02 pm in the dark of the moon.  While General Bear was kept busy keeping guerrilla cats, horses and hawks in line, Agent Blackjack scouted along the route. 
 
Agent Blackjack was able to determine that the ALF network is limited to one hectare surrounding the castle.  He recommends that the nearest male cat mark the perimeter of the castle as rankly as possible to dissuade an increase in forces by ALF.  If a sympathetic skunk can be drafted, it is recommended that he mark the area as well; such marking will deter any humans from forming an alliance with ALF. This is only recommended due to the strong resistance of the line defense, PM Carole having installed new, odor-protecting windows to the castle.  Queen Miss Catt’s recovery should not be hindered in the least.
 
Diplomat Scout Ringo:
 
Scout Ringo was able to embark at 0631 pm this morning; HRH received him privately in her chambers for a final consultation prior to departure.  His report tonight indicates that he has been able to cross the county line in the last hour.
