Evidently stuntman Merkel had performed too well. Maplewood veteran Ginger was quite obviously not amused that the pictures of his stand-in were the main news feature in Monday’s Katzenparade. In return he called an ad hoc press conference complete with demonstration....

…I can do better! Now that they are over I noticed that I had not mentioned the winter olympics with one word. Was it because everything has been feeling like spring here? Though Sochi did not exactly look wintry either. Anyway, as follow-up and compensation I...

Today you can watch the almond tree starting to bloom and take a look at the tulip patch. While we humans enjoy the first pretty flowers, the cats are more interested in mice and catnip. The fresh young catnip seems to be irresistible. While Islay started , Ice-B...

Yesterday there was spring in the air for the first time this year. The cats enjoyed it as much as the humans. Last year Islay captured this feeling. This year someone else literally jumped in. Just when I wanted to take some shots of Ice-B digging for moles, Joschi...

Sorry for being late! I had to take Ginger to his routine check-up and decided to start de-matting Islay and Ice-B. While the three were waiting for me to get the car ready, Jaspar looked out of his living room. I just had to take that picture! But it goes well with...

Celebrate the 250th issue with the team! As usual I have been wondering what topic to chose. As I spent early Monday morning (we are talking 3:00 a.m.) in the emergency room of the animal clinic with a Ginger who was very obviously in terrible pain, I would have been...

I simply cannot believe it. Was this winter? No snow and did we have minus degrees during the day? I cannot recall. Nature is very obviously set on spring. In the mornings the usual blackbird concerto accompanies me when I fetch the newspaper. Hazels and witch hazels...
