We knew something was happening when the boxes started arriving.

At first, it was just dis one.

Then another.

Then there were stickers on the dining room table.

Then signs leaning against the wall.

Then boarding passes.

Then a cat tree appeared in the living room that neither of us was allowed to claim permanently.

Naturally, we launched an investigation.

Pecan Pie supervised from a comfortable position nearby.

I, Blueberry Biscuit, took a more active role in quality control.

After several weeks of careful observation, we have reached dis conclusion:

Our mom is preparing for Carolina Kitty Con.

The clues are everywhere.

There have been conversations about table runners, lounge passes, giveaways, signs, stickers, and approximately one million other details that humans apparently consider important.

Pecan Pie has been extremely interested in the process.

Mostly because every box might contain treats.

So far, this strategy has been unsuccessful.

Still, he remains optimistic.

Meanwhile, I have been reviewing the plans for our Luxury Flight Lounge.

The seating appears acceptable.

The décor is coming together nicely.

The overall atmosphere is appropriately refined.

This will do.

We are especially excited because Carolina Kitty Con means we get to meet fellow cat enthusiasts and hear stories about the cats who share your homes and your hearts.

One of our favorite things about traveling is meeting new people. Whether we’re flying across the country, exploring a new town, relaxing on a boat, or simply accompanying Mom on one of her adventures, we love seeing how much joy cats bring to the lives of their humans.

Mom often says that every cat has a story.

We think every human does too.

And we love hearing both.

While we are preparing the lounge, Mom is busy getting ready for her presentation on traveling with cats. As experienced travel cats ourselves, we feel uniquely qualified to offer our support.

Pecan Pie’s contribution has primarily involved demonstrating proper napping techniques in airports.

I have focused on maintaining high standards for accommodations.

Together, we believe we make an excellent team.

As June 20th and 21st get closer, the excitement around our house continues to build.

There are still boxes arriving.

There are still lists being made.

And there is still a surprising amount of work involved in creating a lounge worthy of distinguished feline guests.

We hope you’ll stop by and say hello if you’re attending Carolina Kitty Con.

We’ll be the ones overseeing operations from the comfort of dis first class.

Purrs,

Pecan Pie & Lady Blueberry Biscuit

While we’re busy preparing for departure, Mom is busy preparing for Carolina Kitty Con too.

She’ll be speaking about traveling with cats—everything from road trips and air travel to hiking, boating, and helping families determine whether their cat is truly an adventure cat.

We’ll let her take it from here.
