Default Purrparing for the Jellicle Ball

[ Sammy Redcat, Ranger, Francesca the Fierce, and Benni the Tiny
'port to Big Cedar Lodge - specifically to the Big Cats Cabin. Big
Cats Cabin is located on a private cove, not visible from the main
lodge but the main lodge is easily accessible to kitty guests. The
spa, restaurants, and other facilities of the resort are also fully
available, but the guests on Big Cats Cabin can enjoy total privacy
if desired. They inspect the building and the grounds, and they are
definitely pleased. They step back into the teleport and disappear.

Around half an hour later the familiar shimmer if teleporter passage
appears, and Sammy and Ranger come roaring out of the 'porter at the
wheel of a former airport luggage tractor, now hooked to trailers
full of cooking gear, table settings, and all sort of other
essentials. Ranger takes a shaky step (he's not used to Sammy's
aggressive driving style) then starts unloading supplies.

Minutes later the silence is disturbed by a shimmering teleporter
window appearing in the sky, with a large Sikorsky cargo helicopter
appearing. Fancesca pilots the chopper, with Benni hanging on to her
seat with all of her claws embedded in the seat and her fur fluffed
out. Benni doesn't think any more of Francesca's flying style than
Ranger does of Sammy's driving. The chopper has several large
fabric-wrapped bundles suspended below. Franny winches the bundles
down, then flies the chopper over to clearing in the forest, lands
and shuts down the engines..

Once they arrive at the lodge, Francesca and Benni start untieing the
bundles, which prove to be large tents. They get all of the tent
parts laid out, then decide to wait until there are several big
strong kitties or doggies to help get the tents set up.]


Daisy-chan and Prince finish what can be done (it's more up to big
2foot operations now) and head over.

They check in and find where Sammy, Ranger, and Francesca are and head
over. The proprieter grins and has the kitchen pack up a whole wild
caught duck, 5lbs of fresh ham with bone and 3lbs of fresh fish caught
that morning, then loads them in Prince's backpack and sends them off
with a map to Big Cats Cabin. This is actually a smaller secluded
lodge with several small one room cabins around it and a center open
area with firepit. Lots of room for tents.

It even has it's own private dock with 2 small motorboats. It's not far
at all from the main lodge but a ridge and many trees separate them
from view. The terrain is difficult except by water for a 2foot, but
easy for them so is private.

Arriving, Prince high-5's Sammy and Ranger, then gives Francesca a low
head boop and blushes then scampers off to put away the food for lunch.

Daisy-chan snickers and whispers to Francesca "big goof! I think he
might a little bit sweet on you? Hope you don't mind!"

Meantime Sammy and Ranger start a small fire in the fire pit and put
the spider in, ready to fry up the fresh fish.
