Retrospective 2019

On this New Year’s Eve Day, it’s the last moment to look back and review the past year.

In January, we took part in the Pet Blogger Challenge to help our new readers get to know us better.

The month of February was exceptionally hot, one would have thought it was already spring.

Claire was very eager to see the month of March arrive : in fact, #1 of the Poupounette Gang was coming to Switzerland, and they managed to find time to meet !

We welcomed Mimosa in mid-April ; its arrival was particularly appreciated by Momo.

Our friend Bibi got his wings in May ; we lost several friends during the year, and we keep them in our hearts, but Bibi was special to us because Claire had personally hugged him during her visit to the Poupounette Gang in 2018.

End of school year of madness as usual, and first episode of heat wave : June was hot, very hot.

On the heat side, the month of July was no exception : after a pleasant start, a second heat wave struck us shortly after Claire started her vacation.

Claire and Momo took advantage of their holidays in August to play tourists and visit Lucerne, and to catify the house a bit.

In September, we received a surprise package from Basil & the B-Team. It was totally unexpected, and we enjoyed it a lot !

We had a beautiful fall in October.

The month of November was studious : Claire took a course on cat intelligence, and one on developing balanced household rations to feed us (we’ll talk about it next year).

What happiness in December ! We were pleased to introduce you to the book Pet Blogging for Love and Money, a book that any blogger should own. We received two beautiful packages, one from our Secret Paws and the other from our friends at Poupounette Gang (we will also talk about this next year).

Dear readers, dear blogging friends, thank you all for your love, support, and continued friendship this past year. This community of pet bloggers is wonderful, and we are fortunate and proud to be a part of it. We wish you a very happy 2020 !

A package for Christmas

Every year, a gift exchange is organized in the Cat Blogosphere (thanks Paula !), and this year, we were lucky to receive a package from a new friend : Mr Breeze.

PIXIE : What is this thing ? A telescope ? A fishing rod ? A scroll ? Let’s see… Oh, it’s our package for Secret Paws ! Come on, Zorro !

ZORRO : Zzzzzz….

PIXIE : Never mind, I’ll open it without you ! I can’t see anything, but it looks very full. How did they put all this in this tiny tube ? I have just the place to put my paw in it to catch… a crinkle ball ! And another one ! And another toy !

PIXIE : This one’s too irresistible, I can’t wait !

PIXIE : There are two crinkle balls, a bright mouse, and a little fish that have a lot of effect on me, I admit. There are also… ah, are you waking up, Zorro ?

ZORRO : Slurp, slurp, you’ve drooled on it before, but it’s true that this little fish is irresistible !

ZORRO : I like that straw, too.

ZORRO & PIXIE : But for action, nothing beats Da Bird !

Many thanks to Mr Breeze and his human Leslie !

Merry Christmas to you all !

Christmas is coming

The garden is illuminated, and inside, our little tree is finally decorated.

This weekend, it smelled good all over the house : Claire made a first series of delicious cookies that are going to be offered on Monday.

Of course we supervised the operations !
