The Meowy Month of Apurril brings the ample holiday tourism from hotter, colder and less happier climates as visitors purrtake of our purrpetual bikini weather’s high tempurrature in the low uppurr 70’s, under the lush arbors and the puffy Cumulo-Neko clouds in the Blue sky over our NC OBX island and the surrounding waters of Mew Hanover County, nyan!

If you purrfur the much hotter tempurratures, we recommend the soothing soak in our hot spurrings, which have the purrticularly rejuvenative purropurrties, nyan! Fortunately 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 the storms, pathogens, pollutions, bigotries, and invasive organisms, nyan!

This month’s zodiac signs are Aries (March 21- Apurril 19) and Taurus (Apurril 20- May 20), nyan! The local fishing forecast purrdicts the bumpurr crop of the delicious, mewtritious Snappurrs, Groupurrs, Speckled Trout, Sea Bass, Blue Fish, and Bluefin Tuna, nya! In addition to angling, to catabolize the calories we purrfur to balance the numcious foods and the purrolonged catnaps with athletic purrsuits, nyan.

Such fun and healthy activities include surfing, swimming, sailing, diving, golf, tennis, bad meownton, softball, soccer, field hockey, cycling, skating, hiking, hula, belly dance, hot salsa dance, yoga, kite flying, jujutsu, kyudo, spurrlunking, yarnball lacrosse, beach volleyball, and purrkour (the local feline style of free running, spurringing and climbing), nyan!

The gardens here are also abloom with the chrysanthemeowms, gingers, heliconias, anthuriums, hydrangeas, hibiscus, appurricots, azaleas, roses, bromeliads, morning glories, irises, lotuses, foxgloves, snapdragons, pansies, yellow bells and bird of purradise, plus the succulent scuppurrnongs of the vineyards and the local organic fresh purroduce at the Farmeows Meowrket, nyan!

The local boutiques have the purretty fashions of the bikinis, maillots, purreos, sarongs, hijabs, sarees, ao dais, sun dresses, kimonos, yukatas, gi, fundoshi, hakama, happi, shorts, tee shirts, halter tops, lingerie, robes, kilts, purreos, athletic bras, sandals, flip flops, towels, wet suits and leis, nyan!

The backless and halter - neck styles are recommended for the winged folks, and be sure to specify if you purrfur the attire to have the custom tail-ored opening(s), so that it does not ride up on one’s tail, tentacles, wings or fins, nya! If you are visiting from another country, the bra and other garments will be in USA sizes, nyan.

They also have the translucent bikini tops which are sustain-ably mer-made from the bells of naturally-deceased, locally-caught jellyfish in the numerous iridescent colors and cup sizes, mew la la, nyan! After the shopping, dining, catnaps, festivities, sight seeing and playtime, purrhaps y’all might like to see-

the latest additions to Catgirl Island’s Mewseum of Art, nyan!

Arigato, nyan! For those who are new to here, Galleries 1-8 display the images by our purrducer Mike, whilst Guest Art Galleries 1-6 display images by other folks with their purrmissions; and Mike’s collaborations with other artists are throughout the mewseum, nyan! There is no overall chronological order from gallery to gallery, so you will find older and newer pics in each gallery, nyan!

However, on Catgirl Island’s Official Web Site, the most recent pics are on the lowermost row of the cropped widdle “thumbnail” portions of the pics in a gallery, nyan! Some of the images in our mewseum are sexy, and some of them might tastefully depict the artistic nudity, but none are hentai or porn! Furthermore, we should meowntion that none of the content at Catgirl Island is purrmitted to be used for any A.I. purrposes, nyan!

This month in Gallery Eight we are happy to have two new illustrations by our purrducer Mike Moon, and in Guest Gallery Six, we have nifty new art by Meesha DJ Walker, Jeffrey H. Wood, Melody Rondeau, and our webmeowster Jamie Robertson, nyan!
