Stinky sat by the Teleportation Tunnel eagerly awaiting Periwinkle's arrival. They usually took turns visiting each other but today they had special plans.
WOOOSH.....he heard the sound from the tunnel and stepped back quickly and just in time to catch Periwinkle as she flew out of the tunnel! They spent some time hugging each other and sharing whisker kisses. They loved Tuesdays because it was their "special" day!
"Are we all set for our adventure today?" asked Periwinkle. Stinky said they were and he confirmed that everything was in place. Stinky said, "It's even more special today because it's National Black Cat Day!"
The two were headed back to the House of Black Cats where they visited last year. As always, they were aware of how dangerous Halloween could be for Black Cats and their friend Walter made sure the black cats were safe.
As they approached the house, they could see some of the residents staring out the windows.
They rang the bell and Walter greeted them with warm hugs and welcoming paw pats. Walter told them that there were even more cats at the house this year. Periwinkle squeed with delight when she noticed a Mom cat and kittens!
Both tabbies took a walk out back and introduced themselves to some of the other residents.
All of the cats told them how fortunate they were to have found Walter and what a great cat he was. Checking back with Walter, Periwinkle said "Did you get our delivery?" Walter replied that he did and was amazed by their generosity. "We decided to have our donations delivered this year because the Cat Scout volunteers couldn't help us bring things over," said Stinky. Walter took them to the storage room where they saw one of the black cats guarding the box of Temptations they sent.
They both giggled and said that if any of the cats were like Periwinkle's brofur Raz they would need that guard!
Both tabbies jumped up and down with glee when they saw the big pallets of Fancy Feast that was delivered. Like last year, it was ordered with donations from
Cat Scouts and the help of both of their Moms.
After some time visiting with Walter and all of the black cats, Periwinkle and Stinky said their goodbyes and told them to all stay safe. Walter and the cats thanked them again and they headed back to Stinky's house.
"All that talk about Temptations and Fancy Feast made me hungry" said Stinky. Always the planner, Periwinkle said she brought them a snack and thought it would be nice to enjoy it outside with the beautifully colored leaves. After their snack they spent some time hugging, sharing whisker kisses and holding paws.
Before it was time for Periwinkle to leave, they decided to try on their Halloween costumes.
"Stinky, you look so cute," said Periwinkle. Blushing he said he thought she did too! Both tabbies were sad to know it was time for Periwinkle to leave. She hopped back into the Teleportation Tunnel and blew a kiss to Stinky. With a WOOSH, she was headed home. Both tabbies had smiles on their faces knowing that they not only had a great time together but did something to help the Black Cats.
