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.
We are thankful for the mornings when we all start the day together (In case you were wondering, Queen Tama no longer comes upstairs, and waits in her own bed for morning cuddles from #1).
It is nice to see you all start the day together.
ReplyDeleteyour queen is super clever... a queen can wait for presenting the cuddles to her LOL
ReplyDeletegreat idea Queen Tama, that way you get all the downstairs cuddles all by your self and don't have to share
ReplyDeleteBest start to any day: cuddles!
ReplyDeleteQueen Tama is queen fur a reason. But the rest of you enjoy the up stairs.
ReplyDeleteQueen Tama is a very smart kitty not having to compete with everyone else!
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "Well you know it is, the Queen doesn't go to her subjects; her subjects come to the Queen!"
ReplyDeletePurr-haps that is why she is the queen?
ReplyDeleteAs if Tama-Chan needs to be around the rowdy boys.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I start our sleep!

PeeEssWoo: HI Ollie! Hope you will have big fun!
That sure is a pretty happy bed trio!
ReplyDeleteA queen should always let the snuggles come to her
ReplyDeleteHow sweet that you all (except Tama) enjoy cuddles before getting up. We love our morning cuddles too.
