Wednesday Wonderland

 

Benny: A few people have expressed some curiosity about our Christmas tree, so we decided to dedicate an entire post to it and our individual decorations. The tree is sourced locally and grown in a neighbouring farm.

Let's start with the tree:

As someone suggested, every decoration has its own story. And #1 likes to buy something new each year. She also makes sure that all of us have our own decorations. Needless to say, the first one to go on the tree this year was Tama-Chan's. She has had it since the year when she climbed the tree as a kitten.

Ryū also got his own decoration when he arrived:

Ollie has two of them!

Mine is in Spanish for some reason!

Here is Momo's:

We have two of these, one for each of the Vs:

And here is Heloise's (shared by Philomena):

And here is one of the new decorations for this year. Remember that #1 visited the Kelpies in Scotland back in July?

#1 also managed to get photos of us kitties admiring the tree (you saw Queen Tama's on Tuesday).

To close, I want to tell you about a very special ornament dedicated to me. It doesn't go on the tree because it's big, so it hangs from the ceiling. Isn't it great?

We do have another, much smaller, tree made of horseshoes by a good friend in the UK who is a farrier. It only has horse-related ornaments on it. We haven't put it up yet, but will share it once it's in place.

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Hello, everyone, and a warm welcome to all of you. Our Christmas tree is up and #1 even managed to get a photo of me in front of it!

A promise is a promise, right? I promised you last week that I would ask #1 to look for photos of me climbing the tree when I was a kitten. I am happy to say that she came through, so here are the pics:

Oh to be that young and lithe again!

Still, I cannot complain. Life is good forme at the moment. I continue to demand my regular meals:

I also help #1 with her meals when I can:

And I assist with any computer work that needs doing:

I attend to my bathing:

And I do, really do, enjoy my heated bed!

Manly Monday with Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Welcome to a whole new week! I hope you had a good weekend and are all set for the run-up to Christmas! I have some good pics to share with you today, so let's go!

You know the expression "The cat's in the bag", right? Well, Benny would like to demonstrate:

I, on the other paw, prefer being "boxed in"!

As for little dragon Ryū, he's been having an existentialist crisis...

As has Ollie!

As you can see, there's never a dull moment at Poupounette Central!

Away from all the madness, The Big V waits for his apples and carrots!

Have a great week, everyone! Have you done all your Christmas shopping?

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: It's mid-December already, whatever that means, and our Christmas tree is up. So far, the boys have been pretty good about it but who knows how long that will last? Let me get right into our SoS post, and see what I have for you in terms of photos to share.

I think I'll start with this one of Benny enjoying Ms. N's lap when they came over to help #1 put up the Christmas tree. There was tea and cake afterwards!

Of course, I too got my share of snuggles from Ms. N. I think a certain someone was a tad jealous...

But Ryū does get to snuggle with #1 in bed every single day!

My very best snuggles, of course, are the ones with #1:

To close, here is a morning snuggle scene with Momo, Benny and a bit of Ollie:

I'm sorry that this week's post is a bit sparse. #1 has been juggling work with trying to get Christmas mailings organised, plus the weather has been very grey which is not optimum for photo-taking. We will try to do better next week!

Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

 

Rainbow Sei: Hello Everyone! It's us, the Rainbow Gang! It has been an absolute age since we posted and  I told #1 that we really needed to say hello to all of our friends. So, we went through the old photo albums, and chose some nice pics for you. Most of the pics are from December 2015, except for Sen and Yuu who sadly had left long before then. So, without further ado, here we go!

I'll start with the pics from 2015, with me first!

Next is Da Beebs:

Tommy and his ball!

The lovely Hotesse:

Handsome Genji:

And gorgeous Trav:

We also have Yuu-Chan from 2009:

And baby Sen-Chan from 2008, with his Bunny. He loved Bunny so much that #1 buried him with Sen-Chan.

And, as a bonus, here is #1 back in December 2007 with a baby Tommy and his "auntie" Madrac.

I hope that we will be back over the festive season with some nice Christmas souvenir photos.

Fluffy Friday!

 

Momo-Chan: Did you guess? Did you guess it would be ME? I always host the Manly Monday post but I share that with all my bros. So #1 told me I could have a post all of my own today! Isn't that exciting?

#1 has been watching a series called The Last Frontier on Apple TV and the other night, she said she got a double bill!

She can be a little intrusive at times. I mean, who needs a picture of me having a bath, or even two?

She says my floofiness is totally irresistible. It can be hard to be a Fluff Puff!

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: Mee-YOW everyone! Benny The Black here. Today, I am thankful for my wonderful home and my equally wonderful siblings, in particular my woofie bro, Ollie:
