Snuggles on Sunday!

Tama-Chan: Since he had a tough week, I told #1 that I was OK with Genji having the first photo(s) in our SoS post. And then we had friends visit yesterday afternoon who just happened to take a rather nice photo of him with #1!

And here's the funny thing: #1 was telling these friends that it was a shame the boys hadn't started snuggling together yet. But then, later that evening.....

He still of course loves to hang out with #1 best!

Sei-Chan has of course been snuggling with Tommy:

And she's been hanging out with #1 on her bed:

My Bibi has been spending time with Tommy too:

And, last but not least, I have of course been snuggling with Tommy as well!

Oh, and I mustn't forget our brother "The Big V" who is back to sharing a field with his bro, Big Tom:

Those two will be sharing winter quarters.

Wishing you all a very snuggly Sunday!

Sweet SEIturday!

Sei-Chan: It is sweet indeed this SEIturday, friends! #1 is back with us and little Genji is well over his ordeal of yesterday. We are together and it is sunny. We are planning on having a great weekend!

I have been busy since #1's return. First, I had to investigate (read TRY) the new bed (yet another one!) that she brought back for Tommy:

I had to guard #1 in her bed (and her slippers too!):

And then guard her bed after she got up, whilst basking in the sun!

As I mentioned above, little Genji is back to his usual hungry and boisterous self. In fact, here is a photo of him last night, spider-hunting with The Beebs:

Wishing you all a great weekend!

PS: Our friend BOLO over at PEI IN THE LIFE is running his annual Nosevember contest, so if you haven't had a chance yet, drop by and play!

Friends, Family & Flying Ears Friday

Tom: We took Genji in to Dr. C's at 9am this morning and I got my annual check-up and shots. I'm in great shape and even got the OK to try a little Frisbee again! We will be picking Genji up this afternoon and will add an update to the post then.

After Dr. C's, #1 and I went to visit a friend who lives nearby and who recently bought a puppy. He is a pure-bred Rotti an is now 4 months old. His name is Glasgow and he is very sweet. He was also quite well-behaved and I enjoyed playing with him!

As for family and flying ears, well, many of you already know that my niece Emily has the best flying ears ever! #1 got some good photos of her when she got back from England:

GENJI UPDATE! Our little Gen-Chan is back home from Dr. C's and has had a small meal. He is a little quiet but the other Chans and Tommy are being very nice to him.

Tama's Thankful Thursday

Tama-Chan: #1 said I could do today's post as Tuesday didn't work out. We have a lot to be thankful for today: The wonderful care that Ms. A lavished on us whilst #1 was away, the opportunity to spend time with Minnie and Emily, and of course #1's return! She came back with a car full of stuff for us. Some of you have asked to see the stash. We've had photos of the "return stash" before and it is a bit repetitive. Lots and lots of cans of cat food and pouches of dog food are not that exciting. As for our Christmas gifts, well we're not allowed to see them yet. But what we can show you is some of the treats!

Some of you already know that Dreamies is what they call Temptations in Europe. Who knows why?

And in case you were wondering, she did bring back treats for Vidock too!

I am back at my post on #1's desk:

The boys kept her company as she watched TV last night:

Tommy really enjoyed his time with his Mama, Minnie, and little Emily who hero-worships him, but he is very thankful to have his #1 back!

Little Genji is unlikely to be thankful when he realises he is getting no more food after 7pm tonight, as he is going off to be "snipped" tomorrow morning. #1 is planning to feed him a giant meal at 6:55pm and he will then be confined to the back room. She says she might spend the night with him so he doesn't get lonely.

Wonderful Wednesday!

She's back! She's back! SHE'S BACK! And she says it was a real treat to return to four cats and THREE dogs!!! Minnie, Emily and Ms. A are going home today and we will be very busy snuggling and purring! As promised, the car was full of goodies for us. She says it's going to be quite a job to find space to store everything!

#1 needs to catch up with her photo-taking, so we have just two shots for today, with The Beebs and Genji as the "Chan" representatives:

(bottom of picture are The Beebs and Minnie), Tommy is on the right and Emily on the left)

Time on Tuesday

Tommy: Today is Tuesday and is the day our #1 returns! So, we will all be spending time this afternoon by the door craning our necks to see if we can spot her coming!

Hurry home, #1!

Manly Monday

Bibi-Chan: The Beebs here, eagerly awaiting #1's return tomorrow evening. In the meantime, I am guarding her shoes:

and looking after that little brother of mine...

Genji submitted this photo:

As for Tommy and Vidock, they sent in the following:

Tommy's been having such a great time showing off for his "girls". As for Vidock, he would like to know if you like his smile...
