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.
Ryū-Chan: I think you know by now that I am not just very busy but also very sporting and athletic. So, here I am perched on the high oak beams which have a rather spectacular drop beneath them. IT'S FUN!
You are very daring, Ryu!
ReplyDeleteWow!! I can't imagine how you got there! Very cool little guy!!
ReplyDeleteLove the beams in your home, Ryu, and they make a fun playground but be careful!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! Every cat would love to have that place to climb up to.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Ryu . Linda
ReplyDeleteThat might be fun for you, but it looks scary to me. Be careful getting down from there, Ryu.
ReplyDeleteYou sure do like your adventures in high places!
