Ollie: Woofs, everyone! Ollie here! I have a video for you today. I have never been keen on balls and fetching, unlike my predecessor, Tommy. But the other day, Ms. L started throwing sticks for me, and I loved going to get them. #1 captured a little bit of it on video so you can see my moves. I had a lot of fun!
Benny The Black: We're late! We're LATE! We do apologise but we lost our phone and Internet connection early yesterday evening and have only just gotten it back at noon on Tuesday.
I wanted to tell you that #1 spoke with Dr. C about me yesterday. You may remember that I have coughing fits, just like Queen Tama used to have, and so have been on a micro-dose of prednisone for a while. #1 noticed that I was sleeping more than usual and, knowing that coughing can also be a symptom of heart issues in cats, was a little concerned. She discussed it at some length with Dr. C who suggested one good way of seeing if my heart was "over-burdened" would be to count the number of breaths per minute when deeply asleep. It has to be under 30 to be good. So, #1 did this, twice, and the count both times came in at 24! She will monitor me again today, but it now looks as though I was just adjusting to the change in season!
Here are some pics of me to show you how handsome I look:
Momo-Chan: Hello everyone! Fluff Puff here! How have you all been? We are enjoying being in a warm home heated by our recently installed heat pump. #1 said that if she still had her old oil-fired boiler, there would be no money for treats!
Did you see that I represented The Poupounette at the fab Mad Hatter Tea Party organised by June, over at Zoolatry? As I am a shy boy, #1 thought it would do me good to get out and about. Here is my official tea party photo, courtesy of the lovely Ann at Zoolatry:
Benny: Your servant, Benny The Black here. My apologies for posting a little late. I have been feeling sleepier than usual of late. #1 has said she will discuss this with Dr. C tomorrow, in case there might be a problem. In the interim, here I am at last with our weekly snuggle post.
We had a lovely time yesterday, celebrating birthdays with Mr. G, Ms. N, Ms, L and Ms. T. It was raining "cats and dogs" outside but everyone was all smiles inside. Mr. G got this cute pic of #1 with Dragon Ryū:
Benny: It's me, Benny The Black! I was so touched by all the wonderful birthday messages I received, both here on the blog and also on Facebook. You are the greatest friends! As we get to the end of another week, here are some photos to show you the different ways we spend our time.
I am something of a bibliophile. I simply love sitting on piles of books. A friend of #1's even suggested I should start a book blog. It would be called B Cubed, of course (Benny's Book Blog)!
#1 here. It's fairly unusual for me to catch all three kitten boys together, but I did a few days ago! As you can see, Benny is supervising and making sure that his two little brothers, Momo and Ryū, clean themselves up properly. I am thankful to have such a wonderful supervisor and spotlessly clean kitties!
