Hellow Ladies and Gentlebeings!

I am Princess Malee of Koh Kood and the surrounding Islands. My
father King Chanarong and I would be delighted to have you join us
as we honor Bast!

As you make your decision on which place to stay, here are some
things about Koh Koot, also called Koh Kut.

Every year we gather at our temple (cataporter to the side) which
is a secluded area.

The temple is the white roof you see and it is open on all sides,
on raised posts. It keeps us dry if the ceremony parts happen
during our short spates of rain. It has all the things we need.

For our sisters and brothers on the mainland, we run a special
speed boat from Liam Sok, free for all guests who desire some
adventure on the way in instead of a direct cataporter. We also
have a catacopter but our pilot is 'with Bast', as we say.

It is available for use as Daisy-chan says you have a pilot. Our
own is still in training and not allowed to carry passengers yet,
though he only needs a few more lessons to get his catacopter
license.

Daisy-chan explained what your normal ceremonies are like and
while a little bit more formal than ours, they match very
closely. We will be happy to let your people preside.

We will add only a single line to the list to be read (Kittahs of
Koh Kood who are with Bast) and the King and I will add our normal
honors (which match your wording: 'we render back to Bast, what
was always in our hearts, her's to begin with').

One part of our tradtions is that during the day, we try to catch
a good amount of fish for the feast. Even the littles help with
digging clams or catching freshwater crawfish. We make a game of
it.

Any kittah who doesnt catch anything, we believe was designated by
Bast to assist with preparing the food and serving it. We make
that fun too! (and not too long for any 1 gentlebeing). We
believe She plans it that way because we don't have traditional
servants at this time. Certainly we also play games and other
things just like you do!

We are simple Islanders here and have never had an actual dress up
ball! We would love that and even if you select another site, we
are going to try that ourselves here this year!

We were delighted to meet your Diplo-doggie! Iowna was charming
and explained all the doggies are special cat friends who honor
our celebrations. They will be welcome!

Princess Malee, with with love from the Kingdom of Chanarong

Greetings Princess Malee. I yam P2ña, pronounced Pit2nya, AKA
Sweetee, Grand Pooh Bah, of our Over-Clowder.
I yam kwite impressed with your island, and yes, our customs do seem
to be similiar. We are happy to accept your houspitality, and plan
to help in any way that we can. Fangu for having us.

P2ña

Most thank you Grand Poohbah! WEz look very forward to working wif
your people and making a very good time fur all!

WEz chatting P2na, here and wez not really sure what to wear to a real
ball? Wez neber had one. Just sort of folk dances iffin you knowz
what we mean. Mai folks gave me a list of hopefully simple questions
so wez ready on our end. I'z answered bestest I kan.

:Can we use glitter on our feets so wez not have to wear shoes?:
ANS: I think so and it would be very pretty.

o you know where we can get man-ties?:
ANS: Iowna said they have a boutique that travels anna you pays with
local fish. Not at all expensive. 15-20 minutes local time fishing
should work furr a man tie. Local flower types will be fine too.

:Ize gotta lovely dress left from grammy. Will it do?:
ANS: Yes! Bringz it on gal! Iz got some nice beads dat match it even!

:I wuz scared of the doggies but Iowna wuz really nice. Is dey all
like her?:
ANS: Yes, dey is all nice. Watch for happi tails wagging but dez wear
bells to warn us. No kittahs have been hurted but 8 years ago, one
gotted knocked to the side a bit.

:Kin we add our National song to the ball? Or play it before?:
ANS: I think so. I don't recall mentioning we are the land of Siam,
refugee cats from China and the land of siamese cats. They will not
mind us singing at all. Some of them are ex-pat Siamese afterall.

oes dey know how to fish?:
ANS: Yes! Wez mebby need to help with bitty kitties anna clams anna
crawdaddies.
