MANLY MANLY - MEET THE MIGHTY!


Yuu-Chan:
I get to go first on the Manly Monday post today because #1 says I have now proved myself, earned my "stripes" (what?) as a Mighty Hunter. Behold the evidence:


Yep. That was me. I caught the mousie! It was a bit of an accident, actually. #1 unwittingly locked me up in our small cellar room for a few hours after I slipped in there unnoticed when the door was opened. I was bored and there was the mousie...

Having achieved such a feat, #1 told me I could have my very own throne:


... although I have to say I almost prefer #1's bed!


I am, after all, a lover at heart!

Bibi-Chan: I have a new portrait I quite like. I think it makes me look pretty manly!


Of course my brother Yuu-Chan is still quite a bit taller then me, giving him an unfair advantage when we wrestle.


And so, I have been concentrating on one of the activities which contribute most to my growing big and strong: sleeping!



Tom: There has been a lot of dew in the fields in the early mornings, so #1 has gone wild taking "wet and wild" shots of me!

Here is an "ear flicked back" dashing pose:


And a "soulful-eyed Tommy" pose


And then there is the "find the Tommy" pose:


HAPPY MONDAY everyone!

  5. I caught a mousie once in the basement, then I brought him upstairs and let him free. Mom was not very happy.

    Tom, that ear-flicked=back pose is so very manly!

    Bibi, I predict you will catch up to Yuu and surpass him size-wise.

  6. Yuu-Chan we are in awe of your mousie catching abilities. I've never caught a real one myself, only toy mousies.

    Pee Ess...we love our Grete very much. She loves me so much that she insists on taking the blame for anything I do...just to protect me. I'm her favorite.

  8. Rat catchers are my heros and mouse-catchers qualify too. I have tried really hard to catch them, but to no avail.
    Sending lotsalicks to Tommy too. Looks like he's having enormous fun!

  12. Wow. That was an impressive thing you did Yuu-chan, on catching that mousie! Our manly(?) brother Kenji has never achieved such a thing!

    We love all the photos, especially Tom's ear flicked back! It takes a special kind of woofie ears to achieve that!

  31. Way to go with the mousie Yuu-chan!

  32. You guys are just so photogenic...looking at your pictures makes our hearts sing (well, maybe not that first photo of the dead mousie...poor thing!). We like the throne shot and the find the Tommy shot...but they are all great!! And yes, I agree with Yu-chan that the best sleeping place is in the bed and under the covers (where I would always be if it was up to me!!...well, maybe eating and in bed...haha!). What a great life you guys have. How's the weather down there? Getting any warmer? Yesterday was nice here, but today is icky again. Grrr. Purrs, Lautrec and Tiny
