Good Monday! I have so many photos of the cats chasing each other that I thought I turn one series into a quest for you. What started with Islay chasing Sander turned into a race. What do you think? Who wins? a) Sander, he can defend his lead until the end. b) Islay,...

Is the famous Amber Room burried underneath „The Bench“? The rumor mill is turning. Is there a hidden treasure underneath the famous „Bench“? Is it even the famous Amber Room that got lost in the turmoil of World War II? More and more...

Instead of a special edition at 550 I want to celebrate the 555th issue with you instead. Isn’t that number ever so fetching? I have loads of portraits for you today that also show each cat in a typical state. Joschi’s wide-eyed astonished look has become...

That was to be expected, just when the metereological spring has started the weather turns winterly. Time to find a nice warm spot! As you can see „enjoying some warmth on some stones“ can mean something totally different depending on the cat. While Sander...

This was obviously too easy for you. Congratualtions to the eagle eyes of all participants as you were all correct – even Jörg who got distracted because he thought I was devious. 😉 There were actually 4 cats in that picture. For all those who did not spot them,...

Good morning! Today is a special day. Not only is it the 29th of February, something that only occurs every 4 years but it is also the start of the meterological spring. Not that we had any winter to speak of and if not something really drastic happens this will be...

After you have met my favourite tree and deadwood in the first part, you can watch Jaspar and me exploring the living organisms today. First we found some rather interesting animal dens in the hollows left by uprooted trees but Jaspar refused to explore them. So I...

This year I had no reason yet to use the water hose that sits at the east of our house. Now I had to clean a tool and as usual a little runlet formed and the water followed the joints between our outdoor tiles. While Isfrid was only mildly interested Sander and...

The German version mentions Peter Wohlleben, a popular German forest ranger and author who left his cushy job as a civil servant int the forestry administration to work as a proper woodsman again. He persuaded his community to say good-bye to the current industrial...

Another accurate guess from Tamara! Congratulations! Even the best husband of all would not have to clean the gutters at this time of year. Alas, we can see and hear the buzzards but so far none has ever payed us a visit. And Mira is not going out at all at the moment...

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Here the weather was abyssmal with high winds and rain. Apart from the Norwegians who always want to go outside, the others had a severe attack of cabin fever and just when I was about to out an end to all this wild running and...

Periwinkle – what a beautiful name! How boring in comparision to the German word that simply means „Evergreen“. You have to ask Sander whether the pretty blue flowers smell of something nice. Fact is, that both he and Mrs. Peel nearly...

Today we are not talking about litter boxes of the indoor variety but about a certain connected cat behaviour. Why cats bury their faeces is not totally clear. The most common explanation is that they do not want to make their prey aware of their presence. An opinion...

Mr. Cool, aka Islay (see above), was Sander’s target and he was not amused (see below). Well done, Karl-Theodor und Micki! ————– Mr. Cool, auch Islay genannt (siehe oben), war das Angriffsziel und war „not amused“ (siehe...

Good Monday! Today Sander is showing you how an adult cat would approach an enemy – turning broadside, back arched, hair standing on end and tail fluffed. If this were serious he would also have his head slightly lowered and his ears set back. Here it is all...

Remember last year’s wonderful interview with famous heartbreaker Casius? This year, I have just the opposite for you. Maybe it is the wheather but Islay has been a real terror the last couple of weeks. He has been lying in ambush constantly ready to attack...

I still have so many images of running, jumping and frolicking cats that I have to share at least some with you. I thought I arrange them like a ballett class. Though I am not sure what the ballett equivalent of a gallop is. 😉 ————– Ich...

As I have mentioned before our part of Germany has been blessed with such mild weather that we could hardly call this season winter. You have also seen some of the results – a blooming almond tree in January and and our blood plum has started, too. And the...

Good guess, Karl-Theodor! Only Islay can drive Isfrid that crazy. (Mrs. Peel and Sander are still too young to be taken seriously.) But don’t pity her! As you can see – cads‘ fighting when ended is soon mended. Furthermore Isfrid can be a bully, too....
