We have been lucky. The storm hit aus with full force at about 21:45 h on Monday night. After a dramatic build-up – it got pitch black within half an hour – the worst thunderstorm since Kryrill in 2007 raged for over an hour with strong winds, rain,...

While yesterday’s tunnel or the scratching stem are appropriate cat toys you can trust Mira to chose the most inappropriate ones. Whenever you drop a piece of cling film, a paper clip, a bit of sticky tape or a bottle top you can be sure that Mira will find it...

In the last issues Joschi was at the fringe of things. Time to change that! The good news is that his condition has improved impressively. Actually, after his last blood test, he is not only doing fine but his creatinine (a marker for kidney function) is in the normal...

Today I can finally show you our new scratching stem in all its glory. As usual, the team was more interested in it lying on the floor than standing upright. As you will see it is really quite substantial – in fact so substantial and heavy that I was not able to...

Can you see something in the above photo? No? No wonder! Due to the persistent rain not only Ginger’s morning stroll fell through but also the bat watching that was planned for Wednesday night. You can see the „success“ of an earlier photo attempt...

Is the idiom „It is raining cats and dogs“ a common expression you would use? I was once told that it is as uncommon as the German equivalent a former English teacher once told us (see below). In any case, it has been raining persistently for 2 days now and while it...

Summer can come. We are ready: The patio furniture is in place, the plants and pots are in position and even some old favourite toys are back, albeit a little faded. As I had human help, everything went quickly and smoothly. And the only thing the cats needed to do is...
