Momo's Manly Monday

 

Momo: MeeYOW everyone! I'm happy to be back hosting after my hiatus whilst Benny hosted. And the timing is perfect as I have some great shots of moi on the window hammock, taken by #1 yesterday!

Out for the count!

My toehawks!

My romantic shot. Anyone want to be my Valentine?

Meanwhile, Benny obviously told Ryū a great joke!

Ryū: "No, #1, you just wouldn't get it."

In other news, Benny has been hanging out with a new friend...

As well as hanging out with Ollie:

Ollie has really been enjoying the better weather!

In closing, we have a very special guest this week. #1's good friend, Ms. D, who has the lovely woofie, FloFlo, also has three kitties. One of them, Willow (Willsy to his friends)  was diagnosed with the big C and had to have one of his legs amputated recently. He is a lovely boy and is doing really well as a "tripod". Here he is, showing off his best smile: and his very manly scar

We wish this brave boy a complete recovery!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Sorry we did not get to post yesterday. #1 was finishing up the first of six reports she has to write before March 10th, and so had to concentrate on that. It has now been handed in and she has started on the next one already! As a result, we're a bit short of good snuggle pics this week.

I'll start off today's post with this nice one of me and #1:

Benny snuggled up to #1:

And snuggled up to Ollie!

Momo hanging with Ollie:

Ryū-Chan has been snuggling quite a bit, though!

And that is all we have for you today. Have a snugly Sunday!

Vidock & Violette Vendredi

 

Vidock: Handsome Neighs, EveryFriend! The Big V here. As you know, #1 is very busy with her big project. She has hardly left the house this week! But Ms. A sent her this nice photo of me in my comfortable stable. 

And then, Ms. C sent her a photo of Miss Violette getting her hooficure!

That is all we can manage today. Wishing you a nice weekend!

Thankful Thursday

 

Ryū-Chan: I asked #1 the other day why she had not given me an Egyptian name since I am supposed to be descended from the gods of Egypt. She just laughed at me and said I should count myself lucky to have such a nice name. My full name is Uryū which means Rain Dragon, and boy has it been raining a lot recently! Yesterday, the heating oil delivery truck got stuck in the mud when it arrived here. We are thankful that the guy managed to call a friend with a tractor who was able to pull it out. And today, I am thankful for my wonderful window hammock where I so often take my afternoon nap.

"I'm asleep, #1."

"Can I help you with something?"

"No? Well, now that I am awake, I might as well spend some time pampering myself."

"Can I go back to sleep now?"

Well-read Wordless Wednesday

 

... with Benny!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Welcome, Dear Friends! Thank you for joining me on my day to share my news and views. As we mentioned, #1 has started work on her big project and I know she just could not do it without me. I am not at all sure why she mumbles under her breath about my tail...

The weather has been pretty awful with lots of wind and rain. There is quite a lot of flooding around us. We are fine as we are up on a hill. Things are so crazy that it will be pelting down one minute and then there will be sunpuddles the next! I don't mind too much as long as I get my numerous daily meals. #1 snagged this pic of me eating one of them yesterday:

My diet needs to be very low fat, so I get fresh chicken breast cooked in the oven and sliced fine and small every day, plus canned foods that are around or less than 1% fat ,and a tiny bit of stuff in gravy that's around 2.5% fat. It is all delicious, I am happy to say!

As mentioned elsewhere, young Momo seems to like hanging around with me when I'm helping #1 with her work or social media. He is a sweet boy, so I don't mind.

#1 also managed to catch me as I was attending to my furs. She also takes time out from her work to brush me regularly!

And now, if you'll forgive me, it's time for my nap.

Benny's Manly Monday

 

Benny: #1 said I could have a go at doing the Manly Monday post this week as I, after all, had to go to the vet last week for my boosters. Dr. C is really very nice, but it was still a stressful occasion, starting with getting my temperature taken:

I was a really good boy and the vet tech, Ms. K, gave me lots of scritches, so I was purring up a storm.

I weigh exactly the same as I did last year, 5.15 kilos (just over 11lb) and Dr. C said I looked good. #1 asked her about my eyes which are so often tearing, and she said it was sadly a remnant of my youth. #1 is supposed to put ointment in both my eyes for a week, but she is yet to start on this.

I was pretty tired when I got home and so I had a nice long nap:

After which I found a nice box to sit in:

My bro, Momo, likes to hang out at the window in the study upstairs:

And he likes to hang out with our woofie bro, Ollie:

Here is an Ollie close-up for you:

As for young Ryū, aside from being told off by #1 umpteen times a day for bothering Queen Tama, he has the cheek to give us lectures about how his ancestors were worshipped as gods in ancient Egypt... The nerve!

We had a pretty stormy weekend with high ends and lots of rain, so here's hoping for more clement weather in the coming days.

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: #1 has started work on her big project and so, aside from a few days in late February when she needs to go to Belgium for a training course, she says she will be chained to her desk for the next six weeks. That is fine by all of us!

These days, when I snuggle up next to #1 to help her with her work, I often have company close by:

That's fine, as long as he doesn't interfere with my time with #1.

He, Momo that is, still loves to snuggle with Ollie:

And here is Benny snuggled up with Ollie:

You'll have to take our word for it but here is Ryū having a snuggle with #1 in bed:

We wish you all a lovely and snuggly Sunday.

So long ago Saturday...

 

Rainbow Sei: #1 and I were wondering about this today's souvenir post and we thought we might do something different this week. So, here is a link to our Snuggles on Sunday post from January 19, 2014. That's 11 years ago and many of us were still at Poupounette Central. So, here is a trip down memory lane.

Did you even recognise The Big V?

Oh, and here is a pic of me from January 2014, just for fun!

Feline Friday

 

Benny: And another week comes to an end. This morning, I'm going with #1 to Dr. C's for my annual boosters. I told her I would be a good boy. I always am.

Here I am, enjoying one of my favourite locations, in the guest bathroom:

Here I am, with my bro, Momo, hanging with our woofie bro, Ollie:

A smiling Ryū!

And here is Queen Tama watching an episode of Simon's Cat with #1. Do you know Simon's Cat? It is one of our all-time favourites!

Thankful Thursday

 

Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! It's me again. I wanted to say that I was so thankful to go to Ms. C's with #1 on Tuesday. She got to play with the big horses but I got to play with my daughter Lily, Leonie, Kuma and another visitor I really like, Melba!

Isn't Melba the cutest?

Even though Kuma is only seven months old, he is already a lot bigger than all of us! But I like to think that I'm still boss for now.

In order of heads, from left to right: Me, Lily, Kuma, Leonie and Melba, getting treats from Ms. C.

#1 says it's really good for woofies to have lots of woofie friends, and I am thankful for mine!
