Wednesday Whinnies

 

Violette: Pretty neighs, Dear Friends! We had visitors on Monday! Friends of #1's from Scotland and Germany, who had been at the Percheron Championships, said they wanted to visit us, and she obliged. We got loss of compliments and cuddles! The Big V tried to hog the attention, as usual. Sigh...

Time on Tuesday

 

#1 here. I am back home after four crazy busy days at the Percheron show, followed by a day of taking some friends to see horses (and donkeys!). I did collect Ollie yesterday, so everyone is back together at Poupounette Central. I will confess to a bit of cheating whilst I was away, though. I stay with my friend, Ms. D, during the championship and loved seeing her beautiful tortie girl, Marnie, who is now 20 years old!

Friends from England also visited the show and I enjoyed some lovely snuggles with their Sprocker girl, Bramble!

We will hopefully resume normal programming tomorrow.

Thankful Thursday

Benny The Black: Hello, Dear Friends! #1 has asked me if I would host today.  This will be our last post until next week as #1 will be off to the French National Percheron Championships from tomorrow through Sunday. Ollie is with Ms. L and Ms. T for the long weekend, and Mr. G will be looking after us kitties. So, even though we don't like it when #1 goes away, we are thankful to have such wonderful people who look after us when she's gone.

Still, I'll be looking out for her return:

Come back quickly, #1!

Waif on Wednesday

 

#1 here. I thought it was high time for another update on little Noura. I called her "waif" in the title, but she hasn't been a waif for a while! As you know, she got sick with parvovirus along with a bunch of other kitties in the kitten room. She received treatment immediately and she is all better now, but this delayed the administrative process to get her here. So, whereas we were hoping to get her in late September/early November, it is now looking more like mid to late November. In the interim, we have some new photos of her, taken a couple of days ago, to share with you. She is going to give Dragon Ryū a run for his money on the frootbat front!

We will of course continue to update you as we ourselves receive news.

Tuesday Treats

 

Momo-Chan: It's me again, Fluff Puff! I hope you don't mind me hosting two days in a row. You say, this post focuses on treats and, aside from the Vs, I am the most treat-driven member of this Gang! Benny is "sometimes, if I feel like it", Ryū is "I'm busy", and Ollie is "the only treats I really like are my nigh-time treats". I, on the other paw, am an "anytime, anywhere" kind of guy. If #1 says treats, I come running. Most of the time. As you know, I'm afraid of my own shadow, so sometimes I hesitate. The other day, #1 had left the door to the guest bedroom open and I was enjoying lounging in the sun on the bed there. #1 saw me and decided I should be served some treats in situ. Wasn't that nice of her?

If I loiter in her bedroom, #1 will also sometimes give me extra treats there:

She said I looked cute hiding behind the Japanese "sudare" bamboo blind:

#1 is hoping that I shall start trusting her more soon.

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: It's Monday again and I. Fluff Puff, am back with another round of pics of the handsome boys at Poupounette Central!

Let's start today with the largest among us, The Big V!

Followed by the second largest, Woofie Ollie. This is a fun pic of him as you can see #1's shadow and it looks like he is being smooched by The Big V's shadow!

And now let's move on to us cats, starting with me. Fluffy as ever, of course, and enjoying the window hammock in the living room.

As you can see, my bro, Benny, wasn't far away:

Here is a better one of Benny The Black:

And to close the ball, so to speak, here is our littlest bro, Dragon Ryū:

Wishing you all a good week! 

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: Greetings and welcome to our weekly snugglefest. This is Benny The Black, your host, with more photos of all of us indulging in some serious loving.

I do hope you are not fed up with pics of me and my bro, Fluff Puff Momo, because I have more for you this week!

Momo is now a regular on #1's bed which is great for all of us, even though it gives #1 even less space to stretch out in! Here is Momo moving in on Ollie for a snuggle:

And here is a rare picture of all three of us kitties with #1 in bed:

Dragon Ryū also likes #1's lap in the evening, when I am not occupying it:

Ollie enjoyed some nice snuggles with Ms. T and his friend Sheba when we visited the horses yesterday:

And 1 even managed to get some selfies with the Vs. Here is The Big V to start with:

And Princess Violette:

We wish you all a restful and snuggly Sunday.
