This year's party is dedicated to our sweet Auntie Judi-Bug,

Tha mariachi band is tuning up, to gets us in tha spirit....
...so grab a sombrero...


and a drink... a Catnip Tini or Blue-Fin Tuna Meow-Garita...
... or a tasty shot of LizQuila!
... and a bunch of Catnip!



Time To Eat!

We's starting wif an early breakfast, just grab a plate and fill it up.

 New this year is a tasty Bison roast. Served furry rare. Yum.


Just like last year, our grills a going and we's gotted real live dead ham, roast chick-hens, steaks, an fresh fishies!


Trays piled high wif crisp roasted lizards... crunch, crunch, crunch!

Also a past year's favorite, totally kitty comfort food... chewy eel steaks.


And I was able to get more LIVE eels. Double yum. Crunch, crunch, crunch!

Back by popular demand, we haf a superbly roast duck with catmint.

And a huge yummy Roast Beast.



An fur dessert, try a nice slice or two of tres leches cake


with a side of warm and crunchy mouse puddin!

For the kittens, or any age cat, we haf bowls of heavy thick cream.

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!

 Once we've eaten our fill,
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.



Don't furget about our water fountains:
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.

LATE LATE NIGHT-EARLY MORN FESTIVITIES

The beautiful firey fireworks shows will be scheduled effurry hour all tha way until dawn!!!!!
It seems most of us haf gathered here on top of the Biggie Ferris Wheel. 
There's dancing and a small band playing...
Zippy's new vershun of Tha Hat Dance, which premiered in 2011, is now a new tradishun for our Cinco de Mayo party!
We's opened the CATNIP BAR up here as well. 
There is still plenty to eat from tha food bar.
And broke out the best Lizz-Quila for tha last hours of Cinco de Mayo!
So pass those bottles around to effurryone!
Nip Cigars for each and effurrycat.


Tha kittens are all tucked into their beddies high in the trees to watch tha fireworks.
They haf lovely creme brulee drinks and warm mouse and sugar cookies. 




Late tonight or tomorrow morning, before you go, take a whack at one of the pinatas.
Ours be specshul fur kitties, wif lots of temptations, fev-ver butt mices,
nip nannas, bunny kickers plus a few surprises.
We's also gotted specshul pinatas fur tha woofies, buns, hampsters and tha donkeys.

So party and frolic and eat and drink and dance, and chase them voles...
and when the sun starts to set, settle down and watch the beautiful fireworks.

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.

3 kats and a kwiltr said...

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

Nikita and Elvira Mistress of Felinity said...

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.....

Team Tabby said...

The Royals and Gentleman Beau said...

~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

Cathy Keisha said...

This is my first year at your Cinco de Meowo bash! It looks like a good time.

KC and the Giggleman Kitties said...

:: Faith Boomerang grabs Billy by the paws and leaps onto the dance floor ::
:: There isn't any conversation, as Miss Boo blushes and blushes ::

KC and the Giggleman Kitties said...

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

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

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.

Karen Jo said...

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

Oui Oui said...

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.

The Royals and Gentleman Beau said...

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.

Gigi said...

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!

GLOGIRLY said...

Happy Cinco de Mayo, KC and the Gang!!!
Pawsome party!

...I'll take a vole please. But hold the eel.
; ) Katie

KC and the Giggleman Kitties said...

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

The Crew said...

Hey, we're here for the Stinky Mayo...no wait...that's Cinco de Mayo party!

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?
