Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice*

Hello, Kitties! Today I am on lovely Mackinac Island with the even-more lovely and beauteous Zoey of the Island Cats. Now, honestly, it was Wally and Ernie, those Big Bad Boys, who yearned for an outing in the FURRari, but seriously? Would I want to spend a romantic day in this gorgeous place with them? It is to laugh!
It seems that ordinarily cars are not permitted here, only bikes and horse-drawn carriages, but let's get real: Do you think they would really keep out Spitty and Zoey and the FURRari?  Of course not! So we were granted special purrmission. 
Here we are at the gingerbready Murray Hotel where we consumed a fine cocktail and a tasty luncheon. We cavorted around the Island and caught a few little woodland creatures, which we ended up letting go, since we had already dined so well. After a delightful nap and snuggle we headed for Zoey's, where I delivered her into the giant paws of her brofur Ernie. He and Wally were clearly envious of her adventure, but I just waved and chuckled as I sped away!

Gratuitous Spitty Pin-Up Shot
Yes, thank you, I *do* look adorable.

Spitty, Salem says the G.C. is a fine destination...they proly don't allow FURRaris at the bottom, though. Say, you don't drive like Toonces, do you?

Angel Prancer Pie said...

Dearest Spitty, why don't you drive the Furrari down Old Route 66? The ladycats here would luv to show you around! That would be an excellent road trip for next summer!

Catio Tales said...

Just don't think about coming over here matey - not unless that thing's got a roof, and snow tyres and an engine heater.

Nice gratuitous Spitty shot. Not too much brown today, hehehehe.

I love all these seductive photos of you, Spitty... and knowing that your human cannot take undue advantage!

Cotton said...

Wow, Spitty I'm not surprised you were granted permission!
And yes, you *are* pretty adorable :)

Spitty you is one travelin' kitty

Catio Tales said...

My esteemed King Spitty etc etc. I of course did not mean to cause offence regarding the growing royal girth - nor that of the generous Miss Salem, whom her own Screechy Lady calls 'The Whale'. Remember here in Finland an extra bit of insulation from fish oil is a good thing and you should see my fattist comments as a compliment.
Yours in apology, Punapippuri, KKCofF (N)

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

Adorable, gorgeous, handsome, so snuggle-able! If only.. sigh But yes, you are adorable!
Love the trip, driving where no cars are allowed! Somehow, I can see them letting YOU!

Star says: I am so sorry that I made you look bad in front of your human... How can I make it up to you, Spitty dear? Shall I pop over and lick your sweet face and nuzzle your ears?

Pat Hatt said...

You waste on time, quite the traveling feline!

Cory said...

So how many lovely ladies are gonna get a ride in your Furrari? Jonesie says she's up for an adventure if you would be willing to drive her to some famous botanical gardens or something like that.

And Spitty, when I call you a player, I mean it in the nicest way...you are a mancat that likes to play the field. No tying you down to a single ladycat.

Brian's Home Blog said...

When it comes to the Ladycats you are Thrills on Wheels Spitty!

Seville at Nerissa's Life said...

Of course they would give you special permission to drive your Furrari. I mean... after all... YOU'RE THE KING! purrs

Shaggy and Scout said...

Not to insult Michiganders but that motto could use a bit of tweaking.

Cathy Keisha said...

I can't wait to see tomorrow's episode of Where's Spitty and who the lucky girl cat is. heh heh. I'm still thinking of that ferious picture of you from yesterday.

Cathy Keisha said...

BTW, isn't it time you changed into that nice Christmas header I made you last year? Weren't you just crying about not having a new header?

GLOGIRLY said...

Ah, Spitty? I'm starting to get just a little bit jealous. You're just lucky that Furrari is red and not pink.

Mr. Black said...

I've very envious of your road trips. I'm a bit of a homebody, but you have inspired me to venture away from home for some short trips.

I'd like to see you maneuver that Furrari down Lombard Street.

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

OH Spitty you fellas sure know how to have a lot of fun. Enjoy your ride in the FURRari!

Ivan from WMD said...

Once again I've had to hide most of your post from the heartbroken Snapoline, else she would snap at me because I'm close. I'm pretty sure this breaks some Bro Code.

Callie (a.k.a. Trouble) said...

Uhmm, Spitty, when is Dallas going to see a Furrari?

Sassy

The Island Cats said...

Spitty! Thank you SO much for taking me for a spin in your FURRari! Didn't you just love driving around on Mackinac? And you didn't even hit any of the bikers! How impressive!! Let's do it again...soon.

Zoey

(I love it when you speak Latin...meeeooowww!)

Katie Isabella said...

Oh Spitty. You look like what you are.. A handsome come hither Mancat. <3

Just Ducky said...

Latin? are you getting all learned on us Spitty?

Furries said...

A photo of you is never gratuitous.

Oui Oui said...

That Furrari sure looks like fun! We hope you put it through its paces!
