Martin, you should have listened to your gut feeling! Now Susette and Sonia are the only ones that got it right. The correct answer is indeed d), Joschi, the fluff ball. Above you can see him marching towards the amphora where he sat down for a brief moment –...

Last Saturday I went to visit Paulchen, Sander’s and Mrs. Peel’s brother. As you might recall I had been tempted to keep him as well until I realized that he would be much better off with Erica, Rolf and their grandson Phillip. Like the...

All cats are grey by night. Taking literally, I can tell you with authority that the proverb is not true. The fair coats of Isfrid and Joschi are easy to spot in the dark while Jaspar’s black makes him appear like a dark shadow. Sander is more difficult to spot....

The picture says it all. Who would have thought? None of you – and me neither! When I pointed the camera at the scene I had expected another outcome, too. And what an anti-climax! As Sander does not react at all, Mrs. Peel just gives up her plan. See the whole...

Why is it that every time you need to print out a photo either the ink has run out or the jets of the printer are clogged – or one after the other or both? After a frustrating morning with my colour printer I really enjoy the digital world! See for yourselves...

or the second summer. September surprised us all. No matter what the experts say but from my point of view this was the sunniest, warmest and driest September ever. Our citrus plants have started to bloom again, so have the pomegranate, the bougainvillea and the...

Gosh! October already and I have not shown you the garden in August yet! Here are the hightlights in short: See that image of Sander sitting on the patio furniture? He is taking shelter from rain! Unlike other parts of Germany we had not seen any significant amount...

Famous natural scientist Mrs. M. is safely home! She walked into her yard a few minutes ago. She told the assembled press that she was fit and well but would rather clean herself than giving interviews. Instead, our reporter managed to get hold of forest ranger Jaspar...

You are so good! Well done, Martin, Karl-Theodor, Tamara, and Micki! It is indeed a hammock. As you can see it is really roomy and big enough even for Islay. Naturally, Mira made it her new favourite place but the other grown-ups like to lounge there, too –...

Today I have something completely different for you. What you see above are the individual parts of a piece of equipment I got for the cats. I have to admit I was pretty flabbergasted when I removed them from the box – and I had seen a picture of it assembled!...

She is out and about again but yesterday a visit to the vet was called for. Why? Remember 2014, when we had three occurences of gras stuck in Isfrid’s and Ice-B’s throat? After one year without any incident, the vet removed no less than five smaller pieces...

Naturally, this really hot weather in September is totally normal – like winter in March or Tornados in Northern Germany. As you know, cats only have sweat glands in the soles of their feet. So when a tom cat is running around like mad despite the heat, when the...
