Last Friday (when else?) a catastrophe happened: Our big sliding terrace door got stuck and would not open anymore. For the cats that meant that they had to enter the house via the side window. Quite obviously too much change for some… ——– An...

Today’s autumn issue features the various mushrooms that mysteriously pop up in our garden at this time of the year. Though I learned which wild plants are edible in order to be able to collect fresh greens for the bunnies, I would never dare collecting...

Of course the title „toad hunt“ turns out half as bad as it sounds. First I am hunting for baby toads and frogs that mysteriously find their way in our basement to set them free outside and then the cats hunt for the grown up variety though the amphibians...

As I am not the world’s best housekeeper, towels and stepladders are not the only things that left are standing around. I also forgot to secure the „good“ seat cushions after some visitors left. Naturally the house cats Mira and Marvi seize the...

Today I am late yet again as I needed to mend our cat fence as serial jail breaker Issi had found yet another way to leave her secure realm to explore the wilderness. Plus you can see a number of flashlight pictures as the cats – curious as ever – explore the towels...

ou may have noticed that our indoor „sofa“ happens to look exactly like out outdoor furniture, as we actually use the outdoor stuff indoors (great teflon finish keeps the dirt the cats drag in at bay). As we decided to grow up, my husband introduced a new...

Do you remember the „magic mushrooms“, the lamps (and their boxes) the cats were so interested in? We found that they did not light the garden enough and my husband had a new idea and tried a different approach: indirect lighting. (We found that that does...
