If the cats had their way they would want all be able to come and go as they please on both sides of the house. The mere thought makes me dizzy! They would chase right through the house and their „presents“ aka mice would no doubt be deposited right on the...

Autumn, time of plenty! While the flowers are heading for the finish line the berries and mushrooms are just getting started. It goes beyond saying that the cats are the gourmets mentioned in the headline. Watch restaurant critics Islay and Joschi tasting and...
