Ruth, the flattening of your nose was worth it. Congratulations! It is true and you are right – there is only Mrs. Peel in the ash! You all spotted her paw, but even in his thin summer coat, this is not Islay’s bushy tail! Evidence photo attached for...

Before we talk about the heat that came at the end of August and will make an appearance later this week, another quest for all of you with eagle eyes. This time we have high as(h)pirations – if you pardon the pun. Question: Who is climing around in the...

WYSIWYG as we say in IT. In plain English: „what you see is what you get“ and that is the answer to yesterday’s riddle. The three cats you see in the photo are the only ones that were in that part of the garden. Bravo, Ruth, Susette and Micki for...

Before it is too late a very hot (outdoor temperature) Monday Morning Riddle. The photo above shows Isfrid on her usual round plodding through the yet cool gras. In the background you can see Mrs. Peel on the right and Sander on the left. Question: Are there any more...

Not only dogs like shoes. Islay adores them! He simply cannot get enough of the smell (like Otto in „A Fish Called Wanda“ – who remembers?) and he loves to scratch them inside and out. (He particularly likes to use the insoles as scratching boards.)...

Yesterday you could see the plants and flowers at the beginning of July, today we are at the end of the month. Another winner of the last mild winter are the beeches. The trees are brown with beech nuts. In the good old days a rich harvest occured every 5 to 8 years....

In the June edition I introduced you to the wonderful rose mallows but forgot to show you the „tropical“ hibiscus that can only survive the winter when kept in house. Having done that now. Let’s concentrate on the animal and plant inhabitants of the...

Well, theoretically you are all correct, but practically, the sequence of events was like this: Islay looks up and spots Sander so an ambush is no longer possible. After that Islay walks away to lie down and clean himself. Hence the answer to the question what happens...

First the solution to the „Friday riddle“. Karl-Theodor and Sonia, your trust in Joschi is heartwarming but totally unfounded. The solution is in the last picture. I have enlarged the important section that you can see below. I am not sure whether Joschi...

On today’s agenda – a flicker book. As you know Joschi is a big fan of empty snail shells. And as you also know, he is rather slow on the uptake. Today you can watch him playing with a snail shell again. This time he uses both front paws to pick it up and...

Initially, I had planned to continue to show you the garden but then we got new neighbours. Well, not exactly next door, but on the „sheep meadow“ which you might remember from this former edition. But this time we are not talking sheep and goats. Last...

Yesterday’s photo is the last in a series, showing Maxine jumping over the fence from our dustin onto the dustbin of our neighbours in the west. So the answer is b). I have noticed several times, particularly at dusk or at night that her tortie colouring...

Welcome to our world cat day riddle! Could you imagine a life without your pets? I certainly could not! That is why I – for once – do not want to draw your attention to all those cats (and dogs) that live abandoned or in shelters but to those organisations...

Thank you, Micki, Susette and Ruth that you had mercy with me (and Sander) and actually got the 5.6 kg right! By Jove, I sincerely hope that I can avoid those 6 kg! As Ruth said, losing those extra pounds/grams is MUCH more difficult (and less pleasant) than gaining...

This week I hope that I can publich more than the riddle and its solution! But let’s start the Monday in style. As you know the cats are all weighed on the last Saturday of each month. Last month, I asked you to compare the weights of Isfrid and Mrs. Peel. Today...

Micki, you are amazing! Maybe cats are not so different from dogs after all? Answer c) is correct. Islay – ever the playful – is inviting Marvi to a friendly banter (hence no laid-back ears) but Marvi is not amused. Maybe it was too hot for her? Anyway,...

Welcome to the Monday Evening Riddle! Today’s question is for the cat experts and all those who thrive to become one. As it has been rather hot the last weeks, cool places are in high demand. Joschi and Islay found themselves a nice spot in the shadows on the...

What is better for a cat? Living securely indoors, well taken cared of by loving humans or following the call of the wild and living a free but dangerous life outside? As you know I am trying to find something inbetweens by offering the cats a secure garden. But for...

When we had a water emergency in the kitchen a couple of weeks ago, I carried the cats outside onto the terrace for their breakfast kibbles. The little creatures of habit found this very unusual but quite interesting. As you can see in the pictures this turned into a...
