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.
Bibi-Chan: NO! I did not do a Houbibi!!! But here I am in the cat run which is increasingly looking like a jungle, enjoying some lovely sunshine and looking like a miniature mountain lion!
Well we did think when we saw the pictures that you had indeed done a Houbibi. We are glad that it was the run and that you are safe and yet can still enjoy the wilderness. You are looking very handsome.
Our first thought was that you had done a Houbibi but instead you are pretending you are a lion - we'd love to hear your roar. Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Tu ressembles à un puma dans les hautes herbes Bibi. Ca te va bien le dehors tout vert. Je suis sure que tu fais peur à tous les habitants de cette mini jungle. Tu en es le roi... Ronrons. Hisia
What a handsome lion in that jungle!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the sunbeams and outdoors while you can Bibi!!

You really do look like a miniature lion. Great picture. That looks like a fun place.
ReplyDeleteYour run looks like lots of fun with all the long grass.
ReplyDeleteWe are glad you didn't escape, but just enjoying the outside from the run.
ReplyDeleteYour cat run does looks like a jungle! It's so nice out there that we can't imagine why you would ever need to do a Houbibi.
ReplyDeleteWell, now that your run looks like a jungle, maybe you will cast aside those notions of escape - we can dream, right?
