Some time during last November Jaspar and Maxine started to gobble their food down as if there was no tomorrow. Within a couple of weeks they gained so much weight that they are now looking like (furry) dumplings on legs. At first, I thought that this may be an...

Well spotted, Micki! It looks unbelievable but little Mrs. Peel is fighting with Islay and got smothered in his long winter fur – at least to begin with. Have a look at the whole sequence. As you can see our little lady knows how to defend herself and how to get...

Last Saturday Mira had disappeared. I saw her when I drove to the pet store at around 3 pm but when I later called her she did not come. At first, I was not worried as none of the cats would dream of interrupting a hunt. But when I called her again an hour later she...
