Hi everybody!
Dis me, Commander Timbit, with important news about Bitty Space Program. I was watching the television with mama when I learned that yesterday some astronauts crash-landed on takeoff from a place called Catzakhstan. I remember that crashing hurt, so I feel bads for them. We not gonna do that again.
But then my favourite hero Commander Chris Hadfield was on the TV, and he was talking about the dudes who are up on ISS, and he says they are stuck there! Floating in space indefinitely until Russians fix their space ship, cuz right now there’s is only space ship that can dock to ISS is the Soyuz thing.
Well that is a challenge if I ever heard one! I think Commander Hadfield was telling me that we need to prepare ship for rescue mission!
Me with Momo are going to talk about making some alterations in current space ship so all of us can go up there and rescue them. We be heroes! We gots to be stealth though – sneaky – so human people don’t get feelings hurt that they couldn’t figure out how to save the day when we smartest kittens can.
Ok, all agree?
Meanwhiles, we need a name for spaceship. We decide we will let anybody post comments with name ideas. Then we will pick favourites and have vote. Good? Post here or on Fuzzybum page.
We going to be very busy if mama gets her act together. We have still applications to finish, cuz we can’t go with half crew, and then we needs to fix up ship.
So, all crew members, today we go to Defcon 4. Please prepare and be alert for further orders.
Commander Timbit
PS – Picture is of me practicing driving capsule safely back to earth. Trying my small space seat.
To read about Timmy, check out his ID…
Opal and Goldie here….we are suited up and standing by!
If anyone can save the catronauts, it’s The Fuzzy Bums! Timmy, you get everyone going!
I think the spaceship should be called Felinenomenal 1 – like in phenomenal but for cats! That would be pawesome!
Lets wish the guys in the ISS the best and hope someone can get up there to help them soon.
Chewie and Princess is standing by. Princess is practicing her flying we will post on Fuzzy Bums page so you can appreciate her skillz
Luna here, Judy is still on sick-leave, hoping she gets to see the V-E-T within the month, and I am glad its not me! I been practicing manual solar panel charging by massive zoomies.
Instead of Sputnik, how about Catnik?
How about the SS Fuzzy Intervention? You go guys! Get up there on that rescue mission!
Lily L here – all ready for intergalactic communication if needed! If not needed Iz cheerleader!!
Spock and Amelia also standing by. Right now we have excellent launch conditions here on Camano Island, WA. Amelia practices scrunching up in tight dark spots every night, and gives Spock lots of reasons to practice his diplomacy skills. We think the spaceship should be called Bitty 1 (and then newer and better versions can be numbered successively.) Hoping the ISS crew has lots of gushies and cookies in storage to keep them going until they are rescued!
Our Meowmy is going to see a movie today that’s about humans going to the moon. We’ve asked her to watch for tips, though it’s doubtful we can learn much from humans.
iz Doe~ai haz been resting up for sumfink as speshul az dis~if not needed, ai will joinz Lily L and be cheerleader too!!
Isabella here. Ready to test all methods of Human Propulsion, like laying on the top stair at night, and weaving through Mommy’s feet, when she’s rushing to the powder room first thing in the morning! Lots of free energy there to save on rocket fuel! Iz thinkin of names for da ship – I have to thinkin more.
I ready too Commander Timbit. We no want them to stay in space forever.
Biscuit here. While I waitz for ‘signment, I volateer new li’l brudder Georgie as passager on test flite. He be good subject….will ‘noy spaceship into workingz……has new teef, can chew on anyzing dat need fixing.
My Dear Commander:
I stand ready to supervise this critical rescue mission.
Since I will be unable to employ my usual method of running across your faces to wake you in the morning, I will begin each day by playing Cmdr Hadfield’s cover of “Space Oddity” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaOC9danxNo) in honor of your hero.
The human loves Star Trek, so in keeping with the naming protocols of the Happy Forest, she suggests we call the ship Enterpurrise. She says my suggested name, which celebrates the fierce and brave history of our species, is “too long”: “She-who-slays-dragonflies-in-the-laundry-room-at-three-a.m.”
The human is not too bright, but I can’t reach the kibble on my own.
Regards,
Jenny
Mitzi and Luna here and were ready and have been practising our duties. Let’s name our catship Caterprise, like the Starfleet Enterprise!
Flight attendant Bobbi is ready to go. If she can get mommy through Hurricane Michael in Tallahassee, FL, she can go or do anything.
Sasha is on stand by…ready to go. I has been preparing for months to go. Let’s me know when.
Riska is ready to go. Hanna asks if there will be photographers. Saratoga wants everybody to know that the accident would never have happened on her watch because explosions are NOT SAFE.
I made myself laugh by imagining a Timmy Ho-themed rocket called the Maple Dip, but I am all the way behind Enterpurrise.
Okay, 99%. Because I have to give 1% to the Space Shuttle Catlantis.
How about “The Nano”? He was a rescuer of many, too.
You have our full support!
I like that the Enterpurrise !
How about the ‘Canada 150’ Shuttle like their litter name?
Perfect Jen…
Great idea Jen
