"Zombie Kitty" Mail Art From Spain

I received this today from my mail-art friend, Sabela. This is a wonderful and most frightening piece of "Zombie Kitty" mail art! A very scary kitty indeed. Thank you for sending it, Sabela!

Zombie Mini Kawaii!, Helps Out On The Sheep Station

Zombie Mini Kawaii! is certainly having an incredible experience visiting Waitpinga, South Australia. I received some more photos and commentary from vizma (our official Waitpinga correspondent) of Zombie Mini Kawaii! helping out on the sheep station:

"Rounding up sheep on her first day at work. Mini ZKK slipped! Don't get trampled Mini!"

" Zombie in a bit of danger, she could get stomped any minute!"

"Pinka to the rescue to get these 3 rogue rams into the next paddock."

(Who says sheep ranching is not a dangerous occupation? Obviously, Pinka knows better. -Louise)

"Next time you're driving the tractor, Mini!!"

"Now to teach her to spin some of that wool...

now, where did I put that wool?"

Glad to see Zombie Mini Kawaii! being so useful around the sheep station, vizma.

If she learns how to spin that wool, I could loan her out to the local alpaca farms when

she gets back (I'll bet that wool made some lovely yarn once it was spun

  Did ZMK! happnen to mention that I like to knit? No? Oh well...).

A Mini "Mini Kawaii!" Adventure...

And now for a mini adventure from Zombie Mini Kawaii! 
(Photos and commentary by vizma, our corespondent  from Waitpinga, Australia):

"Mini ZKK sat here laughing all day on a birch stool with new friend Sparky Nun. I soon tired of blowing up the whoopie cushion for them."

"Pinka borrowing Mini ZKK's tongue for a photo."

Well, vizma, how many times exactly did Zombie Mini Kawaii! have you blowing up that whoopie cushion? What a naughty kitty! And, it probably didn't help that she had Sparky The Nun egging her on! I'm glad to see that Pinka still has her under control! 


We can't wait to see what the next adventure beholds!

A Little Geography Lesson...If Your Lucky...

O.k. kids! Just so you can keep up with all the places Zombie Kitty Kawaii! and her traveling companion, PhatKat have gone so far, we give you this map:
 

Unfortunately, Google Maps can't calculate the distance from Iowa City, Iowa, USA to  Osijek, Croatia as you can't travel it by car. There's an ocean in between. Too bad. I would have liked to have known.

 However, I can give you the distance traveled between  Osijek, Croatia and Thessaloniki, Greece:

  It is exactly 810 KM and will take you 9 hours and 17 minutes to travel by car (or postal truck, if you are Zombie Kitty Kawaii!). You will also be crossing through multiple countries, as noted by Google Maps. Thank you, Google Maps.

And From Waitpinga, Australia...Another Zombie Mini Kawaii! Adventure!

It's the middle of the afternoon here in Canada, (probably the middle of the night somewhere else) and I'm finally getting the chance to post this next Australian adventure Zombie Mini Kawaii! is on. Unfortunately, my Internet has been down in the mornings as my provider is fixing the lines, so nothing gets done until the afternoons. But, I digress...


...as we have a brand spanking new "Zombie Mini Kawaii!" adventure for you all! Photos and commentary by vizma, ZMK's host Down Under:

"Zombie Mini Kawaii! in the ute ready to take empty bottles to the recycle depot."

" Heading into town I put her on the dashboard with her new Aussie travel mates (it's illegal to sit in the back). From left: Burnt Troll, Footloose Witch, Pol Danzer, Dreadlock Gumby and (partly hidden) Lawn Bowler Cake Decoration Man."

 (What awesome new pals for ZMK! She seems to fit right in with them! -Louise)

"Sending Mail Art! One there for Katerina so she doesn't get too sad about losing ZKK so quickly!"

 "Trying to have a ride on a kangaroo road sign...

  ...and then she ran up a Eucalyptus tree and wouldn't come down. I'll have to get her tomorrow, hope it doesn't rain because she's not laminated."

Oh, Mini Kawaii! "Trouble" is definitely your middle name. Were you looking to find a koala to befriend? Well, at least you helped vizma take the empties to the recycling depot (my guess being that many of them were Mini Kawaii!s). Until  your next adventure...

The Continuing Adventures Of Zombie Kitty Kawaii! And PhatKat In Greece...

...the Tour of Thessaloniki, as given by "MomKaterina". Photos and commentary by "MomKaterina". Read on:

"Zombie Kitty Kawaii and Phat Kat take a stroll in the northern city of Greece: Thessaloniki, that's MomKat's home town."

 "It was a beautiful day, (not grey like Athens) Greek blue sky and the deep blue Aegean sea. It was COLD...but sunny! Here is Zombie kitty at he seafront, this is the upper northern part of the Aegean Sea: Themaikos Gulf."

" Famous landmark in Thessaloniki is the White tower on the seafront. It is from the remains of the sea walls made in the Middle Ages. Thessaloniki has many monuments from the 12-14 c A.D. Look, not a cloud in that Greek blue sky!!!"

" Zombie Kitty and PhatKat passed by the modern OTE Tower, that is the telephone and telecommunications tower with a revolving cafe atop."

 "Thessaloniki is named after Alexander the Great's sister, and here is Zombie Kitty and PhatKat checking out a statue of King Philip of Macedon, the father of Alexander and Thessaloniki."
( I did not know that! See, you learn something new everyday! Thanks, MomKat! -Louise)

Now a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki...

"At the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, Zombie Kitty sees that there is an exhibit of Ancient Macedonian art...and Zombie Kitty knows that Macedonia is Greek ...since prehistoric times!"

"Of coure the "kats" are not allowed inside the museum, but there are some marble sculptures outside..sooooo photos could be taken."

Zombie Kitty liked the sculptures.

and PhatKat liked the end scene with the warrior and the Amazons

Now after taking in all the sights, it was time for a break.

PhatKat wanted pizza, of course (see where it is written:"Thessaloniki"?).

But, Zombie Kitty said let's get some hot choco instead; it was freezing out!

Soooo, hot choco with lots of whipped cream atop...

and  a choco cupcake for ALL the kats! yummy!

 (O.k. MomKat! You've got me really hungry now! I could eat my computer screen. -Louise)


"Back in MomKat's neighborhood, Zombie Kitty and PhatKat want to meet up with the local kits and kats. Unfortunately, it is soooo cold outside, that most of the cats are down in the apartment building's basement next to the central heating furnance keeping warm."

 "Only MomKat cat and Whitey came out to say "hi", er, "kalimera" to Zombie Kitty and PhatKat."

 "MomKat, the leader of the gang, was curious to see what these foreigners were made of!"
(She was probably pretty surprised to find out that they were made of bristol board :-) -Louise)

"And before Zombie Kitty and Phat Kat went inside, Ben-the-Ben said "hello". He was smiling today, as there was garbage pick-up and he was nice and clean!"

Luckily, NOT overflowing with garbage!

"Now Zombie Kitty and PhatKat helped sort all the mail art that arrived when we returned from Athens. They were so nice to do that! "

"Zombie Kitty and PhatKat had a fun time here, but they are packed-up-and-shipped-out. In the mail this noon time, and I think they are really eager to get to PARIS!" (on the way to Dean.)

So, off to France they go! I am sure there are many plans and adventures in store for these two travelers of the Postal Systems of the World! Many thanks again, MomKaterina, for having them visit you in Greece!  Thhppt!
