Rules are made to be...

*Note: In our home Caline and Frère have a few rules to follow. For example, do not jump on the kitchen counter top, coffee table or the dining room table. For the most part they listen and obey. But today when I came from having worked in the office I found this:

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Frère! What do
you think you’re doing?”

 Frère, “What!?”
The Frenchman’s wife, “You’re
sleeping on my table!”

 Frère, “Oh, I know that!”

 Frère, “I thought you were going to say
that there was something scary!”
The Frenchman’s wife, “Get off the table!!!
You know you’re not allowed!”

Frère, “Ok, I’m going!”



*Note: Caline is normally the one that is getting in trouble for being places she is not allowed. To see her on top of the table click here.

Basking in the Heat

 The Frenchman, “Caline you look so funny!”

Caline, “I don’t care, the heat feels so good!!!”



*Note: Caline and Frère both have fallen in love with the heater behind the couch, to see more click here.

Pigeon Duty

The Frenchman’s wife, “I was looking for
the two of you, what are you doing
at the bed room window?”
Frère, “Pigeon watching. I’m off duty,
it’s Caline’s watch now.”



*Note: Since winter is coming to an end and spring is in the air Caline and Frère spend all of their time at the windows bird watching.  To see more posts of their pigeon watching click here.

Close Napping

*Note: Today as I sat working in the office Caline and Frère squeezed themselves together in this little corner and this is how they napped for about 3 hours.

It started like this:

Frère, “…Zzzz…”

Caline, “…Zzzz…”



Then it went like this:

Frère, “…Zzzz…”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Oh, your head fell!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline you haven’t
moved nearly as much as Frère has.”
Caline, “…Zzzz…”



Finaly it was like this:

The Frenchman’s wife, “Oh my, Frère you're so silly.”
Frère, “…Zzzz…”

Little Boss

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline why
did you climb up there?”

 Caline, “Because I wanted
to watch you work!”

 Caline, “I have a good view
of you from up here.”
The Frenchman’s wife, “Well how do
you like what I do?”

 Caline, “You do a good job!”

 Caline, “I really like to watch the mouse move
around on the screen and you do
a good job at making it move!”
The Frenchman’s wife, “Well how would
you like to come and play
a game with me?”

 Caline, “A game!!!”

 Caline, “Just one moment, I’m coming!”

Caline, “Don’t get started without me!!!”

Scaredy Cat

 Frère, “The dining room looks normal.”

Frère, “Nothing scary up there.”

Frère, “And there’s nothing down
there that can hurt me.”

Frère, “Ok, everything is
just right for a nap!”

Frère, “Just got to get my foot up here.”

Frère, “…fell off…”

Frère, “Ok, get up here and stay!”

Frère, “What was that!”

Frère, “Oh, it’s just you.”
The Frenchman’s wife, “Yes It’s only me,
you’re safe, go back to sleep!”



*Note: I have never known a cat to be more scared than Frère is. Poor guy every strange sound bothers him and anything new is a threat. But he feels safe knowing that we are there and his sister Caline is there. She often licks him when he is scared and he calms down.
When we first had them Frère would call for Caline to come to the litter box with him because he was scared to go alone. She would lay on the floor in front of the box and wait for him to finish and then they would go run off and play together. Thankfully he grow out of that.

Paws Crossed

The Frenchman, “Frère you look so
funny sleeping with your
paws crossed!”
Frère, “…Zzzz…”



*Note: Frère often sits like this when he starts a nap and then his head falls and he changes positions.
