Something New

*Note: Because our new apartment at the castle doesn’t have even one closet for storage we have been investing in furniture like this sideboard for the dining room. This was what Caline and Frère thought of it the evening it was delivered:

The Frenchman’s wife, “So what do you think of it?”

Frère, “It seems to smell ok.”
Caline, “Nothing strange about
the smell.”

Frère, “What’s down here?”
Caline, “What’s down here?”

The Frenchman’s wife, “This is the
inside where the shelfs are!”

Caline, “Oh, I see.”



Next morning when it was all cleaned up and the marble top on…

 The Frenchamn’s wife, “What do you think now?”

Caline, “It looks better with the top on.”


*Note: The sideboard is  from the 1920, the carvings are of grapes, other fruits and sun bursts, it's very beautiful and made of oak.

Caline and Frère Plus Catnip

The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline look I
have a surprise for you!”

 Caline, “…”

 Caline, “…”

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline! That was a
gift to you from my mother!”
Caline, “…”



Because Caline was not interested in the new toy at all I showed it to Frère.

The Frenchman’s wife, “So what
do you think!”
Frère, “I am not interested!!!”



*Note: Sorry Mommy but my cats do not seem to like catnip.

Une Position de Sommeil Etrange

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline why do you sleep

in such strange positions?”

 Caline, “This is not strange!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “It really looks strange with

your hind leg sticking out like that.”

 Caline, “Ok, I’ll move.”

  The Frenchman’s wife, “You don’t have to move.”

Caline, “Too late... Stretch!”

Caline, “There, how’s that?”

Les Chats Paresseux

The Frenchman, “Look at you two.”

The Frenchman, “All you do is sleep.”

  The Frenchman, “You two are so lazy!”

Caline, No, we’re not!”
Frère, “We’re not lazy!”
The Frenchman, “Oh yes you are!!!”

Caught in the Act

*Note: After bringing home the groceries last night and unpacking them Caline was caught doing this:

 Caline, “Humm, no one is looking.”

 Caline, “The smell is coming
from up here.”

 Caline, “Maybe I can just…”

 Caline, “… jump!”
The Frenchman, “Caline!!!”

Caline, “What, I wasn’t
doing anything.”

What Happened to Frère’s Grass

Frère, “What did you do
to my grass?!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “I’m sorry Frère
but while we were gone it died.”

Frère, “Well then you will have to
grow me some new grass!”
The Frenchman’s wife, “I was just about to,
 but you will have to wait.”

Frère, “I refuse to wait!”
The Frenchman’s wife, “Sorry but that
won’t make it come any faster.”



*Note: Frère loves his cat grass to see more click here.

A Brother and Sister Moment

The Frenchman’s wife, “Ahhw!”

  The Frenchman’s wife, “You two look so
sweet sleeping together!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Oh Frère,
you’re so cute!”



*Note: This rug is new we bought it because the floor is so cold under the table. Caline and Frère seem to think that it is very warm and comfortable to sleep on. But the evening we first laid it down Frère would not allow Caline to even touch it much less be on it, he has since changed his mind as you can see.
