As we have seen many times before going up a tree is no problem. How about going down? Like Islay demonstrates you can just jump. That ia true for „normal“ trees with a big trunk. But how does cat descent an evergreen? By using the branches like a spiral...

Two hours ago life on the hill was like this: Mira was chasing a fly Ginger was dozing in his favourite den Joschi and Islay were taking a break Marvi wanted to go inside I noticed the hops Ice-B prepared an attack A Red Admiral was snaking on the Yellow Coneflower...

Interested what the „tulip patch“ looks like now? Ice-B is taking you on a tour through that part of the garden where we meet a couple of butterflies. Did you know that butterflies have different strategies to survive the winters in our climate? Some...

There are a couple of issues now that explain how cats mark their territory. Today I want to share some pictures of Islay that show him marking our little baby apple tree. As I happened to be real close you can see very well how he leaves his personal mark by using...

Remember that picture? It was part of a series about playful roughing between Islay and Ice-B. Today, I want you to look at Islay more closely. Doesn’t he look frightening? And it is all play! So how do you (and cats) know when it is serious? First, there is...

Yesterday the lamps and their boxes were inspected thoroughly, today the tools get scrutinized and Ice-B and Islay get down and dirty. Or – wait a minute – Ice-B would not dare using one of those nice soft earth mounds as a toilet!??! Phew, he changed his...

We finally did it! After all those experiments with „magic mushrooms“ and spotlights, we not only found some unobtrusive lamps for our garden – we even got them installed! Now we have a wonderfully illuminated garden for the first time. As you can...
