Comparing the water inrush in our cellar with the great deluge is of course a huge exaggeration but I sure felt as helpless. On Thursday night we had a terrible thunderstorm accompanied with torrential rain that lasted for hours. When I checked the basement at 23:00...

Remember issue 39? There you were able to watch the cats play with indoor toys but also with everyday items like paper bags and laundry baskets. But that cats can have fun with ordinary „items“ is not only true indoors. Today Joschi and Ice-B will show you...

To be able to rescue mice, fogs and toads I keep a bucket with a „lid“ (a plastic place mat) handy. Have a look what happens if a big cat like Islay wants to be „rescued“ as well. PS: Regarding the issue on CRI – After a comment by Ruth I...

As yesterday’s issue had enough text for five blogs, I promise that you will have more to look at the coming days. Because we will concentrate on outdoor games and „toys“ for the rest of the week. As you can see today, our bench is not only perfect...

After the mess I created last week I really don’t know whether this is our 375th issue or already the 376th. I decided on a sort of a special edition anyway as our lives have changed since a blood test last month. A new poster is hanging in the waiting room of...

First of all A BIG think you to all that voted for our Katzenparade top model! I will need a couple of days to prepare a page with all the images, so stay tuned. And here is the garden stroll I promised you on Friday / or early Saturday morning. As you can see I...

And I had planned such a nice stroll through the garden with you! But a lot of things happend today: Susanne, the cat’s favourite „doctor“ paid a visit, I had to think about new ways of feeding some of them, Susanne and I saved a mouse and last but...

Summer is back on the hill – at least for a couple of days. So let me show today and tomorrow what is happening in our garden and how the cats have fun in the sun. Due to our extraordinary rainy/warm/rainy weather this year, a lot of plants are blooming for the...

Last year Joschi failed to appear in your nominations. As he was so often in the news this year, there is no danger of that now. But another of our all-star cast is in danger of slipping under your radar. None of the numerous photos that you have nominated so far is...

People who don’t own a cat cannot believe that I don’t have to do anything to keep Issi’s and Ice-B’s as pure as driven snow. All you cat owners do of course know that a cat’s tongue is the perfect grooming tool. Breeders may bathe their...

Somewhere on the website I wrote that with cats you learn something new every day. You can see the reason why there was no Katzenparade on Friday above. While eating his usual portion of grass, one stalk got stuck so unluckily in Ice-B’s throat that neither...

As we have seen many times before going up a tree is no problem. How about going down? Like Islay demonstrates you can just jump. That ia true for „normal“ trees with a big trunk. But how does cat descent an evergreen? By using the branches like a spiral...

Interested what the „tulip patch“ looks like now? Ice-B is taking you on a tour through that part of the garden where we meet a couple of butterflies. Did you know that butterflies have different strategies to survive the winters in our climate? Some...

There are a couple of issues now that explain how cats mark their territory. Today I want to share some pictures of Islay that show him marking our little baby apple tree. As I happened to be real close you can see very well how he leaves his personal mark by using...

After you had ample time to explore old issues this week, I don’t want you to leave for the weekend (a long bank holiday weekend even in the UK) without a new edition. Here in Germany we are experiencing the first signs of autumn as it is unseasonably cold at...

As the voting for the cat top models of 2014 has been really sluggish so far and as there are 1424 images to chose from, I thought it might help if I draw your attention to a couple of my favourites. Let’s start with – what else? – January. As you...

This is one of the topics we have had before and more than once but when I was able to take new (and cute) photos I just want to share them with you. So bear with me! Maybe there is a fact in this that you did not know 🙂 In contrast to bunnies cats don’t need a...
