Daisy-chan looks about and smiles, especially at Benni who is hugging
Prince. She notes the Buffet table is being refreshed with breakfast
and goes over to join the line as a few add some final logs to the fire
to ward off the early chill and damp.

Rocky wets some acorns and adds them to a long armed popcorn maker and
sets them to toast over the fire then orders his breakfast of fresh
fried grubs with a few sprigs of mint and a bowl of warmed raw egg.

Prince brings over a tray and sets fried trout hemingway in the center
for all then smaller plates by it. He sets a pot of warm Dashi down
with several tea cups then a big plate with bacon and a bowl of various
cut fruits. Lastly he sets his plate down with a buttered bone in
T-bone (lightly seared outside, raw in center) and a few endive leaves
centered with frozen bacon and a hint of horseradish sauce (a delicacy
he learned from a Russian Blue at a 'Best of Breed' gathering some
years ago).

Others join and this time they had arranged for cleanup so have only to
neatly stow their own camping gear and later, Prince and some of the
bigger members will put the Podium back in the shed. For now it is
there if there are any final tributes.

Daisy-chan joins her, with a bottle of RISATA PINK MOSCATO. She laughs
and directs P2nya to Benni who is valiently trying to carry a bag for
Rocky. 'That's life and love my friend. It carries on.'

As the kitties are packing up to leave Lucy spots a large truck pull in.
On the side is a logo with a purple cat. She walks closer and sees two
cats exit the cab. " Meb, Tom is that you?"
Tom: Yes. It's so good to see you again. We are on our way about 50
miles south of here to drop off supplies to a village that was flooded
and their warehouse was destroyed. They lost all their food and some of
the other building in the village.

Lucy: The Jellicle Ball is ending but, come join us and have something
to eat. You can meet the cats, doggies and other animals that are here.

Meb: If your sure no one will mind. We would love to meet everyone.

Tom: Rocky, we will have more trucks arriving today and some of them are
empty so we can load any supplies you have.

[Rocky disappears into the teleporter. Not too long after, a rumble can
be heard coming from the 'porter. Soon a bright yellow warehouse tractor
pulling a string of carts similar to airline luggage carts zips out of
the 'porter. The carts are loaded with raw ingredients, ready to eat
food, preparation equipment, and miscellaneous supplies.]

As the empty trucks arrive they start loading them.
Tom: Thanks for all the supplies. This will really help.

Prince comes up. He stops respectfully back so as to not look too big.
He's just finished packing up his gear and helping Daisy-chan and the
Countess with theirs. At first they look at him a bit askance, but
then they see Benni is riding his back and playing with his ears...

P2nya packs the remaining BooTeek items in quite a few of
the boxes...
These are more items to send. It's still warm in Cattyfurrnya
so these things will help. If you want more, I'm porting back
and can meet ya at the BooTeek, and add some kolder itemz.

HTH= Happy To Help,

Tom: Thank you P2nya. I'll have my helpers load them into a truck.Benni
can you come here to help me.

Benni: What can i do? I'm to small to help load trucks.

Tom: I have to check what is on each pallet and I will number them. The
trucks starting from the left will be #1, #2 and so on. You need to make
sure the correct pallets are loaded on the correct truck.

"Hi Tom, I am Prince and this is Benni. She's about to go help make
sure the right pallets go on the right trucks. Is there someplace I
too can help? Back home the shelters are full and they are getting
more in from North Carolina. I can help drag some pretty big loads to
where the fork lifts can handle them into the trucks". Benni gives one
last playful bat at his ears then runs down his back and jumps off to
go help sort out pallets. She's too small as of yet to load things
effectively, but she is very good at math and numbers.

I can do dat! Mine clowdermates have taught me real good to count and to
read!

[Benni runs over to the pallet that just got a "1" sticker slapped on it. ]

Hey, you, mister fork truck driver kitty, dis pallet goes in dat truck
[pointing to te first truck on the left. She stays on top of the pallet
as the fork life lifts it and rolls towards the truck.]

Whee! Err, um, yes, perfect, that's the truck.

Prince lends a big paw and drags pallets to the right place while Benni
directs the truck drivers to pickup the right ones per truck. She has
them all on a clip board and is having fun!

The Contessa notes Daisy-chan's tail is dropping a bit and her nose
seems a bit pale, so sits with her to have a small cup of hot tea wth
nip as they watch the young ones. They laugh as Pepe and Gigi start
marking the pallets with bigger numbers based on a list Benni gave them.
