That wind tupped me right OVER!!! I’m hanging on to this chair so I won’t blow away!
Yeah, yeah, I know, it’s ‘windy city’, but around here the wind blows ALL of us right off the map. Mama (I suppose I should call mama ‘maman‘ in France, right and maybe in Italy, mamma, so I’ll just skip around with the monikers, whatever they are) was off to the market today and was almost blown into the sea. Well, not really, she took the inner route to avoid BIG waves, but it made a good story…
The thing about the wind is that it also dries out any moisture we might have had in the night on the roses and such, and so they are healthier for it. Too much humidity breeds rust and mildew and so the plants profitent from the wind (profit by it–see how easy French is?).
But I cannot go outside because I look too silly just to walk across the garden! So I’m sitting this one out.
I know you think I’ve put this pic in a gazillion times, but if you look closely, it’s never the same photo–just the same pose, haha. I have always loved my feet up or braced, as when I sleep with maman and brace my paws against her knee. She says it helps the knee to be healthy, that little warm kitty-touch during the night. Hey, I can go with that. But who’s going to keep MY knees warm?
Wait a minute. Do I HAVE knees?
We’re glad you didn’t get blown away, Loulou!
Well, you kitties blow me away, haha.
Loulou you fur shur have knees. Kitty back feet are reaaaaaaly long to the ankle bone which is connected to the shin bone which is connected to the knee bone which is connected to the leg bone which is connected to the hip bone. That shin bone is covered with muscles and the leg bone even more…
We are good looking and built so well my dear Loulou!

We have a pawty for our Independence Day so you can come
Timmy and Family
Oh, Timmy, thank you for letting me know that the shin bone is connected to the ankle bone, etc and that I indeed have KNEES!!! And yes, I shall come to your party RIGHT NOW!
Loulou, you ARE the Bee’s Knees!! Whatever that means – something cool from what I understand but an expression way before our time!! Mama told me the story about Pepper (my predecessor from several years back, who was a real rascal!!) and she would walk him in Collioure and some days she was afraid he would start flying like a kite!! Of course he was always on a leash – so that would be a novelty! Actually sounds like fun! Wanna try that Loulou? I’m game!
Hey, let’s hook ourselves together just in case we fly. That would be more fun!
You are such a cutie LouLou. You are wise to stay inside on a windy day.
This morning I was blowing all over the patio!!!
LouLou, I am glad you and Mama did not get blown away. Our current worry is fireworks and / or thunderstorms.
Well, no fireworks here until the 14th but boy, are there ALOT on that day! I go under the bed…
We have been on the receiving end of French winds and they CAN knock you down!
Have a super week…
Noodle ands crew
Well, knocked down I was, for sure! And yes, they come from the Sahara and they come from the mountains and they come from the sea. You never know when!
OMC I love both photos but that last one is just too funny!!!
Well, I had my camera set up to catch a shot before IT blew away too.
Knees or no knees – I think you are purr-faction! You are a Tuxedo goddess! Wink wink! And as a goddess – I bet you have control over the elements – like wind even! Maybe you just haven’t tried using your powers yet? Or maybe you are goddess of the earth, instead? Mew Mew!
I think I may be into the Earth thing, Valentine. I like my paws on the ground, like mama.
Well, if you don’t have knees, Loulou, your mama will buy you a pair. Right?
Oh, yeah, sure, I can just see me in fake knees!!! A blogger said I had the Bee’s Knees, whatever that is, but I’m pretty sure it’s a nice thing. Mama knew, but she’s ancient so she knows those things, haha.
You are so cute!
Purrs xx

Well, shucks.
