Tama-Chan Tuesday


Tama-Chan: Greetings, Dear Friends. We are still not quite settled into our browser move. For some reason, Firefox will not let us comment on certain blogspot blogs using our Google account, or even as an anonymous commenter, but we can do so with other blogspot blogs. If anyone else has had this problem and solved it, we would love to hear from you!

In the meantime, I have started the year with a new head dangle in the hammock!


But let's face it, this is not the season for great sporting achievements. It is the season for lots of cozy naps!


Although... the other day, #1 found a dead cock pheasant in the big field. As it had already crossed the Bridge, she decided it would gladly bestow its sumptuous tail feathers on us kitties, so she came home with them. I simply cannot resist a pheasant feather, can you?


By the way, when she first saw the pheasant in the field, she was very worried because there has been a gorgeous pheasant hanging around our garden lately, and she wondered if it might be him. But when she came back home, she saw our guy, looking hale and hearty!

#1 is abandoning us today to go into Paris to have lunch with her cousins, but we told her it would be OK as she will be back by late afternoon. Tommy is spending the day with Damia.

Manly Monday


Tomaso: We are late in posting today! The Safari web browser we usually use on our desktop Mac has had a fit and is no longer viable, so we are doing this via the laptop as we transfer our bookmarks to Chrome on the desktop.

Anyway, all is well at Poupounette Central. We thought we would start by showing you our great sign, a Christmas gift by Ms. S and Mr. E, which is now in place!


The sunpuddles are now gone and it's been warm and grey and rainy the past couple of days, but here are some nice shots from when it was icy and crisp!


#1 says I look like a hare in this next one!



Vidock: #1 has been coming to see us almost every day, so we Vs have been doing really well on treats. In exchange, here are a couple of nice portraits of me!




Genji: #1 was very amused by this photo of me. She says I lo like a vulture...


Here is one of me and Da Beebs having a great time with our new Ess:


Da Beebs: #1 has failed to take a suitable portrait of me for this Manly Monday so I am resorting to my usual trump card, a baby picture!


I was about five weeks old in that picture.

Snuggles on Sunday


Tama-Chan: Now where to start? We have two weeks' worth of snuggling to share with you and it's not going to be easy to group everything for this post. So, please bear with me.

I think I shall start with myself as I know where to locate my own snuggle pics. Here I am snuggling with my Tommy:


And a little snuggle with my #1:




Here is Sei-Chan being a bit of a copycat...


And here she is with Tommy:



Here is my Beebs coming at #1 from under her desk for a snuggle!


And in the more traditional bedtime snuggle mode:


Here is Da Genj having a Christmas snuggle with one of #1's cousins:


And in an unusual undercover snuggle with #1:


He usually prefers his snuggles face-to-face…


And Tommy having a Christmas snuggle with #1:


#1 really loves this picture of herself snuggling with Violette:


And here is a funny one of The Big V coming in for a smooch!


We hope you enjoyed al of today's snuggling. We love them!

SEIturday?


Se-Chan: WHAT? It's SEIturday already?  I am feeling totally discombobulated with all these holidays mid-week, and completely losing track of which day is which. So you actually caught me napping this time…


I hope you like the show of pink toes!

I have been doing some supervising in the kitchen:


And I did find a few lovely sunpuddles last week:


But I confess to a lot of napping on the mat on that wonderful radiator in the living room…


Since we didn't do one last week, we are having a mega Snuggles on Sunday post tomorrow, so please stop by!

Family Friday


Da Beebs: Phew! The festivities are finally over and we are all quite exhausted. Here is a fun photo we wanted to share with you. It is one of those rare ones where we are all in the same room, and in this case, all snoozing! Can you find us all?


It's probably a bit hard as the photo is not very big. Sei-Chan is on the radiator on the right. You can see Tommy on his sofa on the left and I am on a soft cushion on the back of the sofa. Mama Tama is on the red blankie on the other sofa, and Da Genj is above her, on the back of the sofa.

And here is a bonus photo of me and my Mama Tam. It is quite rare to see us that close together without hissing (she does the hissing…).

HAPPY NEW YEAR!


To all of our friends, wherever you may be, we wish you health, joy, snuggles and treats throughout 2015. It is the Year of the Sheep, according to the Japanese (The Chinese call it the year of the goat), and here is our somewhat traditional Japanese New Year card to share with you:


To celebrate this new year, we have decided to share some of our favourite portraits from 2014 with you:
