Meet the newest members of Captain Krusty’s Kat Krewe: **Misty and Opy**.

Misty is the gray lady of the operation—a full-time pirate kat and part-time Saintsation. Opy is the little yellow bruiser—a full-time deck-raiding mutineer and part-time Saints running back.

They have already staged their first official takeover.

The kittens are **kittenapping Captain Krusty** and dragging him to the Saints’ first preseason game this Saturday, August 15. Apparently, attendance is mandatory, objections will be ignored, and Captain Krusty’s authority has once again been reduced to “guy who drives the kittens places.”

As a result of this tiny black-and-gold mutiny, **Southern Cross will be closed Saturday, August 15.**

The good news? The online store will remain open and completely unsupervised while the Captain is gone. Shop the ship’s stores here:

Captain Krusty apologizes for the inconvenience. Misty and Opy do not.

**WHO DAT, ye scurvy deckhands!**

🏴‍☠️ THE QUARTERMASTER HAS ANNOUNCED A TEMPORARY DEPARTURE FROM THE YARD 🏴‍☠️

Aye, ye scurvy lot —

The Quartermaster has assessed the situation and determined that TODAY...

is the one day even a pirate answers to a higher authority. 🐱‍👤

⚓ MAMA SCURVY. ⚓

I have commandeered the black vessel, loaded the plunder, and I am TEARING OUT OF THIS DRIVEWAY at full sail. 🐱💨🚗💨

The kittens tried to stow away in the back seat.

I counted them out.

I counted them back in.

I left anyway. 😤

Pepper tried to tell me the route I was taking was wrong.

She was correct.

I am not acknowledging this. 🙄

Captain Krusty waved goodbye from the office window.

He looked relieved.

SUSPICIOUS. 👀

But TODAY is not about the yard.

TODAY is not about the mutiny.

TODAY is not even about who really runs this operation.

(It is me. It has always been me.) 💪🏴‍☠️

TODAY is about the finest pirate who ever sailed these waters —

The one who taught me everything I know about chaos, confidence, and claiming what is rightfully mine. 🐾

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY from the Quartermaster of Chaos. ⚓🌸🏴‍☠️

To every mum on the Gulf Coast and beyond —

You are the real captains.

Don't tell Krusty I said that. 🤫

— Scurvy
*Quartermaster of Chaos*
*Currently doing 90 on the causeway*
*Do not tell Pepper* 🚗💨
