Sammy Come Fly with US



We thought Sammy, One Spoiled Cat, would enjoy visiting the Pascagoula River Audubon Center in Moss Point, MS on Rhodes Bayou, which drains into the Escatawpa and Pascagoula Rivers. It is about 30 minutes from our house. We all hopped in Sammy's hot air balloon and headed to the Audubon Center.

They use permeable gravel-pave parking and driving surfaces. It looks attractive, it's easy to walk on and it's good for the environment. We would love to have that in our driveway. The Mom arranged for us to go on a Kayaking Tour of the Bayou. While we are waiting for everyone to get here we thought Sammy might enjoy taking a gander in the Moss Point Fine Art Gallery.



The gallery focuses on nature based, two dimensional work that highlights flora and fauna or nature themes. Coastal Mississippi is home to a vast array of talented painters and photographers, so there is always something terrific to see. We try to stop in every time we visit.


We decided to let our Daddy launch his kayak first.

They have a very nice launch here, it is very easy to get in and out without getting wet.

Then our group set off to do some exploring.

Alas our photographer otherwise known as Mommy didn't take many pictures as she was afraid of dropping the camera.

She did manage to get a picture of this though....................................................

Yes, it's an alligator, there seemed to be a good many of them about.

They timed the kayak tour to end with the sun setting over the bayou. It was very beautiful.

Kayaking is very hungry work so we thought we better take Sammy out to eat. We headed to  Anthony's Under the Oaks.

It is on our way home and overlooks Fort Bayou.  Now that we have full tummy's we are very tired kittys and doggies so we invited Sammy to have a slumber party at our house.  He accepted so you will find all us cats sacked out in Mommy's bed. The doggies are hogging the dining room. Feel free to join us catching some Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzs. ~ATCAD

Before we go we want to take a moment to remember Easy. He was a true friend to all in blogville. Always ready to lend a paw when someone needed help or cheering up. In fact it was Easy that dreamed up this blog hop to cheer his pal Sammy up.

Easy we are going to miss you so much. Paws of comfort and purrs of sympathy to your family.

Sammy must have loved to visit. These are sad bittersweet days and I feel sad to miss blog hopping over to you lately and send extra headbonks to all. Our kitties especially our new boy is requiring extra cat care.
