Mitzi has called her first social event a ‘coffee and chat’, although, since felines prefer a milky drink to coffee, another title would have been more appropriate in my view. I think they like catnip in their beverages, judging by the laughter I hear from the private area of the deck she set up at the Yacht Club. Cynthia, being the main instigator, was the first to register with a guest companion.
Mitzi tells me she was pleased with the turnout for the occasion. Some cats turned up in very casual attire, while others wore pearls and hats.
Cynthia, dressed in an attractive aqua outfit, had invited the Duchess of Portia, her regular afternoon tea guest, although Mitzi sensed that Cynthia was trying to expand her friendship network. Candy, the white cat at the far table, would have made a far more interesting companion for Cynthia.
The cats sat in pairs and chatted to each other, but suddenly little Nero appeared. He is a real sweetie of a cat and proved himself a hero recently. He enjoys working with the guests, so Mitzi invited him to do some of his juggling in the hope he would liven up the event.
Nero moved from table to table, showing off his routine and bringing smiles to all faces. He then offered to show the interested guests how to juggle. So the afternoon ended on a happy note with guests moving around and meeting others.

Later, Mitzi promised Cynthia that she would start some activities where cats would interact with others they hadn’t met before.
