Ever since, #1 got back from Canada, we have been meaning to share with you a few pages from a book she was given when she was there, but let's start with a photo of me!
That will set the scene for our book introduction. The work in question is called "French Cats Don't Get Fat" by one Henri de la Barbe (aka Henry Beard). Here is the cover:
The very elegant lady cat who is featured in this book looks suspiciously like me, although I do not recall giving any pawed permissions for my likeness to be used... Never mind. It is rather fun, and I shall paste a few excerpts from it for your viewing pleasure since there are regular comments on our blog about how sleek both Sei-Chan and I always look:
How nice to be the star of this new book! I love the picture of you, your ears look especially cute today.

You are such an elegant young lady. We like the picture of the kitty climbing the birdhouse! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteFor sure Tama you are the model for this book.
ReplyDeleteYou have to receive royalties.

PeeEssWoo: Hi Tommy!
Wow how fab. That book looks great! It's probably great because you're in it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool book! I think my sister Ginger needs to read it!
ReplyDeleteOf course, you are the model for this book. I bet it was the pawparazzi sneaking around snapping sneaky pics of you. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove,

TC, you get more beautiful everyday. I could write a whole book about how gorgeous you are!
ReplyDeleteTama you are beautiful. WE can see why you were chosen to be the "heroine" in the book. We haven't ever seen a cat climb a pole to get to the birdhouse.

How great that you are featured in the story! Wish we could bigify your pics so we could read the words. Of course, you in real life are much prettier than the caricature.
ReplyDeletewoos, the OP Pack
That's a great picture of you, Tama-Chan, you look like a slightly annoyed aristocrat (or aristocat). And it sure looks like M de la Barbe was inspired by you for this drawings!
