Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Greetings, Dear Friends, and welcome to our weekly love-fest, although.... we haven't done very well on the photo-taking this week... I do have a nice pic taken with Mr. R, Mr. G's Dad, last Sunday:

But I do also have a little treat for you. This is the very first snuggle pic of me and #1! It was taken when I was 5 weeks old, back in 2008!

And I thought it would be nice to tie in with yesterday's souvenir post. You see, when I arrived at Poupounette Central, in October 2008, it was Sen-Chan who looked after me:

And when Sen-Chan very suddenly went to the Bridge in early January, 2009, Tommy took up where he left off and brought me much-needed comfort:

I still miss both of them. I am so thankful that I have #1 I can still snuggle with.

This week, we also have a pic of Mr. R snuggling with Benny:

And Benny and Ollie snuggled up to #1 on the bed one afternoon:

Shortly thereafter, Ryū-Chan arrived to claim his share of snuggles. Here he is, literally in #1's face!

This last one is not a snuggle pic per se, but it's a lovely shot of brotherly togetherness, as Momo and Benny enjoyed lizard watching at the window!

Wishing you a lovely and snuggly Sunday!

Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

 

Rainbow Sei: Hello Everyone. I hope you have all been doing well. At the Bridge, of course, we are all always in great shape and enjoy days full of sunpuddles and treats! Anymiaow, this week's souvenir post is going to take us way back, to those who started this blog and before.

The blog was started in June 2008 by a red Abyssinian kitty called Sen-Chan...

And a liver and white Springer Spaniel called Tommy:

The two were the very best of friends:

And they made 2008 into a very special year for #1 in so many ways:

You see, 2007 had been a tough year for her as she had lost her long-time companion, her very first Aby, Ikkyu

Sen-Chan and Tommy filled the house with love again, and made #1 smile. Those are wonderful things to remember.

Frootbat Friday

 

Benny: Happy Friday, Everyone! Benny The Black reporting with a post in which we feature  some of our wonderful ears! In the heyday of blogging, many years ago, Frootbat Friday was quite widespread but it has fallen into disuse recently and we think that is such a shame! Frootbat Friday was originally started by two Siamese cats called Kaze and Latte. They had awesome ears, and we at Poupounette Central joined in. So, without further ado, here is my own set of frootbats, as captured by #1:

Being an Abyssinian, Queen Tama has wonderful frootbats, and she has upped the ante with yet another fabulous "Globat" shot:

And needless to say, Ryū-Chan has his own set of outstanding frootbats:

That leaves our little Fluff Puff, Momo, and we think his very pink frootbats are pretty cute!

We hope you enjoyed our post, with its dose of blogging nostalgia. Before we go... Kaze and Latte stopped blogging years ago and they have now both gone to the Rainbow Bridge but there's a new girl at their pad. Her name is Ember and she has awesome frootbats too!

Thankful Thursday with Ryū

 

Ryū-Chan: Miaows Everyone! Your favourite little dragon here! We're pretty late in posting today. #1 ended up being distracted by other things. The thing that we are all most thankful for at the moment is the sunpuddles! The weather has been beautiful and the temps are now finally warming up too.

Here is a pic taken by Mr. G last week:

And here I am, soaking up the sun in the cat run!

Oh and guess what? I have a birthday coming up soon. I'll be two whole years old on April 14th!

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! Ollie here. I wanted to tell you that I am doing really well. I am enjoying my long walks with #1 and limping much less than before. When we leave the house, I always say hi to Gaston next door if he is outside. His owners are idiots but he's a nice guy.

The other day, we met this dog and thought he was a Springer Spaniel, like me, but it turned out that he is a Small Munsterlander, a German Spaniel breed. #1 had never seen one in real life before, so she was happy to meet him, and I was too!

#1 has a tendency to cheat on me when she goes out and yesterday was a doozy. She went to visit some friends who had recently adopted a pit bull puppy. Lenny was the runt of the litter and will probably remain small. #1 said he is one of the sweetest dogs she has ever met. Her friends frisked her and searched the car before she left...

That toy was a gift from me!

Lenny is six months old.

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends and welcome to the month of April! Being a dignified older lady, I will not be playing any tricks on you. Count yourselves lucky that those crazy boys are not doing today's post!

The sun has come out and is supposed to stay with us for at least a week, so we are looking forward to many sunpuddles. #1 did catch a rather good, and mysterious,  Globats pic of me the other day:

When #1 is at the computer, typing, I make sure that her hand moves correctly:

#1 says that I still win first prize when it comes to looking cute!

I am like fine wine. I just get better and better!

See you next week, everyone!

Momo's Manly Monday

 

Momo-Chan: Welcome to our weekly post where boys are the best they can be! And we have some very fine specimens here at Poupounette Central!

I had a great birthday celebration on Friday and then yesterday, Mr. G and family came for lunch, which was great. Mr. G had his camera, of course!

You can see all three of us, me, Fluff Puff, Benny the Black, and Dragon Ryū, in this one, even though it's a little blurry:

Here is Benny pre-washing the dessert bowls:

Ryū in the window hammock:

And a nice portrait of Woofie Ollie:

We hope you all have a great week!
