The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

It was a good morning to snooze in a comfy spot, and that's exactly what Periwinkle was doing.  Yes, it is Tuesday, but she and Stinky had their Adventure on Saturday because there were a couple of great events they didn't want to miss.  Let's go back in time to see what their Adventure was...

Periwinkle paced in front of the Teleportation Tunnel, waiting for Stinky's arrival.  He was always on time, but it was extra impawtent today because they had a full schedule.  It wasn't long before the Tunnel began to shake and, with a WOOSH, he tumbled out into her waiting paws.  They spent a few minutes whisker kissing and paw-patting.  Before he could even ask what they were doing, Perwinkle took him by the paw and out to her Mom's car, where Reesie was waiting in her PTU.

Stinky asked where they were going, and Periwinkle replied, "We have two special events today.  Right now, we are going to the Blessing of the Pets." Stinky remembered doing that before, and he knew it was a fun Adventure.  Since it was a rainy day, the Blessing was being done in a covered area.  There were lots of woofies who were waiting, but they found a good spot where there wasn't a lot of noise.  They were stopped by a woofie who recognized them!

They settled in with Reesie, who brought photos of Noelle and Sawyer since Noelle was not happy in crowds and in the PTU, and Sawyer stayed at home.

The woofies were well behaved as they waited...

Soon Father Red started the blessing (if you listen closely, you can hear Reesie's meow.  We were the only cats there.)

Everyone had a copy of the prayers...here's the Prayer of Blessing...

After the general blessing, each pet got to go up and get an individual blessing as well as a medal

Reesie and Mom (please ignore Mom's wild hair!)

When the blessing was over, Periwinkle took Stinky by the paw and led him back to the car.  They stopped at Periwinkle's house to drop off Reesie and then headed to the next part of their Adventure.

They pulled up to the Library and Stinky asked if they were going to read books about cats.  Periwinkle giggled and said they weren't but they were going to see some cats!

"Oh cool, I've always wanted to go to a Cat Cafe" said Stinky.  There was a large crowd waiting to get in to see the kitties. Being under 18, Periwinkle's Mom had to go with them.   There were activities available while you waited...

Both tabbies were excited to see the kitties.  They were relieved that they were allowed in, since they were cats, but they were told it was okay since they were cartoon cats.

Soon it was their turn to go in.  Of course, the kittens caught their eye first.  Stinky jumped right in with two who were playing.  Periwinkle rolled her eyes but, since it was allowed, she didn't say anything.

Periwinkle's Mom couldn't resist holding one of the kittens. (once again, please ignore her wild hair and wacky glasses!)

She fell in love with the little ginger guy...

Some older cats were also waiting to find their Forever homes.  This one was named Saucy and was 10 years old and a pretty big guy.  He was purring and seemed very sweet.

This big ginger guy was waiting for his new family.  He didn't have an info sheet because he was being adopted!

This little girl, Pixel, was waiting to find a home. 

Always helpful, Periwinkle and Stinky spent some time helping out at the Adoption table...

Because so many people were waiting, they were only allowed to be in the cafe for 15 minutes unless they were adopting a kitty.  They hated to leave but wanted to give others time to find their special friend.

They went back to Periwinkle's house, where Noelle and Reesie were wondering if their Mom was going to come home with a new fursib for them.  The tabbies told them that their Mom did not adopt anyone, although she was tempted to.  Relieved, Noelle and Reesie went off to snooze in their favorite spots.

Periwinkle and Stinky spent some time whisker kissing and paw patting, and took a quick nap before it was time for Stinky to leave.  Stinky thanked Periwinkle's Mom for bringing them to the two events and, with a WOOSH and one last whisker kiss, headed home.

Periwinkle found her own napping spot and curled up thinking about the wonderful day she had with Stinky.
