This blog was started in June 2008 by a young sorrel Abyssinian cat called Sen-Chan and a slightly younger English Springer Spaniel called Tommy. The years that followed were full of hellos and goodbyes. Some, like Sen-Chan and Yuu-Chan, were lost very young. Other Abys like Sei-Chan, Bibi, and Genji stayed with us for quite a few years. But they too have gone now, as has Tommy. In the interim, several Percheron horses joined the family, starting with Vidock in 2010, Violette in 2012, and then Hotesse and Heloise in 2020. They contribute to the blog regularly. But the mainstays are Ollie, also an English Springer Spaniel, Tama, an Abyssinian queen who has been with us since late 2008, and Benkei (Benny), a little ruffian who joined us in 2021, followed by Momo in 2022, and another Aby boy, Ryū, in 2023.. We live in rural France, in a region called the Perche, which is famous for its heavy horses.
Oh my poor dear Sen-Chan, it seems your little sister and I have a lot in common... Yes, I confess to finding my own brother's tail utterly fascinating as a kitten and it had the bitey put on it many times each day... While I have grown out of this, I still find pouncing on Ramses to be a great source of entertainment, especially when he's burrowed under the covers in Mummy's bed! ;) So my Sweety it looks like I shall have to spend much of my time kissing your poor tail better for now...
Good work Tama-Chan. I keep trying to catch my own tail but it's quite hard work. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to catch someone else's tail. FAZ
Great catching-coordination, Tama-Chan! Sen-Chan seems to be a patient big brother, congratulations. You're using your laser eyes very well already! Purrs, Siena
Sen-Chan you iz such a good brother to let your Little sis play withs your tails! Tama-chan you is just cutest little thing, even when you iz trying to be all fierce. I can surley See how much you love floofy tails with your little closed lovey eyes :)
Tama-Chan, Your brother's tail is always going to be fun! It's something he has to learn to like. After all, Stygia's tail is extremely interesting to me... and I am going to be a year old next month...

My Mommy always says that God put dark spots on the ends of Abys' tails so we'll always have something to play with!
