Miez also accepts a harness. However it is difficult to walk with her if it isn’t on a narrow path she can follow. Also it gets tricky when there is a dog.

Ja, Miez ist eine ganz Schöne. Äußerlich wie innerlich.

Yeah Miez is really sensible to changes in my daily schedule. I mean she can cope with me not being there when I can’t work from home, but she really doesn’t like when I’m home and disturb her routines by packing and moving furniture. I make room for her as much as possible like keeping the cat tree on the balcony up. This helps her a lot as she can lie there and watch me through the closed door (there are two others) so she doesn’t hear the noise. I make a point in taking my time for her in the evening and only watch TV with headphones so it’s quiet for her.

Ertappt. Yeah my first volcano met its end after 10 years so I just got a new one.

There’s a reason why I explicitly warned my buddy of Koda’s temper before he decided to take Koda in. He just recently confirmed - once again - how right I was warning him.

Thanks for your feedback. I make a point to sound native/genuine in both languages, which is why I first write in english and then in German. I don’t want to do word by word translations but rather train my english skills plus give people the opportunity to see how the meaning of a sentence would best translate.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope she’ll be as happy in her new garden when I move even if it is smaller. It’ll definitely be a better apartment for her as I’m moving into my hometown (small city of 13k people), as she’ll have by far more visitors then currently.

My all time favourite is Lord of war. Perfect song, nice way to show the bullet production and then in the end when it hits its target… Could not imagine a better opening to this movie. Especially once you get to know that it is based on some real russian arms dealer.

Why does this post not show any picture? And why has it been upvoted?

Oh yeah it’s even her preference. When she lays besides me she lays down exactly the way that my hand is on her belly

Luckily my boss does encourage us to take care of our health including taking breaks from screen time (those 10 minutes every two hours as proposed by doctors), which are not added to our break time. He also knows I don’t take such breaks often enough which actually causes my stress level to be too high. Smokers do have some advantages regarding this I guess.

I guess it’s like a little soap opera haha. Reminds me of a reddit user that did continued stories on IIRC r/TalesFromTechSupport a few years back

I need to clear my head from time to time during work to be able to focus again. The cats are a welcomed and welcoming distraction :-)

The vet said 30 seconds to a minute. I just estimate the minute but nothing about still attached inhaler. Why do you need to keep the inhaler on? The spray is already in the chamber, isn’t it? It seems to be working really well this way, so I just don’t leave it on.

What’s the purpose of the steroids? I can basically give her everything as long as it can be grinded and mixed with that paste.

The only crime she commits from time to time is to hop on the counter (strictly forbidden of course) to fetch the sponge and tear it to shreds, which made me buy sponges with one scratchy side and one fat removal side as she only shreds the yellow side. Otherwise, she really is an angel. I can even let her into the garden mostly unsupervised (only with a tracker and from time to time looking out the window) and she won’t leave the premises.

Guess that’ one differentiation where to draw the line. Unfortunately however I’ve seen with my own eyes a cat eating another cat’s vomit, so…

Haha no I don’t feed her her own shit

Miez is almost always looking at the camera, not at me. As if she knows.

Here is Miez and her brother as kitten (#pimpcats) also 10y ago.

Not sure who is who as their colouring changed a lot while growing up. My guess is that Miez is the one looking at the camera.

Thank you! I’ll give her some belly rubs from you :)

On reddit my cats were well liked, too (r/KodaAndTheKitties, cleared out now). In my old apartment I dad a bunch more cat trees and such. E.g. a neighbour was floor layer and he gave me cardbox rolls up to 4m long. I made two of them black using duct tape, put some of the black Sisal around them (not fully though) and hung them as little walkways in my corridor plus had custom built some cat furniture (boxes with doors in front for food below and as cozy places above):

Oh that she is. Back in the day, when she wanted a door opened she would meow for her brother to come open it, which never failed.

That’s not a backpack, it’s basically a foldable bag with zippers on all edges, wheels and an expandable rod so it can easily be pulled like a suitecase. It is her second home when we’re sleeping somewhere else. In my apartment though she is rarely in it, but definitely doesn’t hate it.
