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.
Sei-Chan's face in the first picture is adorable. And rather inquisitive than hissy! We love those bluebells! We have only a few and in white and pink too, but mom likes the blue ones best. Purrs!
P.S.: Sigh, seems like Siena is loosing her Kitty Fight Club match too. But you are ahead now, Tama-Chan.
What a lovely photo of the girls. We think Sei-Chan will make a wonderful sister for the two of you.
P.S. Tama-Chan, we were very impressed with your account of yesterday's food bowl confrontation. You did very well not to bop the little miss on the noggin!:)
Aww, so close, so close! Tama-chan, it took me a while, but, I think I love my little sisfur! And she's FUN to play with. Just give in, darlin' and the fun will begin!
Sei-Chan and Tama-Chan, it looks like you're getting to know each other. Tom, you're handsome and it looks as though you're doing your best to look friendly.

Happy Earth Day!

Whatever do you think is on Sei-Chan's mind? I don't think Tama-Chan and Tommy know what to make of her inscrutability!
ReplyDeleteYour pal,
Fenway
Sei-Chan looks completely unfazed by Tama-Chan's close inspection. She's amazingy confident.
ReplyDeleteAre you all having a staring contest?
