Our special menu items this month come from Japan. We have Sushi and Sashimi, of course. We also have Tempura Prawns, Yakitori Chicken, Tamagoyaki, Tonkatsu Pork, Unagi no Kabayaki, and Takoyaki. For dessert, we’re whipping up some Black Sesame Cookies and Matcha ice cream. Do make sure to try them all!

Not feeling up to too much crazy pawtying? Let us know and we’ll find you a great spot on our Taster Blankets where you’ll also find Olive’s Memorial Blanket. They’re set up away from most of the noise but still provide a perfect view of the Circle of Remembrance. Let Taster-Kitchen Liaison Roxi know how everything tastes!

“Ruby and the Kittens” are already getting warmed up ready to dance the night away. They’d love to have you join them as soon as you’re ready to start pawtying! Show them your best moves – they’re always looking for something new to add to their routine.

So find your best outfits and come join the pawty.

Check out our new aprons too! Aren’t they awesome?

Ginger and Jackson are enjoying the party.

Ginger is delighted with the Shrimp in Crunchy Nip Wontons, and checked out thre Pickled Duck Eggs and the Sushi Bar.
They both loved the Tempura Prawns.
Jackson indulged in Bubba's MouseMousse and Leo's Chunky Tuna and Salmokingn Ice Cream with Sardine Sprinkles.
They are topping off their night with Solé's sister Cookie's cod brownies filled with catnip and KitKat’s Duck pate stuffed cupcakes with catnip icing, served at mousie temperature.

Ginger may hang out a little at the Taster Blankets, and Jackson is instructed to stay with her wherever she is. Hopefully Jackson knows when to stop eating tonight.

They can't wait until midnight, when they get to see and visit with J.D.

I'm so glad Ginger and Jackson are enjoying the food. If they feel like having some more later when they're relaxing on the Taster Blankets, Roxi will be very happy to make sure they have everything they need. We'll keep an eye on Jackson, although he's been dancing so much I'm sure he can have a little extra food tonight!

Not long to wait now for the Circle of Remembrance. Of course it's the real purpose of these pawties and we're all eagerly waiting for the moment the kitties at the Bridge come into view. ~Chef Luna

Gather round kitties. It's time for the best part of every Full Moon pawty. It's time for the Circle of Remembrance. On this longest day of the year, making it even more special than usual, we are about to spend time with our beloved GAs. Make sure you have a great spot to see the Bridge pawty everyone. I think I see the Bridge just coming into view now. Soon, our pawty will resume and we will feast and dance until dawn. But now it's time to make the most of these special minutes with our loved ones at the Bridge. ~Chef Luna

Ivan said everything was so yummy, and the strawberry theme made everything so pretty. He spent yesterday recovering from all the dancing, and now today he's already purring about the next party.

Our 7-month-old foster was neutered the same day as the party, and I'm grateful to Roxi for trying to tempt him to stay on the taster blankets at least part of the time. He goes back to the shelter tomorrow, and I hope that he'll be joining the next party from his own furever home!

Chef Luna, I think Felix would be amazed by the innovations in aprons nowadays.

@Dyana Sounds like Jackson has a bit of a sweet tooth ... but I guess I'm not sure those "desserts" are actually sweet.

He just likes to eat. And I try to give him less treats, so he doesn't become diabetic.

I'm so glad Ivan enjoyed the pawty. We're also looking forward to the next one!

We were delighted to welcome your foster to our pawties. He'll have to make sure to let his furever hoomans know that he'll be out every full moon dancing with his new friends. Even though he had to take it a little easy this time around, there will be many more pawties for him to attend.

Chef Luna, I think Felix would be amazed by the innovations in aprons nowadays.

Why thank you! We try our best to find a new design every time
