Fair zu Pfoten Award

We are not finalist for Nose-to-Nose Awards, but we are proud and happy to have received the Fair zu Pfoten Award on behalf of the Hermit. He asked us three questions :

What animals do live at your home, or of what animals do you take care ?
We are two cats, and we live with two humans. Claire always lived with cats.
How did you receive animals, or where do they come from ?
We adopted our humans while we were still kittens (Zorro at the beginning of 2013, and Pixie at the middle 2014). We met them thanks to common acquaintances.
Are you vegan or vegetarian ?
Oh no, that would make us feel sick ! We are cats after all… But we appreciate some fresh grass from time to time.

Keep your pet safe

The nice people from Wayfair realized the infographic below which presents several tips to improve the safety of cats (and dogs) at home, outside, or on travel. We chose to share it with you because we like it :

Have a good week !

A fantastic weekend

Our buddy Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny was the luckiest during our giveaway. That made us laugh to see that Rafflecopter chose his name on Friday, because not long ago, it’s us who had luck on his blog.

Concatulations, Speedy ! The tea of your human will have even better taste in the pretty mug you chose for her.

The sun shone bright on Saturday. It was a magnificent day for the flower market of the village.

Claire did not come back empty-handed…

While she planted gerania, I had a good earth bath before doing a small garden tour.

I even bump into a ~~snack~~ ~~toy~~ lizard.

I hope that you also spent a fantastic weekend !

Can we ask you for some purrs for Momo ? He’s going to be operated tomorrow to remove the screws he has in the foot and to free his nerve below the knee so that it can continue to regenerate and to get back its functions (flexion of the foot). We hope that everything goes well. For those who know us for less than two years, it’s still the consequences of the serious accident Momo had in December, 2014.

Who is the mom you celebrate on Mother’s Day ?

Who is this mom you celebrate on Mother’s Day ? Is it your biological mother ? In most of the cases, the answer is yes. But not always. Some children do not know their mother and are adopted. And others sometimes have to break up with a toxic mother: it is difficult, it is brave, and this act is still a taboo in our society. This, it’s the little bit soft-bitter side of this particular day.

A mom makes you feel at the same time happy, loved, confident, and safe. And sometimes, by a fortunate coincidence, an extraordinary person enters the life of one of these children and makes him feel happy, loved, confident, and safe, even if he is already an adult. This, it’s pawsome !
