2016 retrospective

After two years rather agitated, we appreciated a quiet and “normal” year 2016.

Everything was white with snow in January.

In February, there was no snow anymore, it was all gone.

In March, Claire and Momo offered us our new enclosure.
Claire uses Twitter in her class, and a journalist of the radio came to interview her at school (in French). She also led a workshop on the use of Twitter in class in another school.

In April, Claire forgot the fourth anniversary of our blog, but fortunately, our friend Timmy remembered it himself.

In May, we transitioned to raw food. Momo was operated at the beginning of the month (still…) so that his recovery can continue in the best conditions (for our new readers, go to see why here).

In June, Claire and her colleagues presented the most fabulous of all times school show on the occasion of the inauguration of the new college.

On July 30th, the village celebrated the 90th anniversary of its college (no more used since the 80s), and August 1st (national holiday) the next day.

The old boiler was replaced in August : phew ! We have toasty paws this winter.

Autumn was quiet and sunny. Claire attended several fascinating courses about cats in September, October and November : what is a cat, games and activities, food and food balance.

In December, Momo was able to increase his working time to 50 % : incredible, right ? It is pawsome !
We participated in the Advent calendar of Tierblogger, and in Secret Paws of the Cat Blogosphere ; Spitty was very happy to receive our package, but we’re still waiting for ours. We also received many greetings cards and kind messages, thank you friends !

We are delighted to see you again next year, and already wish you an excellent year 2017 !

That’s how it was at our house

We hope that you spent a merry Christmas or a merry Hannukah. We spent a wonderful Christmas, quite simple, as a family with grandpa.

Claire and Momo got all fixed up for this day.

Claire had prepared a delicious meal (on the photo, it’s the starter).

Everyone was delighted by the received presents. As the weather was beautiful, our humans were even able to make a small digestive stroll and to take advantage of the garden with us.

And at your house, how was it ?

Last step before Christmas

The countdown until Christmas is always the same at our home :
At the end of November, we send our greeting cards to our friends overseas, Claire makes the Advent wreath, and she bakes small Christmas Cake to offer.
At the beginning of December, we send our greeting cards to our family in France and in Italy and to our European friends, we decorate our Christmas tree, and Claire and Momo install the bright decorations outside.
In the middle of December, we send our greeting cards to our family and to our friends in Switzerland.

And one week before Christmas, Claire bakes the Christmas biscuits.

Talking about biscuits, the last book of our talented friend Deb Barnes « Makin’ biscuits » features many of our friends ; that book is about « weird cat habits and even weirder habits of the humans who love them », and it’s a great gift idea. Our friends Caren and Cody wrote a wonderful review, check it out !
