{Nika a Sweet Russian Blue from Moscow, Russia}

While we were in The Netherlands of course we also did visit with our dear Friends! One of those visits turned out to be a very lovely one and also because of their Sweet Russian Blue from Moscow (YES, she did travel by air some 2,000 km or 1,300 miles!) to her new FOREVER and PURRFECT home!

SWEET NIKA girl a Russian Blue from Moscow, Russia!

Of course I did feel like being back home with our own felines, as this girl LOVES people.

Our dear Russian born friend Olga, who studied linguistics at Moscow State Linguistic University, did bring this darling home to The Netherlands by plane.

How happy a cat–girl can be!

There for sure was NO language barrier; we got along PURRFECTLY well from the minute we eyed each other. 

Wish there would be more of such loving and caring people like Olga & Chris from Logement 'Aan de Maas' Bed & Breakfast Belfeld.

Nika looks like GOROGORO & NIKONIKO from blogger friend Tamago about: My happy life with two happy cats...

Remember, we too did bring a cat–girl back home on a plane with us all the way from Acapulco, Mexico to GeorgiaUSA. That also was a flight of some 2,500 km or 1,500 miles!

It is also because of people like blogger friend Elna, from Sweden: Elna-Sudden who keeps kittens at her home till they get adopted and she does create bracelets for funding these placements of kittens.


"Animals cannot speak, but can you and I not speak for them and represent them? Let us all feel their silent cry of agony and let us all help that cry to be heard in the world." ~ Rukmin Devi Arundale

On November 16, 2022 Nika left her human family...

Lisa, had Nika for three years before she traveled to The Netherlands and had to sit in quarantine in Düsseldorf, Germany for a month—due to incorrect paperwork.

Lisa is an artist and created this image of kind, affectionate Nika.

{Daffodils in a Vase on a Dark Day...}

On March 5, it was very dark and dreary looking... Not a good day for taking photos but I had to, as our lovely Daffodils already started drying up in their Mason's Patent Ironstone Mandalay Vase... I did wait for a better opportunity but it did not happen this year and the daffodils are almost gone by now. So this is what I can show you here:

Using our Mason's Patent Ironstone Mandalay Chartreuse Vase.

Placemat is French Le Jacquard Français

Tiggy-Tiger is a sad cat-girl on this dreary and dark day... They love sunshine as much as I do!

Her sister (by adoption) Spicy, is outside next to the tree.

Daffodils in fact are paper-thin flowers and they do dry out rather easy when the air-conditioning is running for heating the home.

Our Heirloom Daffodils we all selected because of their fragrance...

At least our garden did yield some lovely fragrant daffodils this year!

Do you have any at your place and could you fill up a vase?
