Momo-Chan: As you know, I love to spend time up in the study, even though #1 mostly works downstairs these days.

Tama-Chan: We are a little late in posting today for which we apologise. We have had a good week of snuggles and have some nice photos to share.
I think I'll start with this nice one of Momo and Ollie having a morning snuggle:
We all know that Ollie is a bit of a kitty magnet and here are a couple of him and Benny snuggling:
Rainbow Sei: Hello from all of us at The Bridge. I am glad to say it has been a quieter week this week. So, I've had time to inspire #1 regarding today's post, and we decided that it would be nice to do something a little different.
This week, we thought it would be nice to honour our Trav. For those of you who don't know him "The Traveller" turned up one day in the spring of 2015, bearing a strange resemblance to a cat who had been adopted by our neighbours as a stray kitten and has since gone to The Bridge. He was a big boy, older, entire, and battle-hardened, but obviously tired of the life he had been leading. He initially found solace on an old mattress our other neighbour had put on top of an old car in his open shed. #1 started to feed him, initially near that mattress, and then gradually luring him to the back of our garage where she had made a nest of straw for him. He was totally feral and #1 never got closer to him than few feet, but he quickly understand that his food would now come regularly in two daily meals, and where to find it. He had a dry and safe place to sleep during the winter. In all, he was "with us" for about 15 months. He then disappeared for a few days and #1 eventually found him at the back of our garage. He had clearly suffered a saddle thrombus as he was paralysed in the back legs, but he had managed to drag himself back to the only home he had ever known. He was clearly in pain, and would not eat. #1 did the only thing she could. She managed to grab him and took him to a local vet to send him on his way to The Bridge. He was a precious member of the Poupounette, and #1 had him cremated separately, with his ashes kept inside the home he never knew. Here are a few photos of him whilst he was with us.
Trav is now very much part of our gang at The Bridge and is rather sorry he never learned to snuggle with #1. One day...
Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! I hope you are all well and enjoying the coming of spring. I am shedding like crazy and #1 gave me some serious brushies yesterday. It felt so good! Afterwards, she took some of my hairs home with her to put out for the birdies in nest building!
Anyneigh, are you wondering why I get a post all to myself today? It's because I am a CHAMPION!!! In January, #1 entered a bunch of photos in a monthly competition on a FB page called "Online Showing For the Every Day Horse Fanatic". They have different classes each month and in January, they had a "Winter" class. #1 decided to submit this photo of me and Ms. C, taken a few years back:
Ollie: We are all thankful that #1 is safely back from Orléans. She has a bit of a cold so she was a little worried, but she took some great TCM she had and it really helped.
I am thankful that Queen Tama has inspired me to try my paw at dangling! This picture is courtesy of Mr. G.
Tama-Chan: When he came to tea with Ms. N last Saturday, Mr. G asked me if he could do a special photo shoot of me. Of course, I said yes and then posed really nicely for him. I am quite pleased with the results and hope you enjoy them too!
As you can imagine, it was a lot of hard work and so I had to have a little nap afterwards:
As it is Tuesday, #1 is heading off to Orléans again today. Can't wait for her return tomorrow afternoon!
