Our raiding squad consists of only one party: Islay. The German term refers to the fact that Islay loves to come from behind, jumps at his victim head first and does a forward roll over it. My hopes that Sander would turn into a magnificient sparring partner for our...

Congrats Micki, Susette, Tamara and Ruth! You all got it right! But for the first time, there is more than one correct answer. As you can see above, the first and best answer is c). Sander is looking up to Isfrid who is already high up in the tree. He does also...

Better get a move on! This is definitely no Monday Morning Riddle anymore – not even in LA. So let’s get to the point quick and back to simple guessing. 😉 What do you think Sander is doing? a) He is watching a bird. b) He is contemplating whether to climp...

The tulip patch never ceases to surprise us. This year we are staring in amazement at all those white and light yellow flowers. Did we really plant those? I could have sworn that we had loads of different colours. Maybe later? Never mind, the cats and I enjoy the...

Actually, I had planned to walk through the spring garden with you, but I had no time preping all the photos yet as Issi kept us on our toes. As no cat had shown any interest in exploring the other side of the fence for quite some time we got a little careless. But...

Congratulations Karl-Theodor and Micki! You were the first who dared to leave a comment and you were right, too!! And the most amazing thing is that Micki does not even own a cat. Micki, maybe you should think about it? I admit that options c and d seem to be very...

Brrr! What a week we had after that first spring weekend – single digit temperatures every day. But since Saturday things are improving and new blooms appear nearly every day. But before I show you a garden in bloom not to mention the infamous tulip patch, it is...

See? I told you this riddle was easy. Tamara, Karl-Theodor and Antje got it right and Susette not only detected the cats but explained it perfectly: Mrs. Peel is hiding in the bottom left corner and Islay’s left ear can be seen on the right of the fig tree. So...

First let’s talk about last Friday, April 1st – and April Fools‘ Day!! I wish I could concoct a slimming potion or even a growth elexir! I would be rich over night! But unfortunately we are not in Hogwarts either, so it was all a fib. The...

I should never promise to be back on a given day. This seems to be the guarantee for not making it! My apologies! But let’s not beat about the bush, because I have something really exciting to tell you today! During our „bunny period“ I had to learn...

Our first Easter Special without a bunny! Even though I know that we found Lilly the best home and partner ever, Jaspar and I are still missing our morning outings to the bunny meadow and when I am cooking I still make too much salad. So instead of an Easter Bunny you...

As promised I am going to show you a couple of blunders today. The tunnel plays a leading part as both Isfrid as well as Sander miscalculate its width and flexibility. In the first picture story Issi wants to attack Sander who is hiding inside the tunnel but the jump...

Congratualtions Karl-Theodor and Susette! Well guessed! I am not sure whether Mrs. Peel would have kept her balance if any of the b) and c) interventions had happened but so she manages to get up straight and walks over the backrest with ease....

Cats look so elegant – most of the time! Even they have the odd moment when something does not go according to plan. So this week I want to show you a couple of blunders or near blunders. Let’s start with Mrs. Peel and our Monday Morning question. As you...

In time for the astronomical start of spring and the vernal equinox on Sunday, March 20th, I have a very nice yawing sequence of Joschi in our usual „spring fever series“ for you. So far March has been colder than December and January and even though we...

Nuthatches are the only birds (at least in Europe if not worldwide) that can climb down a tree trunk head first. As the picture I was able to take through the kitchen window is such poor quality that you can barely see this amazing bird, here more information and much...

Tamara nearly crawled into her screen – Susette obviously, too, as they both got it right with answer b). Congrats! When you look really hard you can faintly see Marvi’s white jabot in the shadow of the junipers. ————– Tamara...

Another „spot the hidden cat(s)“ riddle! As the other one was so easy that all of you got it, I tried to make it a little more difficult, or didn’t I? Isfrid, Mrs. Peel and Sander are clear to see. But are they the only cats in that photo? a) Yes,...

See you tomorrow – well the German equivalent – I wrote on Tuesday, before I was hit by a work tsunami. And I know I am late today, too, but I did not want to leave you without wishing you a happy weekend! We talked about today’s topic before but as...

According to the rules in human track and field, a race is won by the runner whose torso crosses the finish line first. Applied here, Sander wins (see offical photo finish). So congrats to Sonia and Karl-Theodor, you guessed correctly! Even though he tries really...
