Can you see something in the above photo? No? No wonder! Due to the persistent rain not only Ginger’s morning stroll fell through but also the bat watching that was planned for Wednesday night. You can see the „success“ of an earlier photo attempt...

Is the idiom „It is raining cats and dogs“ a common expression you would use? I was once told that it is as uncommon as the German equivalent a former English teacher once told us (see below). In any case, it has been raining persistently for 2 days now and while it...

Summer can come. We are ready: The patio furniture is in place, the plants and pots are in position and even some old favourite toys are back, albeit a little faded. As I had human help, everything went quickly and smoothly. And the only thing the cats needed to do is...

We have a scratching post issue. While I did not believe that the blue one would last three years (click here for its first appearance) the banana leaf variety did not last long at all as this is already number two! I think the reason is quite obvious: everycat seems...

Jaspar is back! After spending over a week in confinement – first at the vet and then in our basement storeroom turned rehab facility – he can enjoy his freedom again. The swelling is gone, as is the limp and he now can run around again without pain....

Once again I had planned something different for today and along came Tara. Tara saved a little member of her family from being attacked by a dog. Thankfully everything was caught on surveillance cameras as I doubt whether anybody would have believed the little...

On the occasion of Mira’s and Marvi’s birthdays we wonder every year who might have been their mother. Maybe the answer to this question is more obvious than we thought. We always assumed that the mother was a black and white cat that was observed farther...
