The Shindig and The Silver Lining

The Chairman's letterhead complete with his photo and pawprint.

Before The Shindig I Had A Meltdown

Eve is working on Part 2 of the Stray Cat Alliance party and shindig this past weekend. I respectfully present to you Part 1.

As we all know, Kreatrix occasionally takes me out into the world and when she does, here is how I "travel":

The Chairman poses with a pink shopping bag. He is obviously not happy.

Ah, yes. The dreaded pink bag.

Well, well.

Take a look at Eve 2.0's ride to the Stray Cat Alliance fundraiser:

A very lovely, sparkly large purse. Very colorful and lovely.

Yup.

Let me put it more bluntly.

Here's mine:

A pathetic pink nylon bag tossed on the countertop. Empty and drab.

And here's Eve's:

A very lovely, sparkly large purse. Very colorful and lovely.

When I saw that on Saturday night before they left for the party I MAY have had a minor meltdown.

Ya know, sort of:

Why, Kreatrix, why!???

The Chairman cat doll bent over the counter, crying with the sorry pink bag crumpled next to him.
Why hast thou forsaken me, Kreatrix?

Hey, I look pretty good in agony.

ANYWHO. The most amazing thing happened while I was having my "moment."

The Chairman has his paws around real life cat, Wally, who has jumped up on the counter to comfort the Chairman.

He likes me, he really likes me!

I...I...this is a silver lining moment, people! Wally is my new best buddy. He heard my mournful, soulful cries and came to comfort me.

Life is good...for the moment.

Stay tuned! The girls will fill you in on Eve's party night and how our buddy, Sherlock, performed at the Silent Auction!

    Wow! Eve's bag is one gorgeous ride! I agree with you, Chairman. That poor crumbled pink bag is pretty pathetic next to Eve's beauteous one. I guess you have to remember she was going to a very important formal evening affair and needed something appropriate for the occasion. Glad Wally was there to comfort you. Can't wait to hear all about the shindig and how Sherlock did at the silent auction!

    Hysterical! Poor Chairman!!! I just shared a chuckle with a few friends here at work. I believe our catch-phrase for the day is going to be "why hast thou forsaken me Kreatrix"?

    Chairman, glad to see you're bonding with Wally, always helps to have a new friend to confide in. I agree with BJ, Eve was going out to a swanky party she needed fashionable transport to get her there and back.
    If we bug Kreatrix enough she may be able to come up with something other than that pink bag for you. She is very creative after all.

    Here's the funny thing: I have that purse. The one Eve used. I laugh because my husband doesn't think it looks like me. So Chairman, that purse doesn't look like you. Of course, neither does the pink bag! I see on the gallery page Sherlock got adopted!
