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 like Eric, Benny. He would join either of us in the bath. We knew to keep a hand towel within reach as he would lie on our tummies and make biscuits.
I think she should call your bluff - and draw you a bath - with bubbles of course!
H&K&W Willow PeeEssWoo: Hi Ollie - ceiling fan on - and the front & back doors were kept open overnight - and I see on 'the list' something about ceiling vents - I guess #1 is pondering the khool air machine - but NOT YET!
Oona: "Oona also enjoys playing with water from the faucet or in the dog bowls, Benny! She is less sure about an entire bathtub full of it, though ..."

ReplyDeleteYou are unique in your love for the water, Benny! Maybe #1 can put a basin the the tub for you to splash around in!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't know that cats loved water that much, Benny or maybe it's just your thing?!
ReplyDeleteBenny are you trying to find a way to get water in that bathtub?
ReplyDeleteAnd Ryu-Chan was in the background, ready to assist.
