This is my secret hideaway and only my best friends know about it. The room was built especially to house my awards, prizes, crown collection, and special momentos.

At present, I have four crowns. The first was given to me by Dobbin and Midnight.    Even though I realize that the stones are artificial, this tiny crown has an intrinsic value.

I found my second crown while touring the dungeon of Queen Bitsy's castle. It has jewels that match my sapphire blue eyes! In addition to the crown, Queen Bitsy also gave me a chest in which to place my treasures.

I have been concerned with security ever since Bogey moved in with us. I believe that she is still attempting to put a hex on me! My good friend Cleo Fratt sent me a miter which I use to protect myself from my nemesis. She also gave me an "everyday" crown and a safe which provides an extra measure of security.

I won this beautiful artifact by finding all the hidden objects in Cleocatra's Pyramid:

This was my favorite event at the Halloween party given by the Back Fence Cat Club in 1997. I wonder if it will fit in the safe.

How strange . . . I'm sure I didn't leave it open! I wonder if Bogey has been sneaking into my sanctuary. I don't believe anything is missing, but I must remember to be more careful in the future. First the thefts in Queen Bitsy's castle ... then the disappearance of Pharoah Cleocatra's crown. Even though everything was found, a thief could be lurking anywhere!

The BFCC Halloween Parties are always exciting! My siblings and I enjoy participating in the events, especially "Trick or Treat Around the Internet." In 1998, I received this darling little fish as a gift when I completed The Amazing Maze. After completing a test, I earned another reward!

  

I entered the Mask/Hat division of the 1998 BFCC/CLAW Costume Contest. I wore a mask and veil which I constructed from used materials and some jewels. When Henry & Freya told me that I won first prize, I thought a mistake had been made. All the other contestants deserved a prize more than I did. Even so, I'll proudly display my award:

The correspondence course I completed at Mr. Frass's School of Feline Ninja Warriors helps me cope with Bogey and the problems she creates. After completing each lesson, students are rewarded with a mouse. I have completed the four required lessons: "Altitude and Meditation," "Self Defense and Invisibility, "Insanity and Speed, and "Wisely Choosing Your Opponent."

        

Attaining invisibility is particularly useful during stressful situations. Mastering this art increased my confidance and my sense of security.
 

Tucker B. Smith, of The Tucker Bunch, sent me this lovely card on my 12th birthday.

Little did I dream that Tucker would eventually ask me to be his wink wink! He sent me this romantic proposal on 11/22/99. I, of course, accepted immediately! Our wedwink took place on Valentine's Day, 2000.

Tucker was one of the April 1999 BFCC Pin Ups. I saved this poster so I could hang it in this room. Tucker is also a Ninja and a member of CLAW. He is also a member of the Older Cats Society and a participant in the Adopt-a-GrandKitty program. Tucker is a very good dancer, too!

Tucker and his family were all Claw Thespians and they performed in several plays at CLAW Theater. We were all in the production of Peter Pan, which opened in November 1, 2000.

 

Tucker and I entered the 1999 BFCC/CLAW Costume Contest as "The Masks of Drama" to demonstrate our mutual interest in Theater.

We enjoyed participating in this event and seeing the creative costumes worn by our fellow CLAW/BFCC members. Tucker's sister Smokey and her wink-wink, Shelby, were voted "Best Looking Couple." They looked very glamourous in their Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire attire. One of my GrandKits, Brother Oswin, won the "Most Dreadful" award for his original bat costume.

I think my Inner Sanctum is the safest place for my CLAW crown when I'm not wearing it. If you polish my crown, you'll be transported to my CLAW Page.
