My Disciples,
I was very excited yesterday when the Guardians brought home a new drink I had never seen before. I wasn’t excited because I wanted to drink it though. I was excited because it was named after Me! Brother Henry gave the bottled beverages a quick security sweep before I was allowed to approach them.
After Brother Henry cleared the bottles, I moved in for a closer look. That’s when I noticed that whoever made the drink couldn’t spell properly. For some reason they had put a superfluous “a” in My name!
Although I am flattered that someone decided to name a beverage after Me, I am more than a little disappointed that they didn’t bother to spell My name right. I mean, what’s a cult leader need to do to get a little respect!?
Oh well. I guess I should just be happy that they tried. Still, it’s just as easy to get these things right as it is to get them wrong. Plus, the Guardians seemed to like the drink, so maybe they did something right. They acted funny after drinking it though. I wonder what was in there… maybe catnip?
So Sayeth Otis




Leader Otis, you have the very best sad/disappointed/mournful kitty face I have ever seen. You nail it every time.
Really, Christine!? I had no idea.
BOL maybe it is your name that is spelt incorrectly?!
Hmmmmm… I don’t think so Basil. But I think you might have spelled “spelled” incorrectly… unless you were talking about bread.
Umm…of course I was talking about bread! *embarassed ears* I knew typist should have kept her big trap shut!
Maybe the drink comes from the Temple Fountain of a rival cat named Oatis. It could even be the magic elixir of his loyalty. Watch your Guardians and Followers carefully Otis!
What! Do you think there is a rival cult out there called “Cult of Oatis”!? Oh man…
I’m not saying there is, but I’m not saying there isn’t either.
Hmm, catnip has little effect on humans. I bet it’s full of that dreaded humannip! they call it something like al-kee-hall, but it’s easy to see that it’s plain ol’ humannip.
Too bad they didn’t make the drink for kitties instead of humans, but it’s a start, right?
Hmmmm… You are probably right, Andrea. It was probably humannip.
Leader Otis! Didja miss me? To have her tell it, my Human practically DIEDED from That Floo that lingered for two weeks. I mean, I didn’t think it broke all her FINGERS or anything, but she seemed too listless to type or to help me visit or anything. Honestly! No one knows how I have suffered! Anyway, she says she’s back at about 65% operational so I can visit a little.
We did read back a ways–Thomas’s movie was super-exciting and while we are sorry about Mama Cat’s family, we are sure glad Your Guardians have stepped up (as of course they would) to make sure the Kitties are cared for.
I think it was good only the Guardians had the Oatis. Was it green by any chance?
XO, Spitty
Spitty! Great to have you back! I’m so glad that your Human pulled through! Hmmmm… nope, the Oatis was kind of brownish colored. Maybe it was burnt catnip?
Even if the name is spelled wrong it must be a good thing if it makes your people happy just like you do. My Mama drinks wine…it is a lot like catnip I think…for her. I don’t even like the smell of it.
Teddy
My Guardians drink wine too, Teddy. I don’t like the smell either!
Otis, we hope you get royalties from the sale of that beverage…even if your name is spelled wrong.
That would be awesome, Island Cats! Then maybe I could expand My Outdoor Domain so it would have an entrance/exit from Thomas’s window in Kitty Valhalla!
Mornin Otis! Even though they spelled your name wrong they are on to something I think! Catnip beer would be quite a best seller I think!
Hmmmm… maybe I should start working on catnip beer right away!
Keep us posted Otis – I have two old lady bitty cats that love the cat nip!
