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.
Uh oh... there's that little alien again! Although he seems quite kyoot!
Tom, you are such a gorgeous creature! Tama-Chan, you are the epitome of Poise!
RE your comment yesterday... Actually, your comment options on your blog do not allow anonymous comments, only those logged into Blogger or those having an OpenID... that's why we couldn't comment on your blog and some others when we couldn't log in. Thank goodness Mom figured out how to fix that problem!
Poise indeed! Tom is handsome in what looks like the light of early spring. Tama-Chan, we especially love the way you've positioned your paws. And little Sir Junior, combining poise with cuteness - amazing.
Awww... I see little Red doesn't want to be "out done" by anyone! ;)
Other than that I've popped by to thank you so much for our purrfect package that arrived in the post today! :) So far Tigmut'hep has made himself a little worse for wear on the matatabi and we've all had a little nibble of some of the treats - ok so Tigmut'hep got the munchies and tried to rip open the treats, so Mummy intervened and gave us all a few! ;)
Tom, very good poise! Tama yoo will always be very poised, after all yoo is a regal lookin kitteh. And Sir, omc, you madid the mom get all "I want one!"
Hee hee Meowmy was squeeeing and awwwing and laughing out loud looking at the darling baby Sir so tiny in the cat bed, and she's at work! All three are wonderful pictures capturing each of you perfectly...also interesting to note the mirror image of Tom with one paw lifted and baby Sir with the other paw lifted!
We love that word. POISE. Good one ... and that little bitty one is so CUTE! H-Mom is not much of a cat person (no offense Tama!), but something about a kitten just melts her!
Oh Tama-Chan, that is such a gorgeous shot of you!
ReplyDeleteTee hee, Sir, is that sun a bit bright:)
Junior is just too adorable for words.
ReplyDeleteOh the baby is so CUTE, but you all look very poised. ~Socks, Scylla, Charybdis & Fenris
ReplyDeleteYou all look very regal! Even the baby has perfected the look already! I think he would make a perfect baby brother...

ReplyDeleteTama-Chan and Tom, you are very good at posing with style and class! And the little one is trying mightily, too!

ReplyDeleteHow does it feel to be out khuted by an alien?
ReplyDeleteHugz&Khysses,

I am loving your pointing pose! The little alien is working very hard to look poised too.

You all look fabulous. Is there a chance that Sir will become a permanent family member? We love his attitude.
ReplyDeleteTom--I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that pose (being a cat and all).
ReplyDeleteTama-Chan is classy as usual (even though I'm from the wrong side of the tracks, I know classy when I see it).
And the munchkin. I might have to forgo my tough guy reputation and give him a smooch.
Oh my.... all three of your are equally beautiful in the pictures!!
ReplyDeleteLots of Luv & Kisses
Addie and Lucie
