With dinner and cocktails over, many kitties sleep
late the next morning...

Daisy-chan, Cash and Aunti Mabel having told their tales, get dressed for
the day.

Daisy-chan is in a sporty bright yellow outfit. Aunti Mabel laughed and
matched with a tassel bottomed yellow soft 2 piece outfit. Cash sighed
('yellow is so not my color ladies!) then found them fitting his favorite
blue collar with a little darker yellow bow. He prances to the mirror and
poses. 'Um, ladies, would it be ok to wear one of the tail ornaments? Mebby
a blue one?'. Daisy-chan scampers over to the gift box and selects a blue
one and helps him get it on.

As they leave to go see the morning events, WooToo comes out and gives Cash
a high-5 for the warning zone.

Anaïs awakens, realizing that they will be in
Jamica in a day or two - and taking her sunglasses
and the latest issue of the Mew Yorker, finds a
comfortable deck chair in the sunand relaxes into
a gentle sleep...

Daisy-chan and Aunti Mabel settle near Anais while Cash finds a catender.
Whispering softly, the catender's eyes melt and he nods then comes back with
cold fresh water with many little ice cubes and a small almost frozen
serving of duck pate sitting on a bed of ice. He gently positions this so
Aunti Mabel can reach it easy. 'Madame Aunti, iffin you needs anything
else, jus calls fur me. Iz Rico'. 'Tangyu Rico! This is jus right' says
Aunti Mabel as she scarfs it all up.

Rico trots off to whisper to the other catenders. 'ouch, Ted took 4 teef
frum her just Sunday anna she's all swelled up onna one side. She's a
trooper doe. Herself has 2 friends watchin her close anna just needs *cold*
*soft* munchies jus now.'. One of the other catenders gets an idea and
excuses herself to go talk with the chef.

Meantime, Anais wakes a bit and smiles to see the chez shenk's family
enjoying the warm sun. Seeing Cash trying vainly to fit on the smaller deck
chairs and giving up with a goofy grin, she silently signals an assistant to
bring a larger one. This is a sun matt a good 2 inches thick and big enough
for 2 of him, or the whole family.

Cash thanks Anais with a happy wag that softly jingles and settles in for a
nap. In moments, he finds his belly is now covered by Aunti Mabel and
Daisy-chan is on his hip half spread over Aunti Mabel. Woof. woof.....wagg
snore

As they nodd off, the morning chef comes out padding very quietly to check
and sees Aunti Mabel's face is all puffy on one side. He has just the right
things in mind. Plotting, he comes up with a nice special brunch and nodding
to himself, doubles the recipe as they have many friends.

Back in the kitchen, kittahs scurry swiftly bringing him things as a wonder
develops under his swift but sure paws. It's all on ice and kept cold but
it's 'geld' consommé of duck in small cubes setting on a bed of chilled but
first steamed green beans and between the stock/consommé cubes are little
bits of salmon, shrimps, and pulled soft pork. At the side, is a bowl of
pureed nip and cream. Lovingly they place this all in the fridge to await
just the right time to present it.

Ms Anias rolls over with a happy smile. All is well.
