    Maybe she is telling you she wants to go riding with HRH Pookie and the
    other equestrian kitties! 8^)

    It's funny that you mentioned that.....Nippa *loves* to sleep on
    anything horsie, including blankets w/ that `old sweat/absorbine'
    scent - yech!
    
    When she was hurt and depressed, I was bringing her w/ me where ever
    I went, because she seemed happier being w/ me, that being alone in her
    misery.  Anyway, I brought her to my girlfriend's barn, and I figuered
    she'd bing out at the sight of horses......quite the opposite.....all
    she wanted to do was lick and kiss them.  It was real cute to see her
    and these huge horses licking and kissing each other.....well the baby
    thought she was a snack  ;^)  But she was very content to be there, in
    a strange place, w/ strange beasts....(she was on a harness - just
    incase).

    Murrrppp Dear Gentle Feline Equestrinne,
    
    Your cat is most welcome in our "Feline Riding Club", but she must
    behave in a dignified manner at all times when at the Hunt club. 
    Payment in advance for all lessons.   Purrrppp,  welcome to our little
    riding circle.
    
    Signed,
    
    Panther Jane Spingler
    Feline Hunt Secretary
    

    Meeooowwww Feline Equistrinnes.....
    
    I would be most delighted to purrticipate w/ your elite club.  I have a
    good green hunt prospect which I am working with, and I will enjoy
    comparing training notes w/ each of you.  I can not guarentee I will 
    be dignified 100% of the time, but I can assure you we will have a 
    very, very good time all of the time!   I have been doing this for a
    few years now, and know the ins and outs.... 
    
    When is the next meeting?
    
    Purrs-
    Nippa
    
    

    
    Purrrrpppp Welcome Gentle Nippa,
    
    We will be most pleased to add you to our class.  I'm sure our
    illustrious instructor won't mind.  (Gentle Maureen, that means more
    money for BOTH of us, Purrrppp.)
    
    We ride on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Bridge club is on Friday at my
    house, (bring your pocket money, large bills are fine, sometimes we
    "make the game more interesting" with a genteel wager on the outcome.)
    
    Dear Nippa, please be sure to wear correct hunt attire and hard hat.
    
    Regards,
    
    Panther Jane Spingler  Purrrppppp
    
    

    Well, pardners, seems we'all had better start up our own 
    ridin' type social club.  We right don't fit in with those
    there fancy duds and tea sippin' cats.  An' they even eat
    them there crumpet thin's, too.
           
    Please pass the chaw of tobaccy, thank you kindly there, Rusty.
    
    Bye y'all-                           
    
    The ranch hands,
    Rusty, Casey, Pepper & B.K.
     

    Well, Peaches thinks she should be allowed to join the Feline Riding
    Club rather than Snuggles.  After all, she's the one that rides around
    the house perched on Daddy's back.  (He still insists he's not attached
    to them.)
    
    She will bring Snuggles along as her groom.
    

    Purrrrppp hi to all of you!
    
    We certainly can accomodate another feline equestrian in our small
    but elite club. And for bridge also, provided they can play 5 card
    majors.  It's the only bidding system Mistress Tasia knows.
    
    Speaking of Tasia, she asked me to let you know that she will be
    unable to participate in our lessons for a few weeks due to the
    impending birth of her kittens.
    
    And Gentle Nippa, I'm sure you have sufficient taste and breeding
    so as not to be influenced by some of the previous unsavory replies.
    Chewy Tobacco Indeed! What some cats won't do for attention.
    
    Sincerely,
    
    Maureen, B.H.S.F.R.I
    
    
        

    
    I'll take a guess at all those impressive initials after your name...
    Big Shaggy Horses, Feline Rated Instructor!?!?!?
    
    Feline Silly,
    
    Sue & Panther (Who is impressed by initials) & Spot (who wants to join
    						the group that chews tabacco!!!)
                                                

    Oh puhleaze!
    
    British Horse Society Feline Riding Instructor.  You have so much
    to learn!  Now this end with the ears is the "front" of the horse...
    
    

    Well, Bonnie says she can't play bridge but will gladly help out
    by serving tea and cookies while the older felines play.  She
    also says that she wants to learn both styles of riding - english
    AND western.  That way she can ride with the "ladies" sometimes and
    with Bob and Isis (Who are definitely NOT refined kitties) othertimes.
    She thinks she should learn all she can.  
    
    Hallie very much wants to join also, but I told her riding is out
    until after the kittens are born.  Do you, per chance, have a carriage
    available for her??

    Murrpphh,  Hiya Bonnie, This is Spot, if you don't play bridge maybe
    you can join our Friday afternoon club, we play poker, and run numbers,
    and generally try to liven up the Bridge club activities.  It will be
    more fun than waiting on a bunch of stuffed shirt Kitties.
    
    If you don't know how to play, we will teach you.  Bring lots of kitty
    treats or pizza dollars, it is expensive to learn poker.  Happy Hour
    Hoyle (Mccurdy) will also help you learn.  No dress code, jeans and
    leather jackets are fine.
    
    Hope to see you Friday, Murrpphhh...
    
    Cincinnati Spots...(wearing her green eye shade)   :-)

    Hey there Cincinnati Spots!  This is Boogie Cochrane here, and I
    think those Friday poker games sound *real* good.  I got lots of
    kitty treats and pizza dollers cause Mom spoils us, so we can make
    the stakes *real* interesting!!!  Be nice to get out of this house
    with all these "refined" Siamese.  Can I bring my friends Belle,
    Mips and Misha?  I bet they'd enjoy it too, and we could really
    stick it to those old Siamese at home.  We'll rev up the turbo
    Mustang and pile in! Just look for the silver tabbies with the
    matching black leather jackets.

    Don't forget BAIL MONEY.

    Murrpphhh Hiya Boogie, This is Spot, any loose Tabbie is okay in my
    book!!!  Do we get to ride around in the turbo Mustang too???  We could
    have lots of fun together, the more the merrier!!!
    
    Re: -.1  Watch it Argus...Grrrr, you are muscleing in on Kostas'
    bussiness, he is my lawyer and he really understands my particular
    needs.  Bail and Bribes a speciality!  (The hot line is handy tho, it
    sure helped when we had some difficulty with the police a few weeks
    back.
    
    Feline like a party animal,
    
    Murrppphhh Spot (Cincinnati Spots)
    
                                       

    And all this time I thot that Spiro was the party animal of the crew.

    Hi Spot.  This is Bonnie.  I don't have much pizza money but I 
    could sell my show ribbons.  How about that?   
    
    My mom says I can come along with you guys as long as you make
    sure I don't get into any real trouble.  I don't understand it all
    but it has to do with my being a "breeder" and getting hot or something.
    
    See you soon....Mom is getting me a leather jacket.  I like brown.
    
    Bonnie B. Bittencat

    
    Murrpphhh...
    
    Yahooooo,  looks like a good turnout for todays festivities!!!
    Bonnie, no problem, we can sell your show ribbons to the the old
    biddies, er..., umm the "ladies" in the Bridge club.  They love that
    sort of thing.
    
    Bye the way, you can tell your Mummie that there is no problem with
    getting hot, we hold our parties in the Family room in the cellar, it
    is always cool in the summer.
    
    Murrpphh, Hey Happy, we have some new suckers er ummm, player to teach
    this week!  We should get extra Pizza!
    
    Cincinnati Spots   

    Hey Cincinnati Spots!  Gonna be a great turnout, huh?  
    If we get tired of poker and running numbers, we can all
    go cruisin' in the Mustang!  Gonna be a great day!  Maybe
    we can drive up to the beach!   
    
    Don't worry about getting too hot Bonnie! When you're
    hanging with the tabbies, you're cool, cool, cool!!! 
    Be sure to wear you're leather jackets!
    
    Boogie and the Tabby Crew (Misha, Mips and Belle)

    Excuse me.  
    
    We "Ladies" do not buy our ribbons.  We earn them.
    
      - Ms. Tasia Marie Axtell
    

    
    Purrrppp Gentle Tasia Marie,
    
    I am so glad you pointed that out to that band of ruffians.  Buying
    ribbons indeed!!!  Grrrr, the very idea!
    
    I am so very glad that you will be playing Bridge with us, you are just
    the sort of refined, genteel Lady that we look for in our membership. 
    Here is hoping the "Poker Playing ruffians" leave us in peace.
    
    Your for reverse double bidding, (in spades)
    
    Panther Jane Spingler
