Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: waves paws... Hello everyone and welcome to our weekly round-up of all the handsome guys at The Poupounette. I think that I shall start with Benny The Black this week. Here he is, relaxing on the cat tree with a view by the kitchen window:

We've had pretty rainy weather the last couple of days, and it's set to continue today and tomorrow, so little Dragon Ryū is passing the time napping.

Ollie and #1 are pretty good at getting outside in between showers, so he has been getting his fill of gambolling in the fields.

To be honest, I too have been doing my share of napping:

As for The Big V, he and Ollie seem to hanging out together more and more!

And that's our offering for this Monday morning. We wish you all a good week.

Snuggles on Sunday

Benny The Black: Hello everyone. I am Benny, your host every Sunday for our compendium of snuggles. Photos are a little thin on the ground this week as #1 was busy, plans changed, etc. etc... But let me see what I can find for you.  

I shall start with myself, gracing #1's lap of an evening, as I do almost every day:

I am also on #1's bed every night/morning, generally occupying the bottom left quadrant. Sometimes, I have company:

Yes, Dragon Ryū had claimed the premium location for himself that evening!

Momo has been snuggling regularly with Ollie:

#1 did snag a couple of selfies with the Vs, but they're not the best this time around. We have Violette first, followed by The Big V:

And that's all I have for you today. I'll see if we can improve on that next week. 

Keep snuggling, everyone!

PS: We have just heard that our dear friend Jackie Avery, mum to Eric and Flynn, lost her fight with the Big C yesterday and is now reunited with her two boys. #1 had the privilege of actually meeting Jackie, who was the nicest person ever, in person. We send our condolences to Ivor. We will all miss her dreadfully. RIP, Dear Friend.

Sunpuddle Saturday

 

Ryū-Chan: The weather forecast for this weekend is not very clear. There's talk of rain, thunder, some sunpuddles... It could be anything really. I do love a good sunpuddle!

Come on, Mr. Sun! Promise me you'll stick around!

That was a pretty vague answer, just like the weather forecast. I think I'll cross my paws instead.

Violette and Vidock Vendredi

 

Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! and Happy Month of May! We continue to enjoy our wonderful new field, and #1 comes to visit a couple of times a week, bringing apples and carrots. She also give us wonderful brushies and checks us all over for those nasty bitey ticks that make life unpleasant this time of year. Ollie Woofie comes with her and does a fair share of supervising!

Here he is with me:

And with The Big V:

This time of year, there's lots of yummy grass to eat but we also have access to big bales of hay, in case we feel like something a little different.

One of the most fun things we get to do is go on walks with #1 and Ms. L and/or Ms. T:

The living is easy, friends!

Thankful Thursday

 

#1 here again. Do you remember the little girl cat who had been abandoned last autumn in one of the fields near our house, whom I fed for a while before she was eventually adopted by my neighbours? Her name is Phoebe and she has settled in so well. I managed to catch a nice portrait of her the other day. She is just the prettiest thing!

Some of you will need to look away for these next photos, but I am thankful that I managed to save this gorgeous little adder from the clutches of three pussycats who thought he made the perfect toy.

Happy last day of April!

Tuesday Noura Update

 

#1 here. This morning, I received a couple of short videos and a photo of little Noura and wanted to share them with you. She is currently with an English foster family in Beirut and her foster mum, Phoebe, says she is quite a character, very sociable and outgoing! She also has the most amazing frootbats!

In the first video, Noura is the one at the back, grooming Mila, who was found alone on the highway.
