Congratualtion, Tamara, Micki, Karl-Theodor and Sabine! There is really no cat in the tree. Maybe demolishing trees is a speciality of indoor cats? At our place the team is much more interested in the old flower pot we use as a stand. As it is kept in the open wood...

The web is full of videos showing cats that have enormous fun demolishing Christmas trees and other holiday decorations. As avid readers know, our Christmas tree lives outside on the terrace and the decorations are not only weatherproof but cat-proof as well. A tree...

When your cats live indoors only, they should ideally have access to your whole flat – even your bedroom. Try snuggling up with your cat and you will see that this is an experience not to be missed. With the whole apartment or house at the cats‘ disposal...

Micki and Karl-Theodor, you are right again! All four celebrities are cat lovers. a) Jörg has already explained about the special Hemmingway cats in Key West. b) Swiss/German painter Paul Klee painted a lot of remarkable cat pictures and he also photographed his own...

Today I have something completely different for you. It occurred to me that two team members have so-called unisex names and that even long standing Katzenparade readers sometimes get confused whether these two are males or females: Isfrid is a) a Nordic name for...

As mentioned before, Sander is a fair weather cat. So far I have found out that he does not like rain – no surprise there – but he does not like cold either. I find this rather interesting because fur, particularly dark fur, only needs a little bit of...

The two Martins from L. and Karl-Theodor have got it right – apart from Sander, Mrs. Peel is climbing around the yew as well. I have marked her – her head to be precise – with a yellow circle. She had been sniffing the stones that I used to weigh...
