Well, there’s ALWAYS something going on at Cat Scouts. ALWAYS……….recently we started a “FLAT CATS” travel group – we all had pictures of ourselves enlarged and mounted on cardboard or poster board and we’re currently mailing ourselves all over the place to visit each other! I know FLAT CATS have been around a while at a lot of the conferences but we thought we’d give it a whirl and it’s turning into a real TRAVEL FRENZY!
So far I’ve visited Spencerville and Indianapolis, Indiana, and I’m about to fly down to Florida then back up to North Carolina. WOW. Who knew a FLAT CAT could have so much fun??? Yesterday Mr. Mailman delivered TWO big envelopes here – one had my buddy from Scouts Sammy Pilch in it (or “SammyP” as he’s known at Scouts) and the other had my besties Raz, Allie, Anya and Gracie in it. Today I showed them my red wagon and took them for a ride around my yard in it! My other Scout buddy, Raz’s girlfriend Madi, is still here but she’d been outside before with me here and decided to stay inside and have a snack instead of another yard tour!
Here are some photos from my trip to Indiana!
And here’s Madi when she arrived – having a snooze her first night here in the guest room AND the next day when we had a picnic on my front porch!
If you’re a cat and want to have a TON of fun – consider Cat Scouts!! If you join up, you might like to join MY Troop, the Worldwide Wildcats. That’s right – I’m the TROOP LEADER!!!!
Know what tomorrow is? HMMMMM???
That’s right – it’s MONSTER DAY!
that’s such a cute idea… it’s like having your own blogger-meeting. I love this idea, it’s great that our flat-me’s know no borders or distances :o)

Sammy, you forgot to mention that Anya is there with you. Mau is about ready to fire Mom as she still hasn’t made him a flat cat. He says that he is not being a very good Scout, but so far has not shamed her into getting it done. Keep your paws crossed that seeing all the traveling Scouts with you will get her off her b**t!

Some Scouts are doing that – taking the Scouts to different places outside the home but I have to admit (!!) it’s easier to just do things around the house or yard!!! HAHAHAHAHA One thing for sure though – it’s a TON of fun and we can’t believe how many FLAT SCOUTS are traveling! The Denmaster is making a contest out of it – whoever travels the most miles between when we started (about 3 weeks ago) and Thanksgiving will win a prize (which we haven’t been told what it is)……………….that should be fun.

Oh I’m sorry Andy – remember though that you can just use a photo of yourself because Scout Madi is visiting us now and she’s just a photo!!!!
