Manly Monday With Momo

 

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:

In other news, my bro, Benny The Black has been feeling a little under the weather, so I have been keeping an eye (and tail) on him.

He did get served a snack in bed!

Dragon Ryū has also been enjoying the warm:

Ollie continues to enjoy his walks:

The Big V has been enjoying his new salt lick (Miss Violette also has a new one!):

We wish you all a good week as we come to the end of October.

Snuggles on Sunday

 

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:

And here is a fun pic with Ollie, Ms. L and Ms. T!

And #1 got this one of him sharing a big cuddle with Mr. R, Mr. G's dad!

We have another fun picture of Fluff Puff Momo and Dragon Ryū, sharing the back of an armchair. Once again, you can see the difference in size quite well!

Here is one where you can see all three of us; me on #1's lap, Momo coming to see what's going on, and Ryū on the back of the armchair:

I thought it would also be fun to include this pic of me snuggling with my little mousie:

We wish you all a peaceful and snuggly Sunday:

Feline Friday

 

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)!

Our little Dragon bro, Ryū, loves to play above all else. The other day, he found the most perfect box to sit in:

As for Fluff Puff Momo, lounging on his blue Peggy's Blankie is one of his favourite things!

That picture was taken on a sunny day. The sun is now on strike as we have a big storm coming our way today.

Our Fluff Puff is attending the Mad Hatter's Tea Party over at Zoolatry today, so make sure you drop by!

By the way, we are hosting a lunch tomorrow to celebrate four birthdays, mine (20th), Ms. L's (18th), Mr. G's (26th), and Ollie's (on the 30th), so we will not be posting as #1 needs to get things ready. I'm sure there will be lots of great pics to share on Sunday, though!

Thankful Thursday Togetherness

 

#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!

Wordless Wednesday...

 

... With Dragon Ryū.

BIRTHDAY BOY BENNY!

 

#1 here. Today is our Benny's official birthday. When he came to live with us, aged five months, he had no name on his passport other than "Petit Noir" which means "Little Black". He also had no actual date of birth other than "sometime in October" so we gave him one. He wasn't in great shape when he arrived, with runny eyes and messed-up ears, and he soon needed surgery to remove a polyp from his right ear. But he was a very sweet and brave little boy and I decided he needed a suitable name. So, I decided to name him BENKEI (弁慶), after Japan's most famous warrior monk. That fairly quickly turned into Benny. I trawled the web to see if I could find some cool Kitty Benkei images and came across these on Instagram. My apologies for stealing them but they were simply too cute!

Here, for info, is what the real Benkei supposedly looked like:

Benny was incredibly cute when he arrived, and he is just as cute now. Here is proof:

In the year since his arrival at Poupounette Central, Benny, now known as Benny The Black. has brought nothing but joy. He is the snuggliest boy, and he is so sweet about taking his daily medication for his allergies (something he appears to have "inherited" from Queen Tama). He will come to the kitchen and sit on teh table, waiting for me to bring the (tiny) pill and the Churu that goes with it. 

He absolutely adores his little brother, Fluff Puff Momo:

And his big brother Ollie:

His relationship with Dragon Ryū is a little more complicated as they. both want to be boss, but they do spend time companionably together:

Benny does spend a great deal of time snuggling with me, which brings me great joy:

A VERY HAPPY SIXTH BIRTHDAY to the handsomest panther ever, from me, Ollie, Momo, Ryū, Vidock and Violette.

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: And it's another week under way, or that is what #1 says anyway. It's a big week at Poupounette Central as we are celebrating Benny's birthday tomorrow. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First, some Monday Manliness for you all, starting with Dragon Ryū as #1 took this gorgeous photo of him a few days ago:

Next up is Ollie, looking good in the autumn foliage:

Benny The Black enjoying window whiffies before it got too chilly to leave the kitchen window open:

And here I am, seen from the back, busy attending to my fluff!

Last but definitely largest is our biggest bro, The Big V, enjoying a drink in the sunshine!

We wish you all a good week and invite you to join us tomorrow for Benny's Birthday Bash!

PS: A big thank you to all you lovely people who commented on our post yesterday!
