Aloha, nya! It is November already, and the time seems to have flown quickly like the hypurr drive, nya! As mewsual, the visitors flock to here to purrtake of our purristine Mid-Atlantic beaches, the Meowritime Forest, and the lovely gardens amidst the purrpetual bikini weather, with the blue skies full of puffy Cumulo-Neko clouds, low humidity, gentle breezes, and average tempurratures are in the mid 70’s Farenheit, but of course it is much hotter in the soothing hot spurrings, nyan!

Fortunately here at Catgirl island and the surrounding OBX waters of Mew Hanover County NC, we are blessed with the benevolent magick in the air, land and water that aids in the purropurrgation of the endangered species, whilst warding away storms, pathogens, pollutions, bigotries, and hazardous invasive species, nya!
