Momo's Fourth Birthday!

 

#1 here. Four years ago was born a very fluffy white kitten who would grow into a stunning mancat called Momo! He also had a brother, by the name of Tokyo, who looks like a carbon copy of him (and also has a woofie but no kitty siblings). After getting Benny The Black, I thought it would be fun to get an all white kitten, but I never imagined the level of gorgeousness that life would bestow on me. Today, he is celebrating his fourth birthday, and Champagne shall be consumed in his honour! Here is a retrospective of Momo since the day he moved into Poupounette Central.

Momo this month:



Happy Fourth Birthday to our beloved Momotarō, aka Fluff Puff, with his silky coat and his huge feet. He is shy but very playful. He loves all his brothers. He is always gentle and a little bit of a scaredy cat. He is a cat of unknown origin whom everbody mistakes for a Turkish Angora. We are so lucky to have him as part of our family!

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: Today, we are thankful for #1's DIY efforts. Our cat tree by the kitchen window was beginning to look very ratty, but we did not have the funds to order a fab new one. So, #1 took apart several old trees, and reassambled what was salvageable into some new window-side accommodations for us! The result doesn't have much height, but it has roomy seating areas with good views of the garden! She said she might be able to create another element too, when she has the time.



Talking of time, we have a guest, Ms. N, arriving today, so not sure about posting over the next few days. We shall be posting on Saturday, though, as it's going to be a Fluffy Puffy Birthday!

Tama-Chan Tuesday - The Rainbow Queen

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Hello, Dear Friends! Here I am, back to my usual Tuesday spot after a break last week. I hope you are all well. You know that at the Bridge, we welcome all who have crossesd but we also rejoice when, through their tears, our people choose to open their hearts and homes to another cat (or dog). So, this week, Derby and Ducky are celebrating the arrival of Dobby with their Mom, Janet, who was finding the silence too hard to bear. Live long and prosper, Dobby!

Now, where was I? We have reached the year 2021 in our meanderings through my life at Poupounette Central. That was the year I celebrated my 13th birthday and #1 left for a long stay in Japan for the Olympics and Paralympics. It was also a year of more goodbyes, but also a hello. So let's get to it.

January 2021 - The plan was simple: naps, sunpuddles and snuggling with #1:






February 2021 - It was nice to spend time with Ollie, and even with Fernant, in addition to my usual activities







March 2021 - This was the saddest month because we lost little Genji. He had not been doing well for a while and his poor body finally gave out. For a little while, it was just Ollie and me.







It had been peaceful, and then this showed up!


April 2021 - Yes, Benny The Black had arrived! A half grown kitten at five months, riddled with ear mites and an eye infection. Then it turned out he had a polyp in his right ear that needed removing. He was a pretty expensive free kitten!


I started helping #1 more with the computer:






May 2021 - With the nicer weather, I began to enjoy the cat run more.





Sometimes, the little black ninja would try my patience:


But what could I do?


June 2021 - June arrived and #1 told us that she would be leaving mid-month and not be back until September. Intricate arrangements were put in place for our care, and we enjoyed her presence as much as we could.






July and August 2021 - I have a grand total of two photos for these two months. #1 even missed my birthday on August 2nd. She said it could not be helped. Really?



September 2021 - We could not wait for #1 to return at the end of the first week in September!





November 2021 - Things settled back into our usual routines once #1 came back to earth after that amazing experience.





December 2021 - And then it was the last month of the year, with Christmas and the end of another twelve month period. What would 2022 bring?





Thank you for reading yet another very long post!
