Marvellous Monday - Together Again!


Sei-Chan:
Hi everyone! I know it's Monday and thus supposedly full of manliness, but we have decided to go with the "Marvellous" theme today as we are celebrating #1's return last night. She made it home around 9:30pm, 22 hours after leaving her friend's flat in Tokyo! She says she got to see three movies and read a book on the plane but that it was still long and tedious.... Tommy, Mr. S and Ms. L went to meet her at the station in Le Mans, and we kitties were all gathered at the door for her arrival home!

She has yet to unpack properly but one of the things she brought back with her is some "Matatabi" spray (that's the Japanese equivalent to catnip and we just love it). So after she sprayed some of our toys, Tama-Chan and I had a bit of a 'Tabi-Fest!


But I was ready to resume my post on her in bed as soon as she got in!


First thing this morning, Tommy was ready with his Frisbee!


Apparently, he has done a bit of a job chewing on it whilst she was gone so it's not flying true anymore, and #1 has promised to break open a new one!

Tama-Chan found a wonderful sun-puddle in which to have a grateful nap:


And Bibi, being the helpful boy he is (Ha!) was there to assist #1 with the removal of the sheets after Mr. S and Ms. L left (sniff...). They really were wonderful to us and we hope they will come back!


#1 says she has one parting shot of Japan for you. She was delighted to be able to take this photo of stunning Mount Fuji from the plane shortly after take-off:

  3. Hooray! Welcome home #1! 22 hours sounds like a very long day, it must have been good to get home after that.

    The kittens that you visited were so adorable!

  4. Yay, #1 is home! We know you must all be very happy.

    The photo of Fujiyama is great! Mom had a teacher in 5th grade who taught her class all about the sacred mountain. It's amazing.

  10. Mount Fuji looks like in a painting! Very beautiful! We are so glad your #1 is back home with you. 22h of trevelling are tedious indeed, so make sure that she relaxes properly with the festive days ahead.
    Many purrs!

  11. You all must have been so thrilled when #1 came home! And how fun that she brought home the Matatabi spray (although I suspect it was a little bit of a bribe in case anyone was mad that she was gone). That photo of Mt. Fuji is awesome!

  12. 22 hours travelling? And no kitties to cuddle the whole time? That's just cruel!

    Mount Fuji looks like a fairytale, rising above the clouds.

  17. What an awesome photo of Mount Fuji - especially given that it was taken from the plane!

    We know how happy all of you must be to have #1 back home - now sit on her so she doesn't go away for a long time, at least not until after the holidays:)
