A Kitty Holiday

We brought our kitty, P'tite Mignonne (Little Miss Cutie) with us to the countryside, and she loves discovering all the nooks and crannies that the space offers. She decided early on that the winnowing machine was just the perfect place to sleep in.
Can you see her?



(the winnowing machine was already in the attic when my parents bought the farm; we simply scrubbed and re-painted it)

Ptite Mignonne remembers the place and the huge renovated attic very well from the previous years. It is amazing how much she is enjoying herself here. Truly as if she was feeling on holiday!


This house is an old farm that we renovated entirely, year after year... It is just a mile from my mother's birthplace, where my grandma lived and my aunt still lives.

Oh, she looks so cosy! There's no way we could take our cats away with us, as Thomas absolutely hates travelling - he gets sick just on a 5-minute trip to the vets, sadly.

Aw, lucky Violette! I was actually wondering if you and Seb had brought her with you. This is such a lovely pre-wedding wind down for you two (three!) - what a great idea!

Tracy said...

OH, that is soooo sweet! Even kitties need a holiday! ;o) Still not much of a summer here in Norway either :o( Let's all do a sunshine dance the next weeks to ensure you & Seb have the sunniest wedding day ever! Have a great weekend! ((Hugs))

She's such a beautiful thing! How nice that she can have a vacation, too. I know when I was gone for 3 weeks my cats really missed me, so it was wonderful for her that you could take her with you.

Our cats Ginger nad smudge have gone into a sulk because we don't propose to take them away with us next week! But they would like some sunshine to snooze in! I'm all for a sunshine dance. My very best wishes for your wedding.

Lovely pictures, and you both look relaxed and happy. Loved her hiding place in the winnowing machine, it is amazing where cats find to take a nap and be comfortable.

Do you ever take a bad picture?! Sheesh! Even when you are just "lounging around" you look like a model! Beautiful pictures!

Lana, I do hope you're talking about the kitty. She is indeed very photogenic! As for me, not so much - LOL. Seb does put a lot of love into his pictures though. :)
