Meet the Neighbors, episode two

Mister Sam's human housemates have just released this swell picture -- isn't he handsome? Looks like one of his human housemates was squeezing him a bit, ouch! Well, I am sure Sam-o took it in stride. The path to international fame is rarely smooth, eh Sammie? Give the boy some catnip!

HHs, thanks for sharing.
With a kit-cat cheerie-bye on this Summer's day,

Our New Favorite Black Cat Bling

See! Newly-received black cat brooch from totally swell people! Wearing this pin helps us to feel connected to our black (and non-black) kitties wherever we roam. Fondness and fashion in one go -- it's so cheering!

Thank you very much, swell people.
 Cheers,
Trix

Who Wants to Be a Star?

Do you know any tea-drinking cats (or non-tea-drinking cats) who want to be poster children for The Black Cat Tea Room? Please send us their particulars such as the name of your kitty, gender, age, and anything else fun we ought to know -- such as their favorie tea; and a JPEG image (we can edit it for size, no worries); and how you would like the credit to be written... Looking forward to seeing pretty kitty faces in the pipeline real soon. No money will change hands, this is for fame and glory only  =^..^=

Sitting down with our very own Prince Rupert (a former foundling) for late-evening tea and a chat (ha ha, that IS a play on words -- chat as in discussion, chat as in French for cat... oh never mind),

What They Say

The amiable and fruitful discussion continues on Facebook today re: what to call a tea venue. Popular suggestions include tea room, tearoom, tearooms; teahouse, tea house; and tea lounge. We'll keep the lines open, so please step up and give your opinions and suggestions freely.

Speaking of "freely," all items in The Black Cat Tea Room are currently free. Yes, that's right: gratis, costs-no-money, $0. Ha ha, this is, after all, still a fantasy tea room!

Set a spell and refresh yourself with tea. Our mascot yawns in approval.
Cheers, Trix
