Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

 

Rainbow Sei: Hello everyone! I'm back again, a mere two weeks after my last post. That's pretty good going, isn't it? In fact, #1 got her act together and found nice pics to share, and here I am to share them with you.

I will start today's selection with this nice one of Queen Tama and Yuu-Chan in the cat run back in 2010:


Next is one of Yuu-Chan and me, sitting on the radiator in the study. That one also dates back to 2010.


And since you can't really see my face, here is another of me, this one from 2014!


Moving right along, next we have Tommy and Sen-Chan from way back in 2008:


And here is Tommy, with his pal, Fernant, back in 2017.


This next one goes a really long way back, showing the first among us, Ikkyu, travelling first class in 1997: 


This week, we also want to feature our cousin, Tora-Chan, who lived with Mr.G and family before joining us at the Bridge:


Next is sweet Genji who says he really misses snuggling with #1:


And not forgetting the one and only Beebs:


We also have our beautiful Hotesse, from 2008:


And our outdoor kitty, Trav, from 2016:


I shall close this week's post with one more of me and Da Beebs, taken in 2014:


I hope you enjoyed this week's very full post! I hope to be back again soon.

Fame on Friday!

 

#1 here. Over the past few weeks, both Ryū and Momo have been featured in a fun French Facebook page called Tu Peux Pas Comprendre, T'es Pas Un Chat (You can't understand, you're not a cat). They ask for fun photos and then add their own stories/captions to them.

Ryū's had him waiting to ambush someone. No surprises there!


The back story beyond Momo's photo was more unusual. In it, he is a mancat whose pregnant lady love sends him out into the snow to hunt, as she has a very specific craving!


It's a very fun page and we always enjoy their posts. The admins of course have their own kitties, including a very naughty black kitten, called Papouce, with his very own page which you will find here.

Thankful Thursday

 

Ryū-Chan: Hello, everyone! Dragon Boy here! Today, I (and everyone else here) am grateful that our heating and hot water are on. It turned out to be a fairly easy fix and there was mercifully nothing wrong with the boiler. We certainly had a scare, though! Thanks for all the words of support!

And now I can go back to looking for trouble having fun!

Woofie Wednesday


Ollie: Woofs everyone. I have good news and not so good news today. The good news is that the neighbours are away and I can run over there until Friday. The not so good news is that we're having electrical issues and the circuit on which our boiler runs is out. So, no heating... We do have some additional devices we can use and, mercifully, it's nowhere near as cold here as where some of you live, but we're crossing our paws and fingers that it will be easy and cheap to fix as we can't afford major repairs right now.

In the interim, I have some more outdoorsy pics of me to share!

Tama-Chan Tuesday - The Rainbow Queen

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Hello, Dear Friends! Even though I now reside at the Bridge, it is so nice to keep doing my weekly Tuesday post for a while longer! Thank you for reading, and I hope you are enjoying my weekly retrospective of my years at Poupounette Central. In today's post, we will cover the period from 2013 until the end of 2015, after my seventh birthday. Once again, there are quite a few photos, so do sit back and relax!

Like so many others, I used to like to sit in the basket above #1's desk and watch her work:


When the weather warmed up, the cat run was always the place to be!


I was never a huge box fun but I did give them a whirl occasionally!


I was always known for my beautiful eyes...


But I looked pretty cute in repose too!


The early years of dangling:


And always good at catching sunpuddles!


This was a glorious period at Poupounette Central, with all of us young, healthy and happy! The next batch of pictures is from 2014. The first one shows me, my sister Sei, and my son Bibi all enjoying the sofa.


Friends in New Zealand had sent us a kiwi plush toy and I laid claim to it.


I always enjoyed my sister Sei's company. Here we are, waiting for treats.


I began to work more seriously on my dangling:



And finding the best sunpuddles to nap in!


Whilst also enjoying the fresh air


I am at the back in this next one, observing my son, Bibi. One of the nice things about being at the Bridge is being reunited with all of my kits and getting to know them better.


Snuggling with #1 was already an important part of my life, this on my 6th birthday:


And as another year drew to a close, I was always available to help #1 with her wine selections:


2015 was another great year, with me looking lovelier than ever!


Coming to get you!


Back then, when I was a young thing, I too enjoyed the sky hammock in the study!


And #1 would occasionally let me sit in the enclosed porch at the front door:


As my seventh birthday approached, I enjoyed life to the fullest:




A nice glowbat portrait:


Blissed out in the sun:



And to conclude this episode of my reminiscences, one of me playing with a lovely feather toy I was gifted that Christmas:

Manly Monday With Momo


Momo-Chan: Happy Monday, Everyone! It's me, Fluff Puff, back once again with some swoon-worthy pics of us boys. And this week, I would like to start with one of our woofie brother, Ollie:


Next is one of me at my ablutions. As you can imagine, it takes a lot of effort and dedication to keep myself quite this fluffy!


As you know, it is not easy to photograph black kitties, but #1 has been doing a pretty good job recently with Benny The Black!


And, as you witnessed yesterday, our little Dragon, Ryū-Chan, likes heights, so here is enjoying one of the sky hammocks in the study.


And that's all I have for you today. Wishing you all a good week!
