Thank you Kitty Limericks!

Wow! Were we all surprised and honored to to be featured on the KittyLimericks.blogspot.com the past few days. Our pet human has been under the weather and not helping us read other blogs all week. We are hoping she makes more time for blogging soon.

Thank you so much Ms. Karen Jo.... What a nice treat! You are now an honorary member of the Pooses for Peace and will have the protection of The Bite Patrol.

Here are the wonderful limericks by Miss Karen Jo


Nubi Wan Kenobi
Nubee Wan Kenobi is a Jedi kitty.
When he waves his light-saber, it's really pretty.
Get out of the way
When he enters the fray,
'Cause he leads the Bite and Run Committee.

Miss Boo
It is so much fun to party with Boo,
But wear cheap earrings whenever you do.
They may disappear,
Right off of your ear,
If you wear diamond earrings to party with Boo.

Zevo Calamari
Zevo Calamari has a lot of class.
She bit Karl Rove right on the -- ask
Karl Rove just where
The teeth laid him bare.
Then three kitties in black ran off through the grass.

Something to talk about

Associated Press
Pembroke Pines, Florida

Police with military helicopters were called into a small trailer park on Saturday night after several complaints of loud music and drunk cats dancing on mobile-home rooftops. Unconfirmed sources claim that singer Bonnie Raitt and her band showed up at the party unannounced. Raitt will also be performing this week in the area and is said to be BFF with the celebrity cats known as the Pooses for Peace. Miss Raitt performed her famous hit song written by friend John Prine, "Poose Angel From Montgomery" The chorus sung by cats could be heard in the next county.

"Make me an poose angel that flies from montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go"


Florida authorities are also looking for any connection to the mysterious Bite & Run attack during the confirmation of Attorney General Mukasey last week. The Pooses for Peace have not been formally charged or or listed as suspects as there was no evidence left at the scene. All security cameras at the time of the Bite & Run were shut off and all that was left were gloved paw prints.

The only comment Miss Raitt gave to reporters about her association with the rebel cats was "Well there is something to talk about..."

This morning Miss Raitt was seen wearing pajamas, drinking a Bloody Mary sitting on a wicker chair that had been chewed by Bubba the cat. Hung over cats were seen sleeping all over the park.

CNN NEWS FLASH LIVE

I am Wolf Blitzer and welcome to the Situation Room.

Last night the senate confirmed Michael Mukasey as the new Attorney General. Mukasey's confirmation came after an emotional debate over his refusal during Senate hearings to call the interrogation technique that simulates drowning 'torture'. Key Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, argued that was enough reason to oppose the nomination.

Immediately after the confirmation of Mr. Mukasey all 53 of the Senators who voted for Mukasey, as well as the new attorney general were simultaneously bit by cats wearing tiaras, jedi robes, flip flops and beach attire. Screams and obscenities were heard several miles away.

All victims of this Bite And Run remain in stable condition at Walter Reed Hospital.

A note was found by police that said "Certainly if water-boarding is not torture, then neither is biting. Shame on all of you."

All cats escaped the scene of the crime immediately and no suspects have been named. Unconfirmed sources claim the cats were on their way to a party in Florida.

Stay tune for more on CNN.

Party at Bubba's

Hey everyone, Bubba here.....

Since Zevo and Nubi's pet humans still have cooties i have invited them down for the weekend. They could use some Florida sunshine and they need to get away from those infected humans. Carrying trays of chinese herbs and miso soup can really wear a poose out.

Boo and Lucy Fur are tired of breathing burnt ash from the SoCal fires so i invited them too. And since i invited them, i had to invite Tao and Sarge who need to get away from that crying baby with the big feet.

Officially this is a party. Of course since those celebrity pooses will be here we will have to have good beer and margaritas. I will have to think of a way to make sure my pet human goes out this weekend.

Everyone is invited.
B.Y.O.N. bring your own nip

Party on dude,
Bubba

Whew.... i am exhausted. Nursing those humans back to health is so much work. Bringing trays of ginger tea, echinacea drops, Wellness formula, stinky Chinese herbs, tissues and miso soup has worn me out.

Nubi was not much help. He decided to nap with the humans instead of pulling his weight, (which is gaining by the day...hint... hint)

I have decided to take the rest of the day off. Please turn the lights out .....and oh could someone cover me.

The Ghostbusters have been called into Salem today as complaints flooded the local police department after a seance last night at the Casino Calamari. Unconfirmed sources report that the ghost of Frida Kahlo, Doctor Dolittle and a few cats who claimed to have belonged to Nathaniel Hawthorne have been spotted spooking tourists.

The Casino Calamari, owned by celebrity cats Zevo Calamari, Miss Boo and Lucy Fur, all native San Diegans claim that it is part of the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration and that the spirits mean no harm.

A Dia de los Muertos fiesta will be held tonight and tomorrow to honor all those loved ones who passed on .

Salem, MA
Thousands of tourists, hordes of cats and celebrities have been flooding into Salem the past few days to celebrate Halloween.

Mayor Kimberly Driscoll has called for police reinforcements from surrounding cities for tonight. Extra security has also been brought in for the Annual Poose Witch Ball. This event is invitation only. Invitees are picked by the celebrity cats known as the Gatti della Strega (the Witch Cats). Last year the mayor was said to have fainted at the sight of Captain Jack Sparrow and claims her earrings were stolen by the cats.

This year the mayor was not invited . When asked why the mayor was snubbed, Spokes-poose Zevo Calamari replied "She can go hang out at that tacky carnival with those carnies that she forced on the city of Salem. Afterwards she can watch the fireworks over the wrecking yard."

Unconfirmed sources have reported seeing George Clooney , Julia Roberts and the cast of the Rocky Horror Show dining at In A Pig's Eye. Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock were spotted shopping at The Cat, The Crow, and The Crown, run by the official witch of Salem, Laurie Cabot . Oprah and her entourage bought several bottles of Castano wine at Pamplemouse. The remaining cast of Bewitched, led by Doctor Bombay was seen in a chartered Salem Red Trolley Tour Bus on the way to the House of Seven Gables.

Greetings,

It is mandatory that we all dress in costume for the next week since we live in Salem, MASS.

I wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and purrs for all our friends in Southern California. Our pet humans are relieved that their families and loved ones are all safe... and that is all that matters right now.

We are sorry we have not been able to visit everyones' blogs. We were glued to the KPBS site waiting for news of the fires.

Boo and Lucy Fur are safe and flew in from San Diego last night and they are both here at the Casino Calamari for our Halloween Gala. Bubba is flying in from Florida this weekend and Tao and Sarge will also join us. The party starts tonight and ends on midnight November 1.

All pooses are invited. Costumes are mandatory!

Calling from Dante's Inferno

Zevo..... please call me, but use the landline since the cell phones are not working here. My pet human will not let me outside. She said it is too dangerous.

Most of San Diego is burning down and the fire drives coyotes into the city. It looks like the end of the world. .....this is scary stuff.

I am so worried about all the animals who have not been evacuated. And i am really worried about all those poor pooses at the Wild Animal Park. Please have everyone send good thoughts and purrs to all in need.

Poor Lucy Fur and i were supposed to go shopping today..... i guess the malls are closed too. Maybe you can get us a red-eye flight to Salem for the weekend? We would rather be there with you celebrating Halloween than burning in hell.

Pray for rain. Pray for snow.
love

Sending healing purrs and lots of pink sparkles today

Congratulations Al Gore!

Dear Members of The Pooses for Peace,

I am deeply honored to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. This award is even more meaningful because I have the honor of sharing it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change--the world's pre-eminent scientific body devoted to improving our understanding of the climate crisis--a group whose members have worked tirelessly and selflessly for many years. We face a true planetary emergency. The climate crisis is not a political issue, it is a moral and spiritual challenge to all of humanity, and to all pooses. It is also our greatest opportunity to lift global consciousness to a higher level.

My wife, Tipper, and I will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the award to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the U.S. and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis.

Thank you,

Al Gore

p.s. Please join us at the Casino Calamari for a very Green celebration this weekend... hosted by the Pooses for Peace. Crunchy Granola attire is requested.

Sing Along With John Prine Tonight!

"But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.

No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."
