Wander With Whiskers – June 19-Carmel-by-the-Sea
Carmel-by-the-Sea
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
We’ll be disembarking our train and checking into the Hyatt Carmel Highlands Hotel, a picturesque retreat overlooking the Big Sur coast with epic views of the Pacific Ocean. Let’s check in, unpack, relax and then meet for dinner in the hotel’s Pacific’s Edge Restaurant, an award winning establishment built with glass walls, showcasing sweeping ocean vistas. We will all meet in the hotel lobby tomorrow morning to begin our tour of Carmel.

Carmel-by-the-Sea was, in the eyes of Devendorf and developer Frank H. Powers, a real estate development in waiting. The two established the Carmel Development Company, which filed its map of the city in 1903 and began to market the haven to the poets and writers, artists and academicians, who would create Bohemia-by-the-Sea and launch the art colony renowned today.

Today, seasoned celebrities come to Carmel to blend like chameleons into this community by the sea. It’s where movie stars can have a romantic getaway. It’s a place with charm and sophistication that makes everyone feel like a celebrity.

Apply some sunscreen, pack a jacket and we’ll take an early morning stroll along pristine Carmel Beach. We’ll continue along Ocean Avenue and experience the finest shopping this side of The Riviera or Rodeo Drive. Hungry yet? Let’s people-watch at famed Hog’s Breath Inn, the popular restaurant and bar once owned by Clint Eastwood & enjoy lunch on the outdoor patio.

We can treat ourselves to a visit to the Cottage of Sweets, voted America’s No. 1 candy shop in a 2009 USA Today poll. Its curlicued roof and storybook architecture make this a quintessentially sweet Carmel spot.

We’ll visit Carmel-by-the-Sea’s City Hall, originally built in 1921 as All Saints Church. It was here that Mayor Eastwood served his term. We can experience the charming history of this famed art colony with a self guided walking tour that starts at Carmel Heritage Society’s First Murphy House, a 1902 legacy of Carmel’s charming history, and Comstock House. Hugh Comstock is accredited with creating the Comstock “Dollhouse Tudor” homes, 300-square-foot quaint cottages, particularly the iconographic Hansel House. In the 1920’s these sold for about $100. Today they sell for over 8 million dollars with their front-row ocean views from Point Lobos to Pebble Beach!

We can enjoy a casually exquisite dinner at one of Carmel’s dozens of top-drawer restaurants and top off the evening with a beach fire and s’mores on captivating Carmel Beach, rated one of America’s cleanest and prettiest.

Tomorrow we will be doing a little bit of walking and driving. So rest up and enjoy your stay at the hotel.

CC is putting a kink in my tail today
& if it moves any slower I'm going to find a snail to blog for me before I start clawing the keyboard...MOL!

I was hissing at the window earlier this morning when I saw my crazy mommy cat Sassee getting ready to jump at the screen. Trixie ran up to join me in hissing at her & then she left so must have decided that pouncing toward 2 hissing kitties might not be such a great idea...MOL! Mom has been able to pet her dark tiger kitten but the other one scampers off (like I used to) anytime he/she hears a noise. Time & lots of mom's patience will hopefully tame these two wildcats just like it did me. Joseph is another prime example of patience & love because he wouldn't have survived without mom's help. He's a sweet & gentle boy that loves to lay on mom's lap when she's sitting outside...or when he's in for his daily visit. I hiss at him when he comes in but he ignores me so guess I'm not as scary as I think I am...MOL!

Zaboo & Patches are doing fine & have been enjoying the last couple of days when mom has been able to open the windows. She says she'll probably have to shut them down later this afternoon though because it's beginning to heat up even higher temps predicted for the rest of the week. Guess we should expect that though since summer is peeking around the corner at us. Well I'd better get pouncing so I can visit as many as possible today & clean up our pages. Have a pawtastic day dear furiends!

Wander With Whiskers – June 18-Big Sur to Carmel
Big Sur Coast Highway to Carmel
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
The Royal Feline Castle Train will be our guide through the Big Sur Coast Highway. We want to enjoy the spectacular scenery during the day, so after dinner on the train, we can all relax onboard for the night. Sip a cocktail in the lounge car, read in the library, gain a tree-top perspective of the landscape from the dome car or join furiends around the piano. Or simply relax in your cabin in the comfort of our sleeping cars until morning, when the breakfast bell chimes, signaling our journey is about to commence.

The stunning views of the Pacific Ocean right outside our windows make the perfect companion to our breakfast meal. Tables are set with crisp starched linens and fine china and glassware reminiscent of the glory days of rail travel.

Timing is perfect to enjoy a spectacular view of the California coastline as our train travels to our next destination of Carmel. We will be traveling the route that hugs the California coast, providing access to austere, windswept cypress trees, fog-shrouded cliffs and the crashing surf of the Pacific Ocean. Views include rugged canyons, towering redwoods, sea lions, and other marine life.

Big Sur's beaches are subject to generally cool weather. Sunny days are sporadic as a blanket of seasonal fog often hugs the coastline, dropping the temperature in the process. Private property and Big Sur's steep terrain make most of its coastline inaccessible to the public. However, several State Park and U.S. Forest Service beaches are open to the public all year. These beaches are recommended due to easy access and spine-tingling scenery.

The actual town of Big Sur has been a fertile area for artistic advancements. A variety of authors have immortalized the region with the written word. In the late 19th century, Robert Louis Stevenson lived briefly in the area, followed by John Steinbeck, Henry Miller, and Jack Kerouac, among others. Unlike many areas honored in literature, Big Sur remains relatively unchanged over the years.

John Steinbeck wrote, "Here at Big Sur, at a certain time of the year and a certain time of the day only, a pale blue-green hue pervades the distant hills; it is an old, nostalgic hue, it is a mystical phenomenon, or so I like to think, born of a certain way of looking at the world."

John Steinbeck's legacy is now synonymous with the Big Sur area. Known as Steinbeck Country, the cities of Monterey, Carmel and Salinas on the northern end of the byway brim with memories of John Steinbeck's legacy.

Our journey for now is almost over as we arrive to the city of Carmel.

Hi Meeko
How was your weekend? We enjoyed an awesome pawsome time! Did you know that today begins Take Your Pet to Work Week? No cat owners in a recent pet industry survey said they took their cats to work, but 3 percent of dog owners did. Silly ole dogs would like work, wouldn’t they?! We are MUCH too smart for that! When I was just a baby, I would visit Mommy’s office often. Everyone there oohed & aahed over cute little me. Now I prefer to stay home. Don’t you agree?

Have a fun day!

Hi Meeko!
I haven't been on much lately, but I just want to update you on Marlin and I.

First off, we both just turned eight years old on Monday. Thank you for all the bday wishes! We got lots of food, treats, a catnip carrot, and Marlin got a new collar and cat grass.

Secondly, my seizure situation has been good. After having seizures on two pills, the vet increased it to three a day, and since I've been taking that, I haven't had any problems. However, the vet thinks that I am beginning to develop a little bit of arthritis (I'm having trouble jumping onto the bed and I stumble a little on the stairs) and may need to take medication for that in the future.

Marlin has had a cyst-type lump on his shoulder for the past couple months. At our annual check-up today, the vet decided it should be removed. She doesn't know if it's dangerous yet, but she did remove it and sent it off to be biopsied at a lab. Marlin now has 18 stitches (it looks like she did a thorough job with the surgery) and is at home doing fine. We're hoping the results come back good, but even if they don't, she was taking the whole lump out so it won't have time to spread if it is bad. He will be going to get the stitches removed in 7-10 days, but for now, he has to have Yuck gel around his incision to keep him from biting at it.

Last of all, two new additions have been added to the family. They are goldfish named Harold and Sheela. Harold unfortunately died after less than a month, but Sheela is still alive. Marlin and I don't bother with her much, though. There was only one time that I decided to go look at her while she was in an alternate bowl during a tank cleaning, but my human stopped me before I could get a fish dinner.

That's all for now. I'll talk to you all soon!- Velcro

Wander With Whiskers – June 17-Hearst Castle
San Luis Obispo to Cambria
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Check out time at the Madonna Inn is later than the usual hotel. But then the Madonna Inn has been anything but usual! We’ll have time for breakfast & a game of tennis on the pink tennis courts, or just relax & stroll the grounds.

Back aboard the Royal Train to continue up the coast of CA. We’ll enjoy brunch as our train glides out of the depot & begins its journey to the town of Cambria. Here we will detrain to the waiting Feline Motor Coaches & head to San Simeon, home of Hearst Castle. If we’re lucky, we might catch an odd glimpse of a herd of zebras grazing alongside the highway. These are descendants of animals brought to California for William R. Hearst’s personal zoo. But don’t worry; they are well cared for by the Hearst Castle grounds men.

William Randolph Hearst, an American newspaper publisher who built the nation’s largest newspaper chain, told architect Julia Morgan that he wanted to built "a little something" on the CA coast. Three decades later, Casa Grande (commonly called Hearst Castle) crowned La Cuesta Encantada, Hearst's "Enchanted Hill" above tiny San Simeon. It's a 165-room Moorish castle with 127 acres of gardens, terraces, pools & walkways, furnished with Spanish & Italian antiques & art, flanked by three large guesthouses. In its heyday, Hearst Castle had a zoo, tennis courts & two magnificent swimming pools.

With a personal collection of ancient art, sculptures, furniture, relics & more, William Randolph Hearst amassed a collection that still rivals museums today, and used almost every square inch of the hilltop California estate to showcase it all.

Today Hearst Castle is a State Historical Monument, and we can all enjoy a glimpse into the Hearst's opulent lifestyle.

We’ll be taking the Hearst Castle Twilight Tour where costumed docents literally bring the Castle to life! Warm lighting & staff in 1930s costumes - women sipping martinis over their card game, reporters typing their days' stories in their bedrooms & lovers strolling the grounds - bring the massive house alive. We’ll wind our way through the Casa Grande’s social rooms, guest accommodations, the Office & Mr. Hearst’s own private Gothic Suite.

Hearst lived & entertained at San Simeon with his long-time girlfriend, actress Marion Davies. Their guests included Hollywood stars, politicians & dignitaries such as Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Charles Lindbergh & Winston Churchill. On the Hearst Castle night tour, as visitors, we can pretend we've received an invitation to come to "the ranch."

Unfortunately, there’s no restaurant at the Hearst Castle. We have snacks onboard the Feline Motor coaches to tide us over until we’re back on the train, where our exceptional fine dining awaits us.

Wander With Whiskers – June 14 –San Luis Obispo
Another Day In San Luis Obispo
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
After a great breakfast at the Madonna Inn, the female kitties all wanted to take a peek at the famous (top ten in the world) tom’s restroom. The girls had heard a trip to San Luis Obispo wouldn’t be complete without visiting the tom’s room at the Madonna Inn! In it, the urinals look like caves with waterfalls, which is activated when you break a beam of light. Yep, that's it!

Walk to Morro Bay -
There’s no better way to spend the day than out on the incredible estuary in beautiful Morro Bay. Strolling the bayfront, fishing, kayaking or simply sitting on the dock…it’s all here waiting for us. Morro Bay, along California’s Central Coast, is among the most visually spectacular communities in America. This is where we will start. It has a rich early history that stretches back to the adventures of the Chumash & Salinian Native Americans & visits by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo & the Manila Galleons of the 16th Century. Here we can see the famous “Morro Rock.” Morro Rock is also sometimes called the “Gibraltar of the Pacific.” It is the last of a line of long-extinct volcanoes formed about 23 million years ago, which include nine peaks ranging from San Luis Obispo to Morro Bay. Morro Rock is a State Historic Landmark, a bird sanctuary & home to nesting Peregrine Falcons. It is therefore closed to any climbing or disturbance.

Now let’s go on a driving tour. Our motor coaches will pick us up at Morro Bay. The uncrowded roads & stunning views in & around San Luis Obispo make for incredible scenic drives. We’ll get a mixture of vineyards, curving mountain roads, and coastal views driving up US 101 & loop back to San Luis Obispo via Highway 1 through cattle pastures & farmland. We’ll travel the scenic back roads into downtown Arroyo Grande. Stroll the historic Village, discover turn-of-the-century Victorians surrounding Santa Manuela Schoolhouse, and cross the suspended swinging bridge — the only one of its kind in California.

Let’s end our day with a visit to some wineries. Wine tasting should be a perfect blend of a great experience & great wine, and that’s just what we’ll get as we enjoy the hand-crafted bottlings of San Luis Obispo’s wine region. The moderate climate of the verdant, sunlit Edna Valley just outside town allows for an extended growing season, which give local wines lush, distinct flavors sure to please any palate. My particular favorite winery is called Talley Vineyard Wines! Enjoy sweeping views of the Rincon Vineyard & the fields of Talley Farms from the tasting room. The vineyard is just minutes away from Lopez Lake, a great place for an evening picnic. An ideal setting for tasting great Pinot Noir & Chardonnay.

Time to head back to The Inn.
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
See pictures on my page. Have a Happy Father’s Day weekend!

Wander With Whiskers – June 13 –San Luis Obispo
Welcome To San Luis Obispo
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
The Feline Castle Train takes us to the charming old city of San Luis Obispo. Founded in 1772, the city boasts numerous historic inns and theaters, and even a rare commercial building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Whether to soak in the ambience or some of the delicious wines produced in nearby Edna Valley, we'll find that San Luis Obispo is a perfect place to end the southern part of our California Coast journey.

San Luis Obispo was named the happiest city in America by author and researcher Dan Buettner. A weekend in this charming and scenic town, situated halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles and nestled in the Santa Lucia Mountain Range, can be whatever you want it to be: a relaxing getaway or a buzz of activity. For serenity, pack a lunch and head north or south to picnic at one of the dozens of picturesque wineries. Head west for great beaches, perfect for a leisurely swim. For a dose of history, visit the birthplace and heart of this quaint town: the beautiful adobe-brick Mission San Luis Obispo. Kittens will revel in the plentiful fun activities, such as the Charles Paddock Zoo & the Morro Bay Aquarium. For a laugh or a gasp, stop in at the outrageously decorated Madonna Inn, where nothing in the garish décor is consistent except for an abundance of the color pink. All are welcome for a peek inside the lobby's men's room for more interior design surprises. Don’t laugh too hard because this is the hotel where we will be staying!

For over 50 years the charm of the Madonna Inn has been one of California’s landmark attractions and this will be our home for a few nights. The Inn offers very unique rooms, each decorated differently to suit many individual tastes...rock rooms, waterfall showers, rock fireplaces, European fixtures, and fine furnishings to name a few. Last year they added horseback riding, two pink tennis courts and a winter ice skating rink. The owner of the Inn said, "Anybody can build one room and a thousand like it. It's more economical. I want visitors to come in with a smile and leave with a smile. It's fun." Aiming to cater to a range of tastes, rooms were given unusual names such as the Love Nest, Old Mill, Kona Rock, Irish Hills, Cloud Nine, Just Heaven, Hearts & Flowers, Rock Bottom, Austrian Suite, Cabin Still, Old World Suite, Caveman Room, Elegance, Daisy Mae, Safari Room, Highway Suite, Jungle Rock, American Home & Bridal Falls to name a few. This should be a lot of fun!

So let’s settle into our rooms & meet for a nice dinner at the Madonna Inn’s Gold Rush Steak House. Tomorrow we’ll explore what San Luis Obispo has to offer.

Wander With Whiskers – June 12–Queen Mary
Aboard the Queen Mary -
^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^^~^~^~^~^
Before we leave, we must tour this fabulous floating hotel. Let’s all grab some pastry from the Starboard Bakery and enjoy our coffee while strolling the Promenade Deck before we begin.

On May 27, 1936, the Queen Mary departed from Southampton, England embarking on her maiden voyage. The Queen Mary had set a new benchmark in transatlantic travel, which the rich and famous considered as the only civilized way to travel. She quickly seized the hearts and imaginations of the public on both sides of the Atlantic, representing the spirit of an era known for its elegance, class and style. The increasing popularity of air travel helped signal the end of an era for the Queen Mary. By 1965 the entire Cunard fleet was operating at a loss and they decided to retire and sell the legendary Queen Mary.

Let’s go on the “Her Finest Hour: A WWII Tour,” for an in-depth look at the role the Queen Mary played in helping the Allied Forces win the Great War. Nicknamed the “Grey Ghost” after receiving a hauntingly stark paint job, the ship’s impressive speed and size made it an ideal troop hauler often carrying as many as 15,000 men in a single voyage.

With such a varied and intriguing past it’s not surprising that the Queen Mary has been voted one of the Top 10 Most Haunted Places in America. In fact, some say the Queen Mary is one of the most haunted places in the world with as many as 150 known spirits lurking upon the ship. Over the past 60 years, the Queen Mary has been the site of at least 49 reported deaths, not to mention having gone through the terrors of war, so it comes as no surprise that spectral spirits of her vivid past continue to walk within her rooms and hallways. Among the ghosts reportedly still hanging around are a sailor who died in the ship's engine room, a "lady in white," and children who drowned in the ship's pool. Other phenomenon occurring throughout the ship, are the sounds of distinct knocks, doors slamming and high pitched squeals, drastic temperature changes, and the aromas of smells long past. These are but a few of the many reports of apparitions and strange events occurring at this luxury liner turned hotel. There’s no doubt the Queen Mary is full of mystery and lore.

Let’s unwind our adventure-filled day with dinner at the Chelsea Chowder House & Bar. There’s nothing better than a juicy steak or fresh fish after a day at sea (or at port). We can watch the sunset and revisit the memories of our exciting stay aboard the legendary Queen Mary.

Can you believe it?
Fluffernut is actually sound asleep...MOL! It's no wonder though considering how wild & crazy she was earlier this morning. No kitty's purrsonal space was sacred & no tail was safe this morning as she pounced on all of us in her quest for a playmate. I gave her 'the look' of total impatience along with a stern warning, Patches hissed & swatted her ears, & our calico cyclone finally got irritated enough at her that she knocked her down & made her yowl...MOL! Once she found out she'd aggravated all of us to the point of possible bodily damage she raced off to explore in the family room & soon was getting very sleepy. If I know Fluffers (which I do all too well...MOL) she'll take a short nap then be back to full energy levels again & wreaking havoc. In the meantime though I'm pouncing by to visit as many of you as I can & warn you that there's a white whirlwind that will soon awaken & you'd better keep watch for her to rumble through!
UH OH...I see her stretching so will lead you to the storm shelter & leave you a vote filled with catnip so you'll have lots of energy to escape from the winds of the Fluffernutter whirlwind!

Purrs,

Hi sweet Meeko
How are you and your family? I like tuna water and hate getting my nails trimmed. Thank you for your cotd congrats. Also thank you for the assorted treats. I'm sorry it's really late. You are a good looking cat. Have a great summer.
Maude
