An fur dessert, try a nice slice or two of tres leches cake 
with a side of warm and crunchy mouse puddin!
Play Time
Don't furget to pick up a favorite of all cats, effurrywhere,
a Yeowww Nip Nanna. These are from Baby Patches' Nip & Bones excellent shop.
We've got plenty to go around!
here is the pride of the 2012 Cinco de Mayo Party...
tha hugest roller coaster effur.
Umm, we might want to wait a while after eating before going on that...!
I's just saying!
We haf our ginormous ferris wheel from last year,
so we can enjoy conversashun up high in the sky.
Also a great place fur a nap or two.
Great view for the Fireworks Extravaganza later tonight.
There's lots and lots of trees to climb, an a specshul nap area way up in tha trees.
As usual, we haf The Snakey Woods.
And this year them snakes is really lively after tha long long drought. Happy Hunting.
As always, there's dancing outside to tha live band...
an a DJ up front if you's purr-furr sumfing a little less traditional.
Stop by the Taylor CatSSSSS to hear "Pico de Gallo" by Trout Fishing In America.
It's one of our favorite songs and a Cinco de Mayo tradishun.
row upon row of sparkling silver (akshully stainless steel) fountains with pure water.
Litterboxes are out behind tha trees in a thickly wooded sekluded area.
Be sure to take a badge home wif you.
And now, for yours evening enjoyment, I present to you, The Voles....
Pleeze note that these are just a few of the 46 and counting Voles that are present wif us today.
They find it hard to sit still to haf theirs pickshures taken.
The Vole Chase is always one of the Hilites of our Parties...
Remember, do not harm ours furriendly voles!!!
So wif tha introduckshuns out of tha way, let tha VOLE CHASE begin......
... release tha Voles!!!
:: KC opens box of voles...
about 50 shrieking voles emerge, running at full speed into the woods
immediately followed by lightning fast cats ::
But don't leaf yet, the best is yet to come.

Wow, this is a fantastic party, surely the best ever! We hope we can join you, even though our mom didn't do a post for us today...just kind of a roller coaster week for her. But if we're still welcome, we'd love to celebrate with you all!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
-Nicki and Derry
Oh Wow, this looks like such a great party. We are going to dig in right away. What a wonderful wonderful idea to make it in honor of Judi. That is just perfect. We are purring and praying for her. We have a donkey on our post. Take care.
WooooHoooooo, I am here and soooo ready to parteeeeee!
Happy Cinco de Mayo to all!
Happy Cinco Sinko everyone!
Your party is always so much fun and we have so much to celebrate this year. Purrs for Judy, what a lovely idea to throw the party in her honor.
For years, we've heard about your Cinco de Mayo party and seen the pictures of all the great food and such, but we have never been able to join all of you. This year is different! Our mommy said we can come and party with all of you and she'll pop over later to take us home. We had to promise to behave, so if Runt starts dancing on the tables, please don't tell mommy.
We can hardly wait to try all the good eats and to ride the roller coaster! And we think the idea of making JudiBug guest of honor is excellent!
So, salud and gracias for having us!
Taz, Runt and Charles
OMC !
What a GREAT Cinco de Mayo Party !
Looking forward to taste the Lizquila :)
Looks like it's another great party. Not sure about the roller coaster, but the ferris wheel looks like fun.
Boy, are we ready to party! Mom said we can stay as long as we like or until we get kicked out! MOL!
What a great party, but we're going to pass on the live eels... eww!!!!!
WE'RE HERE!!! WHOO HOO....KC always has the best parties!
Hmm.....what to drink first....oh well....it is 5:00 somewhere...right????

Feliz Cinco De Mayo!!!!!! Tienen un gran tiempo todos!!!!!!

the roasted lizards were goooood,

Maggy and Zoey
(and Ann)
Nikita Cat, & Elvira Mistress of Felinity, arrive early in the morning, skipping their usualy breakfasts, to chow down in one of KC's Sinks, with some Mayo, or whatever else they can sink their hungry paws into to get started.....
Nikita plops a hat on Elvira's head, and gives her a plate of Bison, Roast Lizard, Eel Steak, and Duck, as she looks at him with some serious doubt in her eyes....
He shove a nice refreshing Meow-Garitia at her, and says..."Don't question, just eat, it's delicious....trust me....and wash it down with THIS!"
Nikita piles HIS plate high with ham, chicken, and fish, and grabs a bowl of cream.....
Thanks for hosting this wonderful party, KC! I think all of us are ready to help you celebrate.
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Mindy, Moe, Cookie, Mike

~Gentleman Beau~
"I still have a very keen sense of smell, and I smelled a deeeee-licious concoction of real live dead ham, roast chick-hens AND DUCK?! DUCK!! Oh My Bast!!
I have a handsome appetite, so says QM, almost as handsome as I am, and I still am as vain as ever, since I still groom and primp myself for when Samantha, Boo, Marigold and various LadyCats of the CB Teleport over to visit.
As ever the Gentleman as Angel Mom Cathy taught me to be, I try my best to not cause any ruffled furs and show gratitude for all the affection.
And I am, well and truly, grateful
It's also Derby Day, QM tells me, only she pronounces it "DARBY" (I haven't the heart to correct her, poor Old Dear - She still thinks at times We're in "The Old Country".)
Well, I am easily tired these days, so please don't mind my settling down here in the sidelines, to watch ou all frolic and celebrate such a fun and CHIK-HEN-FUL Holiday!! (Mmmm! QM is just finishing up roasting the Hen fur us!! Noms!!)
Best to all!
Yours,
Gentleman Beau
This is my first year at your Cinco de Meowo bash! It looks like a good time.
:: Faith Boomerang grabs Billy by the paws and leaps onto the dance floor ::
:: There isn't any conversation, as Miss Boo blushes and blushes ::
Derby Day, or Darby Day, is furry impawtant to our own Derby. His Gotcha Day is coming up on the 7th and the running of the horsies is where he gets his name.
Wonnerful story.
Wonderfuller kitty.
And we's so glad to see Gentleman Beau up and about and charming all the ladies.
~KC
Happy Cinco de Mayo to all of you. This is the best party ever and a wonderful idea to hold it in honour of JudiBug. We are going to tuck in to the delicious food and then we are having a go on the Ferris Wheel.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! I am ready for everything, but Spyro is a little overwhelmed. I am sure that he will join right in on the vole chase, though.
Herman
We are here! Feliz Cinco de Mayo! What a Fiesta! You did an excellent job throwing this party. We will definitely need a big siesta tomorrow.
Hmmm...We came back to check in on the festivities, but Beau was a little upset - where is his comment? Blogger behaving badly?
So sorry, so sad...
Beau is now tucked in for the night and I shant trouble him any with this nasty omission. He did have a lovely time while he was here.
This is the most fun I effur had on Conco de Mayo! I've had so many meowgaritas, I don't think I can be trusted to chase the voles without making one into a snack, so I think I'll just sit here by CK and rest my eyes for a few minutes!
Happy Cinco de Mayo, KC and the Gang!!!
Pawsome party!
...I'll take a vole please. But hold the eel.
; ) Katie
We's not sure what happened to Gentleman Beau's comments, but him was very much here earlier to the delight of all the lady cats in attendance.
Hopefully it was just a Blogger error.
Beau and The Royals are welcome at all our events.
And tell Beau that he is entered in the contest, two times now, for two comments.
Love & Purrs,
KC
Hey, we're here for the Stinky Mayo...no wait...that's Cinco de Mayo party!
Wow, you've outdone yourself, KC. Everything look great and what a fabulous buffet table.
Let's start with some meowgaritas and some of those shrimps, then we'll dance the night away!!
Burp.........
Samba
Samba, do not be rude. That was nasty. My darling Smokey and his family had thrown this great party. I think you may have eaten and drank to much.
Smokey you dance so well ( smiles) You are the most handsomeness. Wanna rest some more or snuggle on the ferris wheel?
Pixel
Wow, this party is awesome! The noms, drinks and entertainment are amazing! The warm mouse and sugar cookies sound absolutely delish! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Whoohoo! What a fun party!! Thanks for hosting it again!
Happy Cinco de Mayo, amigos!
OMC what a party! Guess what? Cecillia is back home with us so she was just in time to join us before we teleported over to the party! Woo hoo!
Mom says we can't ride the roller coaster until an hour after we've feasted...don't want to urp all over your home!
MOL Fun, Food, and music! We've never had roasted lizard before, yum! Then we filled up on our favorite duck, toddled over to the niptini bar, then there was the vole chase! What a party! Thanks KC for a fantastic 5th of May!
Taffy & my woman, Laura
We have to leave but before we go, we just want to thank you for having such a wonderful party and letting us come. We absolutely enjoyed every minute we spent here and mommy had to free the vole that Runt wanted to take home with him.
Adios, amigos! and mucho gracias.
Taz, Runt and Charles
You always have the best party spread, KC
Hope you had a great day and lots of FELIZ momentos!
We came back for the night time activities!! We're going to chase those voles and then hang out at the catnip bar and watch the fireworks!! This was a pawsome cellybration!!

Tia: Wow, what a night, KC! I'm feeling a bit the worse for wear this morning after all that nip, but that night was the bestest ever!Specially cuz you'd so thoughtfully arranged to have the kittens taken care of! I could really let my fur down for the first time in ages!
Millie: Wowowowowowowowow! Kc, that was the coolest party ever in the whole universe! And I winned lots and lotsa things from the big smacky thing that spitted out treats and toys and lotsa coooool stuffs! And my mummycat says I don't even hafta share cuz there's nobody else to share with and she's got her own stuffs too. And the cookies were yummy! My mummycat's booooooooring. She never lets me have cookies afore bedtime, so it was a real treat! And tha baby's soooooo much fun to play with! Oh, if there's a mess in the kitten bedroom, it wasn't us, nope, no sir! We just went to sleep like good little kittens, right, babycat?
Brilliant party - love those photos. Thanks also for publicising Kizzie's post about rehoming costs.
