Gemini and Ichiro said...

Is this in honor of my wedding? I was married three years ago to Latte as well!

Nikita Cat said...

Where's me a plate?

Let's see, first a glass of the Catnip Margarita, then a little bit of the ham, and chicken, a piece of roast lizard, never had THAT before!

Or the eel for that matter, so I'll grab a bit of that, too!

Need another, Hic, Margarita, to make the unfamiliar foods go down, Hic, bet, um, bet, um, easier!

Now let me go find a spot in a Cat Tree to relax in, and watch the dancing while I eat.

I don't do dancing, myself, I just watch.

Much safer that way! ;-D
