Summer Photo Portrait in the Garden

21/02/2021 by Marjorie Dawson 11 Comments

Today’s selfie in the garden shows that Toulouse does tolerate a cuddle, on his own terms. He was happy to sit quietly for a short while in the shade as the family enjoyed the late afternoon sunshine. He has even kept his tracker on for more than a week. You can see the grey disc in front of his chest. It is fantastic for locating him in the evening.

The family have enjoyed lovely February summer weather but I have watched the snow and blizzards of winter sweeping across many of our friends in Europe and America with concern. Please stay safe and warm everyone, and drive carefully.

A special treat

I discovered a wonderful video on you Tube that shows the South Island of New Zealand. It’s relaxing and pretty amazing. Maybe something to have on in the background while you relax or write up a blog post.

In Memoriam Willy @Cybercat 919

This week we bade farewell to a long time Twitter kitty who left us (aged 22). Willy was a treasured friend and Marjorie and the Dash Kitten crew send our love and condolences to his lovely mum. He was a friend – we value and miss our friends when they leave.

    Marjorie and Toulouse what a great cuddle shot! Mav would not let me cuddle him like that. He will allow some cuddling if we are lying down. But I am willing to wait. Nellie took over 6 years before she would let me pick her up or hold her. He is a cool looking cat! Thanks for the Link to the video on the South Island! Thanks for visiting us and we hope you and your family have a marvellously Happy Day!

    Toulouse it takes longer for some of us to like those cuddles. It too Miss Fitz over 6 years and now she lets Dad cuddle her. On the bed only and only when she decides to come close enough but still she does. Many purrs and thanks for that very nice video that we sure need to relax after this winters blast

    Oh!! What a great ‘ussie’!
    Cuddles are the best, maybe one day Toulouse might decide to love them:)
    Sorry you lost a good kitty furred.

    Oh, we love this cuddle picture of you and Toulouse. It’s so special! We were very sad to hear of Willy’s passing, and send purrs to his family and friends like you.

    Off to go and watch that video!

    That’s such a wonderful selfie and we’ll sure watch that video shortly. I’m sorry to hear about Willy and hugs to his family, we didn’t know since we deleted my Twitter account due to all the hate going on.
