Thankful Thursday

Benny: It's me, Benny The Black! Today, I am thankful that, even though the temps are rising rapidly here (they are forecasting 100F/38C on Sunday), the downstairs in our house remains pleasantly cool and I can still sit by the window and practice my dangles;

#1 got herself a watermelon to help her stay cool, and I have been guarding it:

Wild Wednesday

 

Dragon Ryū: Your favourite dragon here! Look what I caught!

#1 was not pleased. She said it is called a slow worm and is a lizard without legs, and we should not harm it. So she scooped it up and put it back outside. But I only wanted to play!

Tiny Tuesday

 

Ryū-Chan: Hi everyone. It's Dragon Ryū here! Yesterday, we made a really fun discovery. We realised that we have a tiny ginger cousin in Germany! His name is Horst. He is only about five months old, and he was rescued from abandonment in Romania by the daughter of #1's cousin, Ms. S.  I wanted to tell you about him because, even though I'm not ginger, I'm the closest to that colour palette in The Poupounette Gang. Ms. S , who is cat-sitting for him at the moment, sent us some awesome pics, and we want to share them with you:

Don't you love all that ginger goodness?!😻😻😻

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: And it's already another Monday and another opportunity to regale you with great photos of us boys at The Poupounette.

This week, I would like to start with my bro, Benny The Black, who spotted something interesting the other day:

Benny and I have been quite busy keeping an eye on #1 at her computer,  now that we are connected again.

I imagine that Queen Tama would say that it takes two boys to do the work she did all by herself, but it's more fun when there are two of you!

The season for summer holidays is approaching and I know #1 is planning something, so I am getting ready too:

Dragon Ryū can be seen on the window hammock most days:

Ollie always risks losing his tongue when he goes out for  run in the fields!!!

As for The Big V, it may seem difficult but he has reached new heights of naughtiness, as shown in this photo taken by Ms. T. She barely managed to save that baguette.

We wish you all a good week!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: Welcome, everyone! Your host Benny The Black here, happy to share with you another collection of lovely pics of us snuggling. I shall start with myself this week, as Mr. G took this nice one of me snuggling with #1:

And here I am again, enjoying her lap of an evening:

#1 managed to sneak up on Momo so they could do a selfie together!

And Mr. G managed to get a shot of #1 snuggling with Dragon Ryū as well!

Here is one of Ollie having a morning snuggle with #1:

it's back to me snuggling with Mr. G and Ms. N for our last offering of the week. We don't have any horsey snuggle pics this time.

Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

 

Rainbow Sei: Hello everyone! I don't even know how long it has been since we did a souvenir post, but it is far too long! I am so happy to be back, with nice photos of all of us here at the Bridge.

I think I shall start with this fun photo that shows Queen Tama, Da Beebs, and Genji in the cat run. It was taken in June 2013!

Next, here is a photo of Queen Tama (from June 2012) who says she misses you all but she thinks Benny is doing an OK job with "her" SoS slot:

We also have Da Beebs, looking his usual gorgeous self, from My 2014, snuggling with #1:

Yuu-Chan was only at Poupounette Central for a short time, but he was such a great mentor to kitten Beebs. We found this cute pic from March 2010:

Before any of us, there was Ikkyu who shared #1's life on three continents. Here he is in July 2003:

Also short-lived was Sen-Chan's time at Poupounette Central, but he started this blog and we shall forever be grateful to him for that. Here he is in May 2008:

Little Genji was the only blue Aby among us, and he was also unique in other ways, such as his velcro love for #1:

Tommy was the rock on which The Poupounette was built, and we all know how much #1 misses him. Here he is in June 2012:

Trav never knew the comfort of a lovely home but he was well-fed and part of our family for the short time he had. We love having him with us now! This photo is from June 2016.

Of course, the largest among us by far, and also one of the sweetest, is our lovely lady, Hotesse. Here she is in May 2012:

Oops! Can you believe I almost forget myself?! Here I am, in June 2012:

I hope you enjoyed this week's selection. We'll try to be back before too long with more souvenir photos.

Find me on Friday!

 

#1 here. Do you remember our recent "lumping" post when Dragon Ryū was hiding  under the table cloth? Well, it seems to have been contagious, as I came across this yesterday:

Further investigation yielded this:

Yes! This time, it was Fluff Puff Momo hiding!

He clearly thought he was perfectly invisible...

Our cellphone and Internet woes have continued, following a strange pattern. The signal disappears at some stage between 8am and 10am, and comes back around 5:30 or 6pm. Of course, #1 then has to catch up on all the communications and work she hasn't been able to attend to all day, so we apologise once again for the lack of commenting. It seems that this has been a programmed works related outage but they did not feel the need to inform their customers.... Grrrrr! We hope it's done now.
