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.
You are a great hunter. I don't think our kitties have caught any mice, but Simone could if she tried, I'm sure.
We thought about entering the hammock giveaway, but couldn't figure out where to hang it, which is too bad, really. It would be a nice retreat from Franklin if we could figure something out.
I am very impressed at your prowess, Yuu-Chan. I am an accomplished lizard hunter, but it takes a super hunter to go after the big game like you. -Suey.
Wow, we knew you caught but we didn't know you devoured too. Hope they settled well. TD wants to know if you chew or do like he does, swallow in one big gulp. Happy resting,Hunter Yuu-Chan.
Sounds like you must be feeling better, Yuu Chan! Busby probably wouldn't eat a mouse but I sure would. I am the champion chicken neck eater at our house! xo, Raymond
But what a fun thing to digest!!
ReplyDeleteYou're extra lucky that your #1 let you eat the mousie, Yuu-Yuu. When I caught a mousie once my mom
ReplyDeletetook it AWAY from me.
Purrs,

I have never caught a real mouse. Are they extra tasty?
