I was very jet lagged
from my flight so I
went to bed as soon as
I arrived. Thoughtfully
somebody had put
a cuddly mouse
there for comfort.
I am a mail art project by Louise Kiner, a Canadian
artist, who sent me on a trip round the world .
My first port of call was the United Queendom where I
was the guest of Her Majesty Queen Martha the First.
These are the highlights of my trip. The photos
were taken by either MailArtMartha or her lovely
assistant, John, but the captions are in all in my own
words. Really. The rumours that MailArtMartha wrote
them are a complete fabrication.

Retailia, July 2012
We went out for
the day. Summer
here is very cold.
Brrrrr!
Somebody made ascarecrow lookinglike the Queen .The cheek!
We visited a country
park. The weather
improved and I could
play in the sun.
It was easy toget up here butlooking down itwas SCARY!
I think I deserved
this treat after all
the exercise
I did.
Cuddling in front of theradiator, Julian shareda catmint-filled bananawith the monkey and me.
WOW! I had neverdone drugs before!
At last able to do
what cats like best;
sleep in the sun!
From left to right the
Prince Consort, the
Queen, myself and Dean
Marks, le Marquis de
Bananas, who is trying
to eat me.
Not very politethese Retailianbirds; they didn’tstop to say
Oh! What fright!
I used to ride on the Shopping
Trolley Gallery when it wasn’t
raining or windy, which was
not very often.
Well, I did, until disaster
struck.
It was interest
ing to see how
the artwork was
mounted on the
STG. So many fan
tastic art
pieces. When I g
et back home I will
take up
Mail Art, it is very re
warding and I
of course
I will be great
at it.
I was very sad and the next day I laida flower on the site of the tragedy.Don’t you think that black suitsme?
One day the Gallerycaught fire!I risked one of myundeaths and managedto save all the art,though.
This was the article that appeared in the national press,A week later and not enough about ME!
Last Friday the Shopping Trolley Gallerywent up in flames to the shock of its ownerMailArtMartha and all her friends, who sentmessages of sympathy as soon as they heardthe news. Fortunately a courageous bystand-er, Zombie Kitty Kawaii, salvaged the inval-uable artwork. The STG was not so lucky asit burnt to cinders. The police said that theattack is similar to another committed a fewmonths ago in Paris, France, by le Marquisde Bananas, when a zombie was burnt un-dead. Retailians are advised to lock up theirzombies as the perpetrator is still at large.
The rescuer
The prime suspect
They surely like
zombies here. They
even have a statue
of a human one by
some local artist.
One day we visitedLondon, Retailia, notto be confused withany other London. Itravelled in the BagGallery, very cosy.
By the end of my
stay the Retailian
Olympic games were
about to start and I
got to carry the
torch. Everybody
was looking at me!
I won the Olympic gold
medal in the Cute Zombie
Cat Egory. Here I am on
the podium with Felix, who
got silver and Puss in
Boots, who got the bronze.
I didn’t know those two
had also turned into
zombies.
Everybody had great fun during my stay in Retailia,they are going to miss me badly. Well, it can’t behelped. Lots more of my fans are waiting eagerly for me.
