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.
Of course you must complain. You are so entitled. And we can back you up. We hope you are throwing what the Britcats call a 'mega strop'. But we also have a sneaky feeling that your #1 misses you all like crazy and wishes she was with you to tend to your every whim and mood swing. In the meantime, it's only seventyeleven sleeps until she is back. And there are some seriously good cat toys available from the UK.
Oh, Sei, we do know you are being well cared for in #1's absence. Humans do need to do these holiday things once in a while. We just have to "suck it up".
But a letter to the authorities would be fun anyway!!
We think all humans should be shackled to the kitchen table so they are ready with food, water, scritches and loves to order. This could cause a problem with #1 looking after Vidock of course! Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
The cheek of your #1, abandoning you so heartlessly. Again. ::swishes tail indignantly:: Sei-Chan, I will be there immediately and we'll compose your letter. And we can snuggle! ::blush:: I hope it will be OK if my tail gets in the ink...it gets into everything! XX Maui
No kidding! It seems like she is always away - and when she comes back, she swears she won't go away for a long while... and then before you know it, she is gone again! I'm with you on the complaints!
Goodness Sei, you're making an angry face! You DO mean business! Tell #1 we are all absolutely behind your request for her to come home. Treats and toys better accompany her!
Why? What happened? May I know who is your number 1? I am just curious.
ReplyDeleteNice photo by the way.

Hope you get some good results quickly, Sei-Chan. We don't like it when our Mom goes away either. Hope #1 is back soon.

PeeEssWoo: Hi Tommy! Khats are SOOOOO dramatikh!
Poor Sei-Chan. Maybe she will bring toys and treats back wif her. If not, break sumthing. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you, I would be writing a letter as well. Come back...come back!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sei-chan, please write a letter of complaint. Sometimes that is the only way to get satisfaction.
ReplyDeleteI send virtual hugs and skritches to you!
