Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Hello everyone! Fluff Puff here! I'm back with another round-up of handsome lads at The Poupounette. Heat or no heat, we're always HOT!!!

I saw that some comments were included in an earlier post about me not using the new cat tree yet. Well, I'm a cautious boy, and I like to make sure that something is A-OK before I venture on it. So, here I am, enjoying the top level of the tree, and doing a nice dangle to boot:


Mr.G took this rather nice one of me and my bro, Benny The Black, in the cat run:


These days, Benny spends quit a lot of time on the dining room table. just behind #1's laptop. She had put down some fresh towels that she meant to take upstairs, and he has commandeered them as a pillow!


Dragon Ryū continues to enjoy the cubby on the cat tree:



Ollie's tongue has been growing longer and longer as the weather gets hotter and hotter:



There's lots of nice shade where the Vs are, and they are doing well. The Big V has been really enjoying the nettles that #1 has been cutting down for him and Violette:


The weather is scheduled to stay in the mid-30sC until Thursday and then cool down a bit. There are thunderstorms in the forecast. We really would love some rain.

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny The Black: Hello everyone, and welcome to our weekly post of all the best snuggles at Poupounette Central. Although I must say that we could have done without this new heatwave that has sent daytime temps to around 40° (100F). We are managing but #1 is back to sleeping on the sofa downstairs because her bedroom is a furnace, and to make matter even less pleasant, she has pulled a hamstring muscle. Woe is her!

Dragon Ryū has been keeping #1 company on the sofa at night. Fortunately, he is not a toe biter!


I had a good snuggle with Mr. G when he was over the other day:


And he got this nice shot of me and #1:


Despite the heat, I still snuggle with my bro, Momo:



And Momo has also been hanging with Ollie:


Things did get a bit tight the other evening on #1's lap!


#1 visited the Vs yesterday, and they send smooches to everyone. First Violette:


And The Big V:


Wherever you are, we wish you a cool and pleasant Sunday.

Sleek Saturday

 

Benny The Black: Mr. G was here yesterday afternoon and he took a couple of really great shots of me in the cat run!



#1 says I am the sleekest of panthers!

Family Friday

 

Ollie: Woofs, everyone! Ollie here on other scorching hot day in rural France. It is so hot and so dry that all fireworks displays that had been scheduled for July 14th have been cancelled by prefectural order. #1 and I have been going out really early but it's already quite warm before 8am!


My kitty bros are all keeping cool as best they can. Here is Dragon Ryū enjoying the new cat tree:


Benny snoozing on the bed:

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny The Black: We are not at all thankful that the heat is back, and will be particularly torrid between today and next Monday. We are, however, thankful that #1 finally got us a new cat tree! She had been looking for a while and finally came across one that looked good and was reasonably priced. It arrived just before she left for Luxembourg, so she put it together after her return. Dragon Ryū helped:


And then it was done!


She ended up putting one of our older repurposed trees next to it, to make it even better for us, and I decided to give it a try:



I like it! Then a certain little scamp decided it was his, and he was quite rude when I tried to tell him that I am the senior cat around here:



Fluff Puff Momo hasn't tried it yet. He is frightened of most things until he gets used to them.

Topsy Turvy Tuesday

 

Dragon Ryū: I wonder if it is any cooler upside down?




Well, at least my tummy gets aired out a bit!
