For Cap'n Nels - Fagin's Promotion


Alas, it is with a grieving heart that we must convey to you that our pirate brother - Cap'n Nels the Cranky, has left us. He has gone to captain that great pirate ship that sails on the oceans at the Bridge and we are all very sad. But out of everything sad, there is the joyful too.


As you know, the young Cabin Kitten, is up for a promotion. We had been waiting to get a ceremony and a party organized before we had the grand annoucement, but in light of the fact that Fagin first distinguished himself on Meow Like a Pirate Day under the watchful eye of Cap'n Nels, we decided to honor that great Captain's passing by making the annoucement today (we'll have the party later). So, gather round all of you kitties and witness the deed.


We want it known that out of all of the guesses of what young Fagin's new rank would be it was in fact, the Great Captain Nels and the rest of the Meowers who came the closest when they guessed "he'll be the pick-pocket-in-chief?" Yes, and now we have the honour of presenting to you:


Fearless Fagin, the Ferocious Fighting Tabby, Quarter Master and Purser (in charge of all acquistions and riches) of the Black Furrball.

Totally Annoyed Thursday

Captain Jack here. I must tell you kitties, I have not gotten one moment of peace since Fagin heard about his pending promotion. The boy will not leave me alone but keeps pestering me, demanding that I tell him what his rank will be. Just look at these pictures Mommy took!

Here he is trying to sneak up on me, hoping that I will give him some clue. And let me tell you kitties, he is unrelenting in this too. Following me everywhere hoping to learn something. Mommy says he is like a kid waiting on Christmas. Sigh. You kitties would not believe what I put up with!!

Fagin: Tell ME Captain, PUH-LEEZE!!! PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE?!?!?!

Captain Jack: NO! Your promotion, if indeed there is one coming (wink,wink) will only be given when I say so, when the time is right, when the moon is in the right phase and the planets align...

Fagin: MOMMY! Jack is being mean to ME!!

Fagin: Sigh...ME hate waiting. ME wish he would give ME just one hint but he won't and when ME ask Dante he just shrugs and says its up to the Captain but that they are planning a ceremony and maybe a party to celebrate so maybe ME will try to wait. If ME gets presents at the party for ME! And we get to PLAYPLAYPLAY at the party too! ME like parties!!

Here's a hint: Fagin's rank, his new duties on the Black Furrball, has to do with the origin of his name and how the character he was named for made his living and also the way in which he proved himself during the Meow Like a Pirate Day adventures with Cap'n Nels of the Cat o'Nine Tails. Anyone have a guess?
