Tama-Chan Tuesday - The Rainbow Queen

 

 Rainbow Queen Tama: Hello Dear Friends. I'm back again, as promised. I must tell you that this Rainbow Bridge is a lovely place. So many friends, and all of us young and healthy again! I am sad at having had to leave #1 but I know she understands that the time had come. So, as promised, here I am to tell you more about my life, especially my early years. This post will cover my second year with #1, a year that was very rich in many things. There are a lot of photos, so I hope you are sitting comfortably.

After I had celebrated my first birthday, I continued to enjoy life at Poupounette Central, starting with snuggles with #1:

And lazy days in the cat run where I had my very own basket:

It was the life of a queen.

And the start of my dangling.

Then, right at the start of October, I was whisked off for what turned out to be a romantic rendez-vous! I met the gorgeous Boukhara who was a real gentleman (sort of):

I then returned to Poupounette Central and thought that was that. I basked in the cat run:

I hung out with Tommy and my sister-Sei-Chan:

I was prettier than ever:

But... by mid-November, I noticed that my previously slim waistline was growing, and growing!!!

And then look what happened on December 4th! It turned out to be a little complicated, and Dr. C had to do a Caesarian on me. So, I had a naked tummy and four hungry kits (three boys and one girl)!!!

#1 had prepared special quarters for us, away from Tommy, Sei-Chan and Yuu-Chan. There, I was able to focus 100% on raising my kittens, with full support from #1.

They grew fast and were constantly after the milk bar!

By February, I was getting a little tired of it all...

#1, in a show of recognition of my efforts, put a diamond and platinum collar on me one day!

This is my son, Bibi. He was a devious little thing and decided early he was staying right there. Can you believe the nerve?

The bestest day that month was when the kittens had their first round of shots and my Tommy was allowed in the kittening room! I was so thrilled to see him!

The little scamps took advantage of this to hit the milk bar!

I'd done my job and it was now time for them to leave and me to get my life back.

I was back in the cat run with my sister Sei:

And just enjoying life:

And so I celebrated my second birthday on August 2, 2010, with many, many treats!

And that, Dear Friends completes my account of my second year at Poupounette Central.
