The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

Periwinkle was crossing her paws that today's Adventure would turn out as planned.  She didn't know if it would but knew that any time she and Stinky were together was purrfect!  The Teleportation Tunnel started to shake and, with the usual WOOSH, out popped Stinky.  They spent time whisker kissing, paw patting and catching up on the previous week.  Stinky said "wow, it really is a lot colder than the last time I was here."  Periwinkle agreed and said she hoped that would mean their Adventure would go as planned.  Stinky caught on right away and said, "We're going to see manatees, aren't we?"  Periwinkle said she had her paws crossed but, so far, there didn't seem to be any.  They decided to go look anyway and jumped into Periwinkle's Mom's car for the short ride.

As soon as they arrived at the viewing spot, they knew there were no manatees.  They were greeted by this lone bird (sorry Tabbies) who told them the manatees had not arrived.

They were disappointed but decided to spend some time in the area.  Of course, Stinky had to take a picture with this sign...

Fortunately, there were no Alligators hanging around.  Neither tabby wanted to be some gator's lunch!

They did notice that the water level was low and wondered if that was why there were no manatees.

They stopped to visit with this kitty that they remembered from the previous visits.

Periwinkle suggested that, since they couldn't see any live manatees, they return to her house and watch some online.  Stinky agreed and they headed back to her house.  Periwinkle's Mom helped them set up the laptop and they spent some time watching videos.

They watched a video about the Florida Manatee...

And they watched a live cam of manatees...

 

Periwinkle printed out some manatee coloring pages and they spent some time coloring together.

When they finished they were both hungry so they had a quick snack...

Stinky visited with Periwinkle's fursibs and her Mom and they spent some time snuggling, whisker kissing and paw patting before it was time for him to return home.  Periwinkle promised she would keep watching for the manatees and would let him know if/when they returned. 

Stinky entered the Teleportation Tunnel and, with a WOOSH and one last whisker kiss, Stinky was on his way home.  Periwinkle found a sun puddle and napped while dreaming about her handsome fiance.

The Adventures of Periwinkle and Stinky

 

As she always did on Tuesdays, Periwinkle woke up with butterflies in her tummy.  Well, not REAL ones but the kind you get when you are super excited about what the day will be like.  As she groomed her furs, she saw the Teleportation Tunnel start to wobble and, with a WOOOSH, out popped her boyfriend, Stinky.  They spent time paw patting and whisker kissing and enjoying a sun puddle.  Stinky mentioned how nice the weather was and Periwinkle said that the weather probably would mess up her plans for the day.  Stinky looked at her with a confused look but then she explained "I planned on visiting the manatees today since we had some really cold weather but I think they have already left."  Undaunted by this, they headed out to see if any manatees were around.  Periwinkle's Mom drove them.  She made sure they were safely buckled up and off they went.

As Periwinkle feared, the manatees were all gone.  They looked all over...

Even though they were disappointed there were no manatees, the tabbies enjoyed spending time together holding paws and talking.

Of course, Stinky couldn't resist climbing on a rock...

 And they both agreed they would NOT feed or harass the crocodiles!!

Periwinkle took out her phone and called her Mom and they headed back to her house.

Periwinkle asked Stinky if he would like to meet the newest Florida Furkid.  He had no idea she had a new fursib and went with her when she took his paw and led him outside to the pool.  He thought it was strange that she was giggling the whole time.

"Meet my new fursib!  We haven't named him yet, maybe our followers will come up with a name for us"

Stinky laughed and tried NOT to roll his eyes.  Periwinkle explained that her Mom bought this cool robotic pool cleaner and they all loved watching him run in the pool.  Of course, neither tabby wanted to get their furs wet so they headed into the house.

Periwinkle said there was another part to their Adventure which was telling their followers about National Cat Lover's Month.  They agreed there really didn't need to be a special month for that but they wanted to share more information about it.

"This special month has been celebrated since the mid-1990s to recognize both cats and cat lovers all over the world" said Periwinkle.  Stinky added that this would be a nice time to give your cat extra treats which made Periwinkle start giggling again.  Reading books about cats (or gifting a cat loving friend with one or more) would be another nice way to celebrate.  Periwinkle shared a link to a place for FREE Cat lovers books.  https://www.getfreeebooks.com/december-is-national-cat-lovers-month-free-cat-ebooks/

She also showed Stinky a timeline of the history of cats

Periwinkle turned around and couldn't find Stinky.  Needless to say, the urge to climb got to him and she found him on the entertainment center in the middle of the Christmas village.

The two decided to take a quick catnap and spent time whisker kissing and paw patting.  Periwinkle apologized for an Adventure that didn't turn out as planned and promised she would let him know when the manatees came back.  

Stinky visited with Periwinkle's fursibs, thanked her Mom for the ride and headed to the Teleportation Tunnel.  Blowing her one last kiss, he teleported back home.

Periwinkle and Stinky would like to remind you to send them your suggestions for the new "fursib" pool cleaner.  They'll tell you what they choose on their next adventure.
