Meow Like a Pirate Day

Aye me mateys! Welcome aboard the decks of the most fearsome of pirate ships, The Black Furrball. I am your Capt'n, Capt'n Jack Kitten and this be my first of mates, Sir Dante Barbossa and over there be our cabin kitten, Fagin The Kid. Welcome to the second annual Meow Like a Pirate Day adventure. As we get ready to make way to meet up with the most infamous of pirates, Cap'n Nels of the Cat o'Nine Tails and may want to get ready to look as fearsome as any good pirates should be. If ye did not bring ye own gear, we have some extras and you can get your eye patches, swords, and other pirate gear from this little fella. Make sure you know how to swing those blades about, as we plan to board any catnip or stinky goodness ships we may find along the way!!

Alas, ye might have heard tale that our human pirate lady, Red the Purrageous Mom, lost another pirate kitty last night - that magical pirate known on the Seven Seas as Merlyn the Magnificent and that our mission was almost aborted. Have no fear kitties, we thanks you for yer kind words, and Red has decided that Merlyn would want us kitties to pilage and plunder and today, we shall do so, in that kitty's name!! ME' ARRRRR!!!

Oh be ye a woofie, do not fear, Cap'n George of The George is docked right besides us so there be plenty of room for all!

Now sit back and relax, and if you fear your stomach is rumbling loud enough to summon the royal navy and give us pirates away, never ye fear! On the way to port this day we were able to round us up some grub and grog.

As you see we have a seafood extravaganza and below decks we have gastronomical delights the like of which ye have never before seen!! So eat, drink and be merry kitties, and we are off to find our destiny on the open sea. Cap'n Nels, we are on our way!! We shall find glory and treasure!! Now, all together, MEOW LIKE A PIRATE!!! ME'ARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
