Vio's visit

[Barbara]

Vio left this morning for her alpine holiday:(
It was so nice having her here for a day and a night and especially Filou and Tigris enjoyed it because Vio is such a creative and gifted person. Look what she made for F+T:

Two purrfect tents. What you cannot see is that the dark blue one has the name of Filou on it and a small light blue cat head on one side. The light blue has the name of Tigris on it plus a dark blue big cat head:D

Tigris of course knew immediately:

Vio and me (please be sure that we are much prettier in reality:D ):

One of the highlights was the video John and Randi had made last year and just like last year, Tigris was very much interested:

Tigris watches Filou eating vitamin paste

Filou, not the most social of cats, even accepted good bye kisses from Vio before he hissed :D

How sweet! What lovely photos! And what great gifts the kids received:D Vio, you sure are talented! Loved seeing you all! Hope you have a great holiday, Vio! (Nice to see you too, John:D)

[Randi]

Oh these pictures brings back wonderful memories! :) A year has gone by already. :eek:

I'm so glad you had a wonderful time together - only wish we could have joined again! - Next time!

You know Tigris has a special place in our hearts, and one of the highlights was of course that Tigris came up on John's lap to cuddle. :D

I love the tents Vio made - seems that Tigris chose the right one too, and Filou is certainly checking his out. :cool:

[jazzcat]

It looks a very nice visit and I LOVE those tents!!! How nice! Of course Jazz and I wish we could see more of Tigris than just a peek a boo out the tent.:D

[dukedogsmom]

Love the photos! Those little kitty tents are some of the cutest things I've seen lately. Glad you had a nice visit.

[sasvermont]

Nice photo session there, Barbara! I love the ones of Filou and Tigris - and of course, the human photos are great too!

By the way Barbara, my brother and his wife were visiting last week and my cats slept with them each night. They made real pests of themselves. I must not give them enough attention so when company arrives, they go bonkers!

Glad to hear you enjoyed Vio's visit!

please be sure that we are much prettier in reality ):

Very, very true!

I am envious....of the visit...(Don't think I would fit in those adorable kit tents!)

[jenluckenbach]

You got to kiss Filou! :eek: You are so lucky!!! :D:D

I adore those tents! very comfortable looking.

And if you 2 are too much prettier in person than you must be super models because you look great to me :D:D:D

[Barbara]

Jen I adore your siggy. Didn't know Monte was that dangerous;)

[delidog]

Oh What Great Pics!!!!
Looks like you had a great Visit!!!!
AND THOSE TENTS ARE ADORABLE!!!!

Maybe Randi & John can join you next time

Looks like a Good time was had by all!!!!

[Vio&Juni]

Here I am sitting in an Internet cafe in Alps! This visit is a blast! I got to see Barbara and Siegmar again and we had a very nice time. Barbara is the best cook ever!!!

The boys are as handsome as ever - Filou as regal and Tigris as sweet :) I am glad they enjoyed their tents. If I had my USB cable with me ( :rolleyes: ), I could show you how the tents passed Pichu's and Juni's quality control :) Maybe if I find one to buy...

I will still be 2 more weeks in the Alps and I don't know how much I will be able to stay online.

[Killearn Kitties]

They are lovely photos! What wonderful little tents! Are they made of a fleecy material? The look so cosy! Jessica is jealous!

[Miss Meow]

Barbara, how do you keep flowers in your home without them being destroyed by cats? :eek: :D

I wish I could have met you all over there. I'm so jealous!

One day!

[lynnestankard]

So glad the visit was a huge success. Those tents are wonderful Vio.and seem to pass the cat test!!

You have a lovely holiday in the Alps - oh all that wonderful clean air!

[ramanth]

Great photos! The tents are lovely. :D

[Edwina's Secretary]

I just noticed the tents are color-coordinated to your rug! That Vio is so clever!

[Lillycat]

great photos.......looooved the tent!

[Vio&Juni]

I've promised to post pictures! Finally!

Here is Pichu making sure there is enough padding in Filou's tent

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid145/p39c9311762619ddfe8eafbf447fc3c03/f666fdb3.jpg

It's really Filou's :)

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid145/pf6ca3cafb99086a66ec8b836bede1b93/f666fda8.jpg

This is Juni doing the almost final check, just before I put the wires in

This is how Filou's tent looked after I put the wires in

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid145/pfea8233a125e422356de3dc25292ca27/f666fd97.jpg

And, of course, she had to bless it with some zzzzzzzzzzing

[Vio&Juni]

Then Pichu had to make sure that his friend's tent is as good as Filou's

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid145/p57cd8fbf62f214f806e3806b29e5ecf4/f666cbc9.jpg

I think it's good!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid145/peb148a7f829ef3a0a2e5102504d0c31b/f666cbe5.jpg

But can we have the same?
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid145/pecc98d909c6c6d1d0131f1d96b196693/f666cbe1.jpg

Pichu and Juni got a cat tower and a hammock from Germany, but we (actually Pichu and Juni) decided to make two more tents :)

[robinh]

You know it was very good of Pichu and Juni to check out the tents to make sure Filou and Tigris would like them. Such a selfless thing for them to do! :D

And how clever of you to make them. I am so craft impaired.

[Barbara]

Now I understand why these tents came out so purrfect-it's all about quality control :)

We put them in the balcony door so taht the sun was shining in. Filou enjoyed having the sun AND being in the warm ;)

[Killearn Kitties]

Such beautiful, furry quality controllers you have there Vio!! No wonder your creations ae all so perfect! :D
