Feline Friday

 

Ryū-Chan: Can you believe another week has already gone by? That's what #1 says anyway. I have no idea what a week is! All I know is cuddles, good food, and playtime!  Anymeow, she tells me that we need some nice photos of us kitties today, so here goes. I'll start with this nice one of Benny The Black:



Next is Fluff Puff Momo, looking very fluffy indeed!


And here I am, Dragon Ryū, looking learned and studious!


We wish you all a fun Friday!

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: Your friend, Benny The Black, here! I am thankful that our woofie, Ollie, is back with us. We really missed him, but it sounds like he had a great time! He tells me that he's going back over there next week, but Mr. G will be here with us kitties as #1 will be off to the French Percheron National Championships.


We are also thankful that #1 found a great place to hang up our Magical Family Tree. It's in the kitchen where she can admire it all day!


This week, #1 sent six big horses on their way to the UK. We are thankful that business has been brisk and making her enough to buy us lots of treats!

Wednesday Whinnies

 

The Big V: Handsome neighs, everyfriend! As you know, we got a hay delivery last week, and the weather is now delightful. It's warm during the day and cool at night. So life is good for me and The Princess Violette (that is how she now insists on being called).





Life is good!

Twofer Tuesday

 

Benny The Black: It's a well-known fact that I like to hang out with my flufffy puffy bro, Momo. He is good company and he is very respectful, which cannot be said of that little dragon scamp, Ryū. It's been fairly warm the last few days (and again today) and we have been enjoying window whiffies together. #1 says that being with me gives Momo much more confidence.



We always like to hang out on #1's bed together:

Monday Magic!

 

Momo-Chan: Fluff-Puff here! Normally on a Monday, I share with you photos of us handsome boys being extra handsome, but this week we have something a little different.

You see, #1 (and the rest of us) received a belated birthday present from Ms. L and Ms. T! It is the most wonderful photographic art work called "Magical Family Tree". It shows all of us at The Poupounette, plus our #1 and the family we have built together. At the top are us three kitties: On the left is Dragon Ryū, complete with dragon wings and horns, in the middle is me, looking all fluffy (sorry the eye colour isn't quite right), and on the right the one and only Benny The Black as the wizard he is. In the centre are #1 and the two Vs who have morphed into Unicorn Violette and Unicorn Vidock for the occasion. And at the bottom is Ollie whom the girls call Sweet Pea which explains his disguise! We think it is the loveliest present ever! Thank you, Ms. L and Ms. T!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny The Black: Benny at your service, hosting our weekly snugglefest! #1 used trickery to manage to get a selfie with Miss Violette so we shall start with that today:


We also have a fun one of The Big V snuggling his hay bale!


It would appear that Dragon Ryū and I are getting  into a pattern with #1 when she goes to bed in the evening:



And talking of patterns, I'm pretty much into my own pattern with Momo too!



And I shall close this week's selection with one of me snuggling with Ollie:


Wishing you all a snuggly Sunday. Ollie is spending the weekend with the Vs and #1 is off to a Percheron event all day, so it will be just us three boys.

Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

 

Rainbow Sei: HELLOOOOOO! Do you know how long it has been since my last souvenir post? THREE MONTHS! Really! I need to keep closer tabs on #1 and ensure that we have one at least once a month. Don't you agree? We are all doing well here at The Bridge. Queen Tama is now officially Queen Tama of the Western Bridge. She had to leave other bits to Queen Nellie, Queen Daisy etc etc... You understand, right?

So let me start with a photo that was taken all the way back in 2004 of the first of us all, Ikkyu!


After Ikkyu came Sen-Chan. Here he is in 2008. He was a very good boy, and an only cat, and he got to go outside, accompanied by Tommy and #1.


And here is Tommy, also from 2008. He just loved the frisbee!


Tommy also loved me, and here are the two of us together in 2009:


Yuu-Chan was only a fleeting presence at Poupounette Central, but he made such an impression everyone who met him. Here he is in 2010:


And then there was Beebs, Queen Tama's son and therefore a prince... Here he is in 2014:


And Queen Tama herself, also from 2014:


Trav was also fleeting and he was always a feral, but we all love him now! Here he is in 2015:


Let us not forget our gorgeous blue boy, Genji. He is shown here in 2016:


And last but not least, our beautiful giant, Hotesse. We all adore her! She sends fond neighs to her two daughters, Violette and Héloise, and her grand-daughter, Philomène:


It's been lovely sharing our photos with all of you again and we hope to be back before too long!
