My latest post seems to have saddened some visitors. Therefore two pictures to cheer you up.
First, yesterday evening I had gambas for supper. My Master is allergic to sea-food – except fish. My Mistress bought a pack of big organic gambas – organic because they are supposed to be less destructive of the environment and don’t have too negative a social impact. Expensive, of course! But the local supermarket sells them 20% or 30% cheaper when the sell-by date is near. What a treat!
This Friday morning, as soon as the cat-flap was open I rushed into my garden and immediately felt there was something near the letter-box. I didn’t catch anything but I spent quite a pleasant moment.
This afternoon it is grey outside. My Master is reading a (serious) book, and I, Frimousse, am having a nap in my armchair.
Hey, Frimousse, you don’t have to write posts to stop us being sad – life is life and you, a wise French mancat, must write as you see fit ! We love your posts as we love you. In a respectful mancat way – none of that slushy stuff you understand.
Now organic gamba looks wonderful – I shall send Äiti to the shops!
But my Master says producing shrimps is bad for the environment and, above all, very bad for the people, who have to leave their tiny patches of land to make space for shrimps. Where do they go? What do they do for a living?
Organic shrimps are produced is conditions (slightly) better

Frimousse! Glad you had a nice tasty snack! And we know you will catch something near the letterbox soon!
I didn’t today. but in the next few days…
Yummy!! We say shrimp in English — I have never tried giving my kitties some but maybe I will try! Looks like you had a good day Frimousse. Glad to see that you are getting happier
We say “crevettes” in French but nowadays it is fashionable to use “exotic” words, therefore these shrimps are labeled “gambas”.
PS I agree with Punapippuri! Write what you feel without worry about readers. Sometimes just too busy to visit blogs! Not avoiding cause causing sadness!
“A certain number of cat-friends are having severe health problems at the moment,” my Master says. “When you’ve lived for 15 years with animal it is a real problem when you’re about to lose it.”
I, Frimousse, don’t understand that language!
so true!
My Masters think yesterday was a rather good day. They say I ate rather “normally”. But they still ask me what’s wrong. I can’t tell them.
Have a nice Sunday – winter or spring Sunday?
I am glad having a treat perked you up, I hope you continue to feel better. XO
Thanks!
So glad your treats and the good hunting perked you up a bit ! Purrs !
“When Frimousse stops eating big shrimps he’ll be pushing up the daisies,” my Master says !
Wow they look good. What a great day you had!
Purrs
They were good!
