Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: Helloooooo! It's me, Benny The Black. I am thankful for a couple of things today. The first is that I have finished my course of antibiotics, and the second is that #1 has not heard me cough for over a week! Dr. C called her yesterday and said we should try tapering off the prednisone and see if I am OK without taking it, as she would prefer me not to be on it for any length of time. Queen Tama was very unusual in that she was able to take it for years with no bad side-effects. Most cats are not so lucky.

I do have a few nice photos to share.

She caught me as I was cleaning up my act. See my pink tongue?

At the window the day she opened it for a short while because it was balmy:

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs everyone, and welcome to woofie Wednesday! We've had some nice weather recently, and #1 made sure that I got to get some good exercise running in the big field behind the house. Let me start with a long shot:

It's a great field to run in, and Tommy enjoyed playing with his ball there. I don't really do balls, but I do love to run!

After I've run for a bit, I am quite out of breath and need to sit down and rest for a bit!

I try to be good and stay within #1's line of sight but sometimes I can't help it when I see something really interesting and take off, although I always come back quickly. #1 says it's a good job I didn't see the three white-tailed deer running off in the other field yesterday morning. Wait! What deer???

Tama-Chan Tuesday - The Rainbow Queen

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Greetings, Dear Friends. I hope you are all well. I have been keeping an eye on the goings on at Poupounette Central and the boys are doing a fair job of looking after #1. As could be foreseen, that little scamp, Ryū, has decided that he will be the one snuggling with #1 now as she works. What can I say, he's an Aby and considers himself a prince.

So, this is my third Rainbow Bridge post and this time, I shall include two years of my life, to wit my third and fourth years. I hope you enjoy the photos!

I had being cute down to a tee already, of course!

I always enjoyed snuggling with my sister Sei:

Here I am, in the cat run, showing off those green eyes of mine!

It was the perfect venue for some serious cat yoga!

You know how they all compare some pawpads to coffee beans. Well, behold!

And so, I reached my third birthday, beloved by all, especially my #1:

Here I am, napping between her legs, with little Genji at the back:

And here is a rather mysterious shot from the cat run:

I was good at finding just the right sunpuddle!

And putting my boy, Bibi, in his place if he tried to lay claim to #1's pillow!

Me napping with #1 again, this time with my sister Sei behind me:

A nice third year portrait:

As you know, I was always keen to help #1. In this case, it was with the ironing:

And then, just like that, it was 2012. Those were such happy days as Tommy, Sei, Bibi, Genji and I all graced Poupounette Central. We are now all reunited at the Bridge, and much missed by #1.

In those days, I liked to hang out in the hammock on the radiator in the study:

And I loved the cat run!

My dangling was beginning to come together:

And on August 2, 2012, I enjoyed celebrating my fourth birthday with my sister Sei:

And that completes the third episode of this series depicting my life. I do hope you are not bored!

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Hi Everyone! Wishing you all a Flufffy Puffy start to the week. I'm back with my weekly round-up of handsome pics of handsome dudes. I'm going to start with this one of Benny because we think he looks incredibly handsome and mysterious!

Talking of looking handsome, how about this one of Ollie?

As you all know, little Ryū is pretty hard to catch as he is always in movement. The two exceptions are when he is napping and when he is eating.

As for me, I was enjoying some quiet time on the big dog bed in the study upstairs:

When you know who turned up, having woken from his nap!

I hope you all have a great week and many sunpuddles!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: Hello, everyone! It's me, Benny The Black! I wanted to say a big thank you for all the lovely comments last week when I hosted SoS for the first time. I hereby promise that I shall do my very best each and every week! I also wanted to mention that #1 no longer hears me cough, so that means the meds are working their magic!

Anymeow, I think I shall start with a couple of pics of me and my pal, Ollie. A friend of #1's recently told her that she had a hard time telling the two of us apart in the photos. Well, that's the whole point!!! Witness:

Here is Ollie hanging with Fluff-Puff Momo:

Mr. G took this nice photo of me and #1 last week:

And he even managed to get a photo of her snuggling with Ryū!

As usual, he looks like he is being tortured. But don't be fooled! Little Dragon is in the process of taking over Queen Tama's position at the computer!

And even though it's not the best photo, here is one of Ollie, Momo and me on #1's bed first thing in the morning. Did we mention that Momo loves attacking moving feet under the cover?

Sadly, we don't have any horsey photos this week. We'll try to do better next time. We do have a guest arriving for a couple of days on Monday evening. Maybe she'll snuggle with us?

Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

 

Rainbow Sei: Hello, Dear Friends! It's been over a month since our last souvenir post and, as you know, we have gained a new member. I cannot tell you how happy we all were to be reunited with our beloved Tama. Needless to say, she went to Tommy first, and then Sen-Chan, but she was happy to see all of us, even her son Beebs and her three other kits, Fuku, Gogo, and Hime, all of whom are with us. 

I suggested to #1 that it would be fun if she could find some shots that showed several of us together when we were still at Poupounette Central. This is what she sent me.

In the first one, you can see me, Yuu-Chan and Tama at the buffet:

In the second, Yuu and I are wrestling whilst Tama contemplates her ever growing Tommy:

You've seen quite a few pics of me or Tama with Tommy, but here he is with Da Beebs when he was a tiny kit. Tommy was so sweet to all kittens and cats, even our neighbours' cats loved him!

We'll just leave it at that for today. I hope to be back soon!

Feline Friday

 

Ryū-Chan: I don't know why people laugh when #1 tells them that she finds it hard to get good photos of me because I am `always very busy! Isn't it good to be busy? I love to explore and do stuff! And sometimes, I do sit still!

My bro Momo, on the other paw, loves to nap, and he often does so in "let it all hang out" poses!

Benny, who already seems to be coughing less, has been spending quite a lot of time with this new old toy that #1 dug up the other day:

We're all different, but we are family!
