Starring, your host, with the most (Though that's not true in the hair dept. at the moment!) Mr. Nikita Cat!
C0-starring that Lass With the Sass, Elvira Mistress of Felinity!
And also starring Daddy Kiril, official research assistant, photographer and liaison, provider, playmante, belly rubber, and litter box cleaner, extraordinaire!
In an adventure for the ages!
Coming soon (Starting 9/20, actually, as computer access permits!) to Meowsings of an Opinionated Pussycat and Musings of a Mad Macedonian....
For us Cat Bloggers the Carnival is a chance to discover blogs we might never have heard of, on subjects of all kinds!
Submissions can be sent to: carnivalofthecats(at)gmail.com
The Carnival Home Page, with an archive of past Carnivals, the Line-up for 2012, FAQ'S, and more, is HERE.
Let's get this show on the road!
It is only appropriate that we get things started in the great state of Texas, itself! :-D
1 - 3. Our dear friends and The Cat Blogosphere's own beloved KC and Mom ML, and the rest of the gang, are also on the move...to Maryland.
We are sad that they are leaving this weekend, as they live in Houston, just a few short miles from our new home, and we had alll hoped to meet! (If ML returns for a visit, then that monumental meeting WILL occur!).
We know that this change in their lives, like that in our own, is the right thing, at this time in their lives, and wish them well.
As ML reports:
The lovely cats and I are moving east to Rockville, Maryland, with Deb & The Taylor CatSSSSS live.
So far, so good! My kitties are behaving nicely at their "spa", although Missy Blue Eyes is still determined to chew her way out.
Saturday Arrival: Each and every one of us is fine... Baby Cat really loves to fly!!!
4 - 5. Our Texas friends, the gang from Life From a Cat's Perspective, have a detailed and informative, post about Texas, to welcome us to our new home!
Texas Post for Daddy Kiril, Nikita and Elvira.
After all that the gang is taking it easy and recovering from all the hard work!
6. Team Tabby is relaxing in the sun. :-D
7 - 8. Over at Mind of Mog...Here’s Ritzi enjoying her blankie, all excited that we are finally moving to Texas.
Mog & Ritzi are also hosting Weekend Cat Blogging #379 with 8 entries, and Mog has an amusing reaction to my Summer/Texas, here I come! look. :-D
9. Over at CatSynth...Get a load of Luna rolling around trying to be extra cute. :-D
10. Over at Strange Ranger...Maddie, um, horked up the *most massive* hairball! Longer than a sausage link and at least twice as thick. Smelled really bad, too.
Her Human reports that she was "a bit wrung-out and tired, but who could blame her?"
But she seems, OK, the next day, judging by the photo. :-D
11. Over at Three Country Cats...They are having a very stinky giveaway that ends at 12:01 am est Monday. :-D
12. From The Florida Furkids...Family is so impawtent….we love our families and need purrs and prayers for Auntie El
13 - 16. As for us, while all our belongings get packed up, and prepare to hit the road...
The Final Countdown Begins & it's Silly Season at Our Place. :-D
Elvira meets a leash and harness. I did too, the day before, but Daddy forgot his camera. I took to it really well, but Elvira had a few doubts. :-D
Meowsings Moves to Texas 5: Elvira, On Leash and Uncertain
When we went to our vet for check-ups and our health certificates, things got interesting.

We are sad to say good-bye to our vet.

That's it for this edition.
While we may or may not have computer access for the next 2 weeks, we will do our best to have content, pre-planned, and same day, about our journey.
Notes and photos will be gathered, to be shared as soon as we are able, so stay tuned.
Good-bye, for now, dear friends and fellow Critter Bloggers!

We all love the way you do the Carnival. So colorful and VERY entertaining and informative.
Can't wait to hear about your big move. I'm praying it'll all go very smoothly for you three. It's all rainy and gray today, but not hot! And by Thursday, everything should be absolutely GORGEOUS around here!!
((((hugs from all of us))))
