or the nearly perfect hiding place. This month our kidney patients need to go to their regular blood test again. Last time I had loaded all the cats into the car. The short drive proved to be plain hell as the youngsters made a terrible racket. Especially Issi made...

This morning I heard on the radio (we listen to an English station) that Brits spend more than £47million on Christmas presents for pets. To help you decide what to buy for your cat – apart from treats and snacks – we have another of our toy testing...

Should you have asked yourselves why I had not written any more blogs this week – now you know! I was busy creating the Katzenparade calendar for 2015. You can see the cover above. After last year’s comment from our non-German readers, I have entered the...

Yesterday was the first Sunday in Advent and today is the December 1st which means only 24 days to Christmas! Do you know what you will give to your loved ones? Some of you may be super organised and are already all set but if you have not even a clue I have a...

Cat owners know this scenario only too well: A moment ago their darling was soundly and peacefully relaxing on its favourite spot when it suddenly jumps up as if stung by an adder and whirls around the house like a trapped ball lightning. Like possessed your cat flies...

All around the world roof ornaments have been popular since ancient times. Christian churches are adorned with crosses, weathercocks and finials. The minarets of mosques are often decorated with half moons while lions and dragons can be found on chinese roofs. These...

Even though we had wonderfully warm weather yet again on Sunday and some flowers are still blooming, I thought it wise to finally prepare for cold nights and frost. As you can see, most perennials in the „tulip patch“ have already been cut down to the...

I learned last week that you cannot get everything on the Internet. As Ginger is not as flexible as he used to be, he sometimes has difficulties jumping on his bed and his scratching post. On a photo Susette and Alexander kindly shared with me (you will find out in a...

Today we had the first frost. Our readers in the eastern US will probably have a laughing fit when reading this as they are currently drowning in feet of snow. But I only want to use the weather as an excuse for yet another box issue because as it is getting colder...

Tiger alarm near Paris! What does a normal citizen do nowadays when he spots a tiger in the car park of his local supermarket? He takes a photo! Then he notifies the authorities. For days French police and experts have been looking for a big feline predator. Turns out...

Remember that picture? We have come a long way since then. The days when Mira was just peeking through an open door are history. She does not only like to go onto the first floor terrace. She is really looking forward to going outside into the front yard. In the...

On Friday I literally left you hanging high and dry. So let’s quickly start the new week with the conclusion of our little series (and no, there will be no Christmal special 😉 Does Islay manage to get onto „The Bench“ again? Will Joschi interfere?...

As it is movie week in our town, the Katzenparade team and the Maplewood Studios will do their best to entertain you with their latest production. What does Hollywood do, when a movie is a success? Make a sequel! And what Hollywood can do, we can do even better. In...

A lot happened! On Saturday your Katzenparade celebrated its second birthday – quite unbelievable. If somebody had told me then… Then Isfrid must have had a wild night in the basement. She did not want to come out, limped and complained loudly when her...

or: This bench is not big enough for both of us. Ruthless Islay M. and his brother and sidekick Isbjörn, aka Ice-B, are now notorious all over the web for their predatory behaviour against females. The tyrants of the back garden have already claimed the climbing ash...

It may already be Thursday but the warm weather we had over the last weekend is still noteworthy. After all we broke another „heat record“ for the beginning of November. While the cats are starting to get their winter fur, the garden is still a mixture of...

Sometimes I do have to work and earn all that money I spend on cat food, toys and – not to forget – the vet. So there was no Halloween special, no Monday edition and this is also a pitiful issue as it is only to quickly inform you that we are all fit and...

In our household the life expectancy of a piece of cat-on scratch furniture is a little over three months. I liked the first model „La Ola“ a lot but the next we tried was too small (in my opinion). So I ordered my favourite and two different, rather low...
