Like a jewel case, Bijou, you offer your thousand-sided sapphire eyes to all those who take the time to dive into your eyes.

All you need is human speech. About your meows, each one points to something very specific. Sometimes it’s “I’m hungry”; or “Don’t worry Manet, I’m coming back, I’m just going to fill my little hollow hook”; “Hey Manou, you give me a place under the duvet, I’m cold”; ” I want hugs … ” ; “No way, you won’t be watching Tomorrow belongs to us in peace!” “; “When do you come back home?” Aunty told me I had two more sleeps … “.

Is it still dark? Too bad, Bijou gets up: a lick on Manet’s hair, a caress with his paw on Manou’s arm and straight to the kitchen! “What? No more food, help! ” Manet must come at once to rescue me and fill the bowl.

The sun shyly shows up, it’s hardly time to wander. Bijou would like to take a walk in the garden of the family home in the North. He is a bit anxious during the trip but the comfort is right here, Manou’s knees are exquisite! His technique is brilliant. He pretends “he wants to go out” and rushes outside like a devil would come out of his box. Bijou climbs the trunk of the tallest tree, stares at the horizon, enjoys, and gets down. He runs quickly towards his summer home and rubs against Manou’s legs seeking a caress and elegantly claiming his leash. Because Bijou loves the smells of nature and feeling the freshness of the dew on the lawn under his delicate pads.

The stifling summer heat wipes out his nap outside the four walls in northern France. In no time, he rushes to Manou and Manet’s bed. All he is missing is his cow that has stayed in the Cristolian flat. Too bad, Bijou will have to cope without it. Oh he’s used to it. And then, the boys are there to keep him company. Four almost teenage players alternately playful, careful, laughing, understanding.

Like a jewel case, Bijou, you offer your sweetness to all those who know how to appreciate your unconditional love.
