Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Hello Everyone! Fluff-Puff waving paws at you! We have been having some lovely sunpuddly days, but it's still quite chilly.  I have a full set of manly photos for you today and shall start with our resident acrocat, Dragon Ryū. That boy really loves being up high!

Benny The Black, on the other paw, has a distinct preference for soft and snuggly places to nap!

As you know, Benny is a great book lover, and can often be seen sitting on piles off them. #1 caught this fun shot of me watching him do that!

Our giant forsythia is in full bloom, and Ollie looked really good sitting in front of it:

And out in the countryside, the blackthorn bushes are in full bloom and look lovely!

As for me, well #1 got this one of me the other evening. She says I look like an absolute divo! I say that this is life as it should be lived!

In conclusion, The Big V would like you to know that he is enjoying life in his new field!

Wishing you all a lovely week!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny The Black: Hello everyone! We're a bit late posting today. Ollie and #1 went on a long walk and dawdled along the way. But I have a great array of snuggle pics for you, so sit back and enjoy. We shall start with some lovely pics that Mr. G took of me and my Ollie last Friday:

#1 got this nice shot of the two of us with Mr. G:

And then Ms. N got a shot of us three plus #1!

Mr. G also managed to get a pic of #1 snuggling with wriggly Ryū:

And #1 just about caught him with Mr. G!

Back to me, this time with Mr. G and Ms. N:

Momo did a complete disappearing act whilst they were here and only appeared as a white streak when they were leaving. So here is the photo we have of him...

#1 did manage to get a couple of nice selfies with Miss Violette!

I hope you've enjoyed my selection for this week. Have a great Sunday!

Sei-Chan's Souvenir SEIturday

 

Rainbow Sei: Hello, Dear Friends. Some of you may remember SEIturdays. They were my day of the week when I was at Poupounette Central and I loved telling you all about my week. This month marks eight whole years since I arrived at the Bridge, and #1 thought it would be nice if we shared some photos from my last couple of years with the Gang. I hope you don't mind that it's just me today!

Feline Friday

 

Benny: Hello everyone. Benny The Black here to host our Friday offering of fine felines. Let me start with the smallest one among us, Dragon Ryū. He is looking quite laid back in this photo:

He is in more typical mode here, trying to catch sight of what the birdies outside were up to:

Next is me and I quite enjoy hanging out with the horsey on top of the dryer:

When I'm not busy keeping #1's books warm!

As for Momo, well you can imagine that keeping those silky white furs pristine is a big job!

Tama-Chan Thursday - The Rainbow Queen

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Greetings, Dear Friends! I hope that all of you in the northern hemisphere are beginning to see signs of spring. #1 tells me that there are some lovely flowers in the garden but the nights are still chilly. Of course, here at The Bridge, the weather is lovely all the time. Anyway, back to business. And it's a new decade for my reminiscences, the third one for me. After the sadness of losing my boy Beebs in 2020, I was hoping for a quiet year and in some ways, it was, other than that the whole world came to a stop for months on end!

January 2020: There's nothing like starting the year off cutely, is there?

As well as enjoying snuggles with #1:

Any winter sunpuddles I could find:

And hanging out with little Genji:

February 2020 - I was getting into dangling seriously and trying to innovate with some vertical moves.

In late January, #1 had knee surgery, and she required a lot of nursing after she came home from hospital:

Everyone knows the healing power of snuggling with cats.

I would take the occasional break.

And would then return to duty, sometimes supported by Genji.

March 2020 -  I cheered #1 up by looking cute for her

Mid-month, she had to go to England for a few days and that is when all hell broke loose. Her car broke down and the first lockdown loomed. She got home by the skin of her teeth! We were so happy to have her back!

April 2020 - It was full lockdown. The world was quiet and #1 was home with us all the time! We loved that. But #1's knee was deprived of physio so I had to step in.

The weather was lovely and the cat tun beckoned.

It was the four of us: #1, me, Genji and Ollie. We were happy together.

Lazy days:

May 2020 - I looked cute. Always! The first lockdown ended and #1 resumed her physio.

I hung out with the others:

I spent more time out in the cat run:

June 2020 - It was a quiet time as we headed to summer

July 2020 - It was summer and we were all lazy

Doing the "zebra effect"!

Watching TV with #1:

Hanging out with Ollie:

August 2020 - And suddenly it was August and time for another birthday. I turned 12, a happy girl, adored by my #1:

September 2020 - As the days shortened and the temperatures began to drop, I enjoyed every single ray of warm sunshine!

October 2020 - As it got cooler, I started using my cubby on the landing more:

I often hung out with little Genji, He was such a sweet boy.

November 2020 - I hardly need to tell you that, as the days shorten and the temperatures drop, we all seek family time and snuggles more.

December 2020 - And another year was coming to an end. We always felt the absences hardest at those times, but we did our best to get into the festive spirit.

And this was the year that #1 bought the bed that was going to become my chosen beddie for the rest of my days!

And that is my story for 2020. Do join me again next week for the next year.
