Bienvenue your Highness…

While still early days, it has been a long search ( over two years)for a “little” brother for the divas and completes our family. A friend in a nearby village, fellow cat lover, found that her neighbor was feeding a family of four kittens and set into action. Natalja knew there was an opening here and that one of the four felines there was a male.

The human in this scenario, had chosen a name and although the young monsieur has only been in the house with us a few days, arrived on Valentine’s Day, he doesn’t seem to fit the character of the chosen name so we shall see… For the time being, he is simply  Monsieur or his Royal Majesty despite the fact that Madame Colette will continue to rule the roost. Despite the fact that he is not yet seven months old and the divas are three and six years old, he weighs more than the two divas together. The human in this equation believes it is due to his big heart. While living indoors is new to him, he has one of the loudest purring motors we have encountered. He loves a cuddle so perhaps his three sisters trained him well. These factors must be considered when choosing a name.

The resilience of the feline is astounding. Despite his fear of everything being so different here, he is filled with love which he is anxious to share and it pours out of him. It was made clear, Colette does have a reputation for not liking any feline and doesn’t consider herself one, monsieur is here on trial. He has his own room and when the divas are in another part of the house, his door is opened so that he can explore. 

As one might expect, the human is not sane enough to make this decision, he had her at the first loud purr. Simone has been longing for someone who will cuddle and share grooming duties. Colette acknowledges nobody but herself and the human who she believes is exclusively hers.

The biggest hurdle is Colette… will she just ignore him, denying his existence, as she does with Simone? Will Simone finally have someone to comfort her?

Simone and the human are in total agreement that it is time for a new voice purring their stories and sharing their gorgeous images, paws crossed. There is much work that begs his attention.

Bisous, Colette, Simone, monsieur, and human.

Thanks to all who bear with us. There are days without Wifi at all and the days we do have access it is frequently dropping for hours at a time… Orange is responsible for the lines regardless of the provider. This has been going on for weeks and extends sporadically throughout our department.
