Impossible to fool the eagle eyes of Constanze, Micki, Sabine and Tamara! Congratulations to all of you. The sunlight obviously played some nasty tricks on the rest of the guessers but there are really only 4 cats on this picture: Marvi, Sander and Islay in plain view...

Welcome to the Monday evening riddle! On a photograph that is hanging in the reception area of my vet’s office the owner captured her 7 cats all sitting on a scratching post and all looking attentively at the camera. The cats are remarkably beautiful but what is...

As you have seen we had kind of an emergency yesterday. Now finally the solution of Monday’s riddle. Congratulations, Ruth! The correct answer is a): Isfrid and Mrs. Peel both weigh 4 kg but they are not the lightest team members. Joschi has only 3.9 kg at the...

Does anybody know this reindeer? Yesterday a strange visitor surprised the inhabitants of the hill: A reindeer in full winter clothing was sitting on the bench at the top of the lane. After it sat there for hours and did not budge, the land-lady of the White Elephant...

As you know the team consists of some really slim and some quite substantial members. To make sure that the thin ones don’t get thinner and the portly ones don’t gain even more weight, we weigh the cats every month. Naturally there exists an Excel sheet...

Dear Ruth, this issue is for you. Too long ago, when we were talking about watering the back of the garden you told me about a special garden hose you had seen on a shopping channel. The hose looks all small and crinkly without water but magically unfolds to double...

Who would have thought that she is actually sitting on a mousehole (answer c)!?! And as you can see below she even goes further and lies down over it. Well guessed, Susette! Thank you for your confidence in my artistic abilities, Sonia, but it is totally unfounded....

More than a year ago I published a newsflash with the first proper picture of our dinner guest. Since then Kater has become a more or less regular feature of the front garden. He is still sporting scars but the quality of his fur has considerably improved. As Jaspar...

This is the last birthday special, promised! Jaspar was probably an autumn kitten and I have no clue when Maxine was born, the only one we still have to congratulate is Joschi who turned 11 this month. Looking at him it feels really odd that he is now our senior. He...

All your correct answers stunned me into silence… 😉 Sorry for my late reply but Sonia, Tamara, Micki, Martin, Karl-Theodor and Ruth already gave you the correct answer: b) Yes, Islay is hiding there. Congratulations to you all! As you can see above, I caught him...

Todays riddle is as short as it is late. On the picture above you can see the little cat hut we have in the back garden. Question: Is there anybody in the downstairs „room“? a) No, the hut is empty. b) Yes, Islay is hiding there. c) Yes, Mrs. Peel is...

Be warned, this will be the longest issue ever! As difficult as it was for me to let the rest of the kittens go, by being able to chose the new parents for them myself, I have had the privilege to meet and/or get to know some wonderful people. So instead of...

Today’s issue is reserved for Isfrid and Islay who turned 5 on Sunday. I cannot stop repeating that it is beyond me how anybody could keep Norwegian Forest Cats strictly indoors. Admittedly, Islay is huge and naturally he needs loads of space to stretch his legs...

Sorry, no Monday Morning Riddle today. As Thursday will be a public holiday in Germany and we will be off on Friday, too, that leaves us with three days and I need those for all the birthdays we have to celebrate this week! As Mira’s and Marvi’s fifth...

This last issue of the month will not feature any cats. So if you were looking for kitty pics you are wasting your time. We are talking birds today. First I promised you an update on „my“ woodpigeon. On closer inspection the injuries sustained to the beek,...

Would you believe it after what you have seen yesterday, that Sander does in fact need a lot of persuasion to go outside? Once he is out in the garden, everything is fine. Sometimes he is even one of the last ones to come back in again but stepping over that threshold...

Last week Sander was feeling his oats. I could barely follow him with the camera so fast was he up and down the trees. He started with the little maple in the pond, then he dashed up the magnolia, only to be down in a second and up the blood plum. There he stayed for...

Well done, cat experts Ruth, Micki and Martin! You got it right, the answer is c). Martin even got the cats as there is Joschi at the right, whose fair fur is really obvious, left to him is Islay, who is lying next to the catnip as per usual and Marvi’s head is...

In case you have asked yourselves why there were no issues on Thursday and Friday, the answer is I have been busy saving a woodpigeon. As mentioned before, our windows are far more dangerous to birds than all cats combined. So when I heard a really loud thud on...
