Totally Dragon Tuesday!

 

Ryū-Chan: Hello everyone, and Happy September! I have lots of different favourite sleeping spots but I have recently tended to favour the cup in our newish cat tree. #1 took a series of me sleeping there the other day and she says they make for fun viewing. Do you think she was laughing at me?


"Shake it to the left"

"Aim for the sky!"

"Oh! What have we here?"

"A left-ear malfunction, mayhap?"

Harumphhhhhhh. One can't even nap in peace anymore...

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: #1 tells me it's my day again, and so I, Fluff Puff, am on duty to deliver a post showing off all the gorgeous boys of The Poupounette. To be honest, at the moment, we only have one girl, the lovely Miss Violette, but we are all looking forward to the arrival of our new Queen in the autumn. In the meantime, let's enjoy this last day of August (so #1 tells me) with some gorgeous pics of gorgeous boys.

I shall start with myself and this nice capture by #1 of me in one of the sky hammocks:


She also caught me on the stairs and said I looked cute.


Next we have a couple of nice ones of my big bro, Benny The Black looking very regal:



Followed by my little bro, Dragon Ryū. He does love to hang out in that cubbyhole!



Our woofie bro, Ollie, has a special guest this week. He and #1 went to visit the horses yesterday and Mr. R, big brother to Ms L and Ms. T, was there with his new puppy. His name is Blanco. He is four and a half months old, and a cross between a Lab and a Jack Russell Terrier! He is very sweet and full of puppy energy! The girls have nicknamed him Moonpie.




Last but not least is our biggest bro, The Big V! He he is coming over for his apples and carrots:


We wish you all a very good week.

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: Greetings from you host, Benny The Black! With last week's post exclusively devoted to our woofie bro, Ollie, we kitties are eager to show you our snuggles this Sunday. Let me kick off with myself taking full advantage of #1's lap:


As you know, my bro, Fluff Puff Momo and I snuggle together quite a bit. Here are a few pics from the last few days:




And, as you also know, Momo loves to hang out with Ollie too!



Of course, Dragon Ryū has also become something of a champion snuggler of late. Here he is on #1's bed:



And I was nearby too!


By the way, #1 visited our Miss Heloise a couple of days ago, and she sends everyone a big smooch!

Saturday Sweetness

 

#1 here. I thought it was high time we did another update on little NOURA for everyone. She has completely recovered from her episode of Parvovirus and is now back in the kitten room at the shelter. She has now received the all-important rabies vaccination and is waiting for the requisite number of days to pass for a blood sample to be taken for a titer test. So, we are getting there. At this stage, we are hoping that she will be able to join us in October. In the meantime, we have some recent photos and videos sent to us by Animals Lebanon. And for those of you who know/follow American rescue Tabby's Place, they recently received a whole bunch of cats from Lebanon for rehoming.

Friday Fangs

 

Dragon Ryū: #1 says that I have the cutest fangs she has ever seen...

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny The Black: Today, I would like to share with you how thankful I am that #1 has placed a couple of towels strategically on the table, just behind her computer, so I can be comfortable when I nap there as she works:


You may be wondering why I think those towels were put there specifically for me? Well, take a look!


Thank you, #1!

Wednesday Whinnies

 

The Big V: #1 came to visit us on Sunday and, at first, she couldn't find us! We weren't at our usual spot at the gate. She looked left, she looked right, she called us.... nothing! so, she and Ollie came into our field and started looking. They eventually found us!


There are lots of great places to hide here! With the little bit of rain we hav ehad, there was some new grass growing, and we were enjoying that!

But we followed #1 back to the gate as we knew she had treats! Here is Miss Violette:


The two of us like to hang out together these days:


Life is always more fun when you have a pal!

Toesday!

 

Ryū-Chan: Your favourite Dragon here! #1 got a couple of nice pics where you can see my perfect shiny coffee bean toes, and so she said I can host today's post. Look!



Abyssinian toe colours vary according to our coat colour. I have a ruddy (called usual in the UK) coat, so I have coffee bean toes. Sen-Chan, Sei-Chan and Yuu-Chan were all sorrel Abys and they had pink pawpads, whereas Genji was a blue Aby and had lavender-coloured ones.

My bro Benny has the following message: "My name is Benny The Black" and so my pawpads are black too!"


It's pretty hard to get close-ups of Momo, so this is the best we can do to show you his pink pawpads:

Manly Monday With Momo


 Momo-Chan: Hello everyone! It's me, Fluff Puff, back with another round of perfect shots of us perfect boys. In fact, I have a video to share with you of me and my bro, Dragon Ryū, enjoying a mighty tussle. #1 says she is sorry she did not manage to catch the later one when we were both turning somersaults as we tussled, but this one is pretty cool too!


I have to tell you that I sometimes think my bro, Benny The Black, is a bit strange... He took a real shine to Mr. G's sandals the other day!


The Big V was pretty pleased because #1 brought him his favourite treats, "Stud Muffins", from England!


Ollie is enjoying running in his fields even more now that the temperatures have come down!


Wishing you all a very good week!

Snuggles on Sunday - The Ollie Edition!

 

Benny The Black: Hello, Dear Friends, and welcome to a special edition of SoS, featuring our woofie bro, Ollie? Why, do you ask, is he being featured like this? Well, on Friday, when we celebrated #1's birthday, we had at Poupounette Central all of his most favourite people and he had an amazing evening of snuggled with them all! We wanted to feature photos from that evening. Please note that many of the pics were taken by Mr. G which is why he doesn't feature in many. As for #1, well she's just "the usual" so she doesn't come into that equation.

Sleepy Saturday

 

Dragon Ryū: We all partied hard last night to celebrate #1's birthday, as well as that of Tommy at The Bridge, so we are in recovery mode today. I have selected the cup in our cat tree for  my nap. Come join us tomorrow for a special SoS post featuring Ollie!

Friday Flights - TOMMY!

 

The Flights we are referring to in the title to today's post are flights of memory. You see, today is #1's birthday but it was also Tommy's birthday. He shared a birthday with #1 which is one of the reasons why she even went to look at that litter in the first place. He was born on August 21, 2007 (#1 was a few years before that...) and for the next 11 years, he and #1 celebrated their birthdays together. We looked through our photo archives, as we do every year,  to see what photos we could find of those joint celebrations. Aside from 2012 and 2013, when #1 was in Canada on that date, we have pictures of the B'Day duo together for each year!
