Return of the Sphinx

The Frenchman, “It looks like
the Sphinx is back!”
Frère, “Shhh, I’m trying to think
of a way to get that pigeon!”



*Note: We have sky lights that Frère is looking through to the pigeon's on the roof.
Frère does not like it when we call him a Sphinx though he does the pose so very well. To see more click here.

The Destroy

 Caline, “There, killed you!”

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Caline look what you did!”

 Caline, “What?”

The Frenchman’s wife, “You took
off this poor mouse tail!”
Caline, “Oh…”



*Note: Caline loves to play rough with the toys and breaks them often to see more click here.

Fat Cat!

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Oh my Frère,”
Frère, “What?!”

The Frenchman’s wife, “You’ve become
very fat! Look at your tummy!”
Frère, “Oh, that’s ok. I’ll sleep it off!”



*Note: This picture was taken just after Frère had finished eating his lunch so his tummy looked very full. But there is no need to worry he is in good health and not fat at all, though we often tease him and tell him he eats too much! Frère’s love is food, to see click here.

The Indoor Tree

*Note: In our apartment at the castle the cealings are at there tallest … high and so in order to change the lights we have to get a latter. This evening was the first time we changed the lights and this is what happened:

The Frenchman, “Is that you all
the way up there Caline?”

Caline, “Yes, do you need something?”
The Frenchman, “What are you doing up there?”

Caline, “Just looking at the cealing.”

Caline, “And admiring this new tree that
you planted for me to climb on!”
The Frenchman, “That not a tree to climb on!”



*Note: After a while Caline decided to climb down.

Caline, “Well that was fun!”

Caline, “Though I would like to go
back up again, just one last time!”
The Frenchman, “You better come down
or I’ll have to come get you. I need
to put the latter away!”

Caline, “Oh ok, I guess I’ll come down.”



*Note: Caline loves to go as high as she can and often climbs on the top of the doors for a better view to see click here. Frère on the other hand does not like to be up high it scares him, we think this is because he is not very well balanced.  To see the highest Frère will go click here.

The Mice Invasion!

*Note: Today Frère hopped into this box and sat there just like this:

  *Note: So I thought that I would play a game with him and throw some mice in the box with him for him to play with. But after I had thrown all of the mice this was all Frère did:

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Frère, you just sat there
while all of those mice invaded your
box and you did nothing!”

 Frère, “What mice?”

Frère, “I don’t see any mice.”
The Mice, “Yes, we have tricked the beast!”
The Frenchman’s wife, “You are such a lazy cat!”



*Note: I guess Frère was not in the mood for playing! This has happened before to see click here. I’m starting to wonder if Frère has signed a treaty with the mice.

Happy Easter!

*Note: For Easter we went to visit my husband grand parents and while we weren’t looking my husband’s uncle caught the Caline and Frère doing this:

Caline, “That was an easy jump up.”

Frère, “Well, here I come.”

Frère, “Do you think we are allowed 

to have some of this?”  

*Note: Clearly Caline and Frère were not allowed to have any of the food that they found on the counter tops; but we gave them a nice cat meal for their Eastern dinner.

Caline, “Zzzz...”

Le Jour avant Pâques

 The Frenchman’s wife, “Do you remember this basket
you curled up and slept in it last year.”

  Frère, “Really… this basket?”
Caline, “I remember it!”

  Caline, “You use to be so thin!”  

Frère, “But I remember the basket being bigger!?”



*Note: This is the first basket that Frère fell in love with. To see how Frère use to fit in this basket click here and to see Frère in his baskets click here.
