Rainbow Sei's Souvenir Saturday

Rainbow Sei: Greetings, everyone! I hope you have all been well. I miss you all. I heard there was some serious excitement at Poupounette Central this past week. I was sorry to miss it. I caught #1 talking about me with our visitor several times, but she didn't realise I was there!

So, here is the first regular Souvenir Saturday post, and may I kick it off with a couple of kitten pics of me? These will show you just how very useful I was to #1 when she worked, even from the time I was tiny:

 

Sen-Chan is the big brother I never met. He now tells me that he was seriously into toys, so here are a couple of his kitten pics with some favourite toys: 

 

Yuu-Chan was so sweet and also a little goofy. He could actually get away with absolutely anything, as can be seen in these two kitten pics of his:

 

Yes, that is ham!

We don't have any kitten pics of Trav, and we have many fewer pics of him in general than of the rest of us, but we thought we would start with this unusual photo that #1 took from her study, where you can see his markings:

Feline Friday

Da Beebs: We actually have had a few sunpuddles over the past days. We are convinced that Claire of The Swiss Cats brought them with her!

So, here are a few sunny pics for you!

 

#1 caught Genji in the cat run:

 

 

And here is Tama on her favourite cat tree, the one in the kitchen: 

Thankful "Thwiss" Thursday!

Da Genj: Mee-Yow, Everyone. I am extra happy to be the one to tell you all about our visitor who arrived on Tuesday all the way from... Switzerland! Yes, it is Claire from The Swiss Cats who has been staying with us, and we have loved having her here! She braved both a strike by the airline and by the French railways, and managed to get to us on Tuesday, and we are most thankful to her. We are also thankful for the great toys and treats she brought with her. Sadly, she is leaving us today, but we hope she comes again soon!

Here are a few photos from her stay. Let's start with the awesome welcome she received:

 

As you can imagine, I gave her quite the welcome! 

 

Queen Tama was happy to see her too!

 

And supervised her exploration of the cat run:

 

Da Beebs was also there to make sure all was good:

 

And she played with me with the Cat Dancer!

 

And yesterday afternoon, she got to meet and ride Miss Violette!

 

 We really enjoyed Claire's visit and are sorry to see  her go. We hope she will come back again soon!

Woofie Wednesday

Tommy: We have the most wonderful visitor who has come to visit all the way from....? All will be revealed in tomorrow's post! In the meantime, I had lots more fun in the field with my old friend, Canelle, her daughter Effie, and of course Mad Fernant whose cousins they are:

 

 

 See you tomorrow!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

Tama-Chan: It is Tuesday again and it has been raining on and off almost all the time since my last Tuesday post... We get the occasional break in the clouds and a few sunpuddles but, mostly, it's rain, rain and more rain. And it is still pretty cold for the season. We have had enough! I, Queen Tama, am seriously displeased. And I am wondering whether I should sulk.

 

But #1 reminded me that I am far too cute to sulk. So, I shall look queenly instead:

 

And I shall think back on some of the all too brief sunpuddles we had:

 

And share with you the one dangle shot #1 managed to get. It's a pretty good dangle, I think, and there was even a hint of sun! 

 

Now, if all goes according to plan, we will have some serious visitor excitement here today and tomorrow. We will keep you posted!

Manly Monday

Da Beebs: May I be of service to you, #1?

No. I will not annoy my Mama Tama in her sunpuddle. I know better than that!

 

Da Genj: Now that I am 7 and a big boy,  I told #1 I want to go on a ride on Violette.

 

I can always dream, right?

 

Tommy: I saw an old friend the other day. Canelle (Cinnamon) and I played together when we were pretty young pups. She is a cousin of Fernant's and I hadn't seen her in years! 

 

The weather has been really changeable, and the fields are pretty soggy, but #1 and I are still managing to get out regularly:

The Big V: Remotely posting from Hampshire. Here I am getting my daily delivery of hay (by horse-drawn vehicle, of course!):

#1 is coming to see me again in mid-April. She has promised me lots of apples and carrots!

Snuggles on Sunday

Tama-Chan: Greetings, Dear Friends, and welcome to our Snuggles on Sunday. We would like to wish a Happy Easter to those who celebrate. We are spending a quiet weekend at Poupounette Central, hoping for a few sunpuddles in the midst of much rain.

Thank you for all the lovely good wishes for a out little blue terror yesterday. The best gift of all is the one that was sent by Sei-Chan:

 

I spent time, as usual, with my Tommy:

 

My Beebs went in more for bedtime snuggling with #1:

 And getting his ears rubbed!

 He also snuggled with Tommy:

 

Sorry about the photo being a tad dark, but here is #1 with Da Genj:

 

We did not get any fresh Violette snuggle pics this week, but #1 did meet a young Percheron she rather liked, and Ms. C snapped a nice pic!

 

His name is "Charm"! Wouldn't you know?!

Last but not least, this is not a snuggle pic, obviously, but somebody clearly loves #1!

 

We are not telling! 

Wishing you all a Snuggly Sunday!
