Toysday with Tama-Chan

Tama-Chan: It would be a grave mistake, dear friends, to assume that motherhood has put a stop to my playing. In fact, #1 tells me that I am more playful than ever now! I am very partial to wand toys with feathers and she has been making sure that I get play time every day!



Of course, this is partly a pedagogical exercise as I do have to teach the kits how to play. Here they are, paying very close attention:


I must say that I am quite pleased with their progress in learning to play. Here is little Bibi-Chan with his banana:


And here are Hime-Chan and Fuku-Chan wrestling inside their tiny duplex condo:


And to the right, little GoGo-Chan discovering the joys of a sibling's tail!


But it seems that their favourite game is still the "feeding scrum"!



PS: #1 asked me to say thank you for all the nice comments about El Tigre yesterday. We are very happy to report that we already have someone interested in adopting him! One of our French blogging friends called us yesterday to say that her sister was very interested. We hope that the deal will be clinched very soon.

  1. What delightful toysday pictures! You all look great! What good news about El Tigre - it's really his year. And good news for us as mom was looking again and again at his picture. That was a close one.

  5. The "feeding scrum" was certainly our favorite game when we were kittens! We are glad you are getting some play time, Tama-Chan, and we are also glad that little El Tigre may have found a forever home.

  6. Wonderful pictures! Playing is a very important part of a cat's life and we can see the kittens are learning from a pro.

    Super news about El Tigre!

  8. > Tama Chan, it 's said you are the best at playing with feathers, and the fastest too, exactly like Tom with the frisbee.

  10. Thanks for your comment on my blog. My Mom think the European law regarding declawing is a good one. Does the law about docking dogs tails mean that cocker spaniels in Europe have long tails? That would be different from what she is accustomed to, having grown up with a series of golden cockers in her family, all with "traditional" docked tails.

  11. So much Aby-kyootness in one post! The kits are all growing so fast!

    We ready your post on El Tigre, too. We hope he has a Forever Home soon, as much as we hope little Gracie will find one. So far, no luck, but Mom will keep trying.

  20. It's simply amazing that #1 is getting anything at all accomplished (even basics like getting out of pajamas in the morning) as I know my Mom would be watching those kittens play all day long. Good thing #1 is more disciplined!

    Your pals,

    Petey and Mica

  22. Kits! Khute! They look very posh in their luminous collars. At the rate their growing, you'd probably have to upgrade to a bungalow soon..

    Great job Tama-chan!

    Cheers,
