Happy New Year

copyright Helen White 2010

In the run up to our departure we were not even sure if we should drive through the snow all the way from Cardiff to Stansted to get the plane to Cologne. It was snowing heavily in the morning, but we decided to go anyway, because our flight was not cancelled. We just got through the worst, if we’d set off an hour later and we would have been caught in massive traffic jams and possibly an accident.

Cats and Snow

It’s snowing and the country is in panic mode. I really don’t get it. It snows every winter – so by now everyone should be kind of – well prepared. In Germany when it snows and you want to use your car by law you have to have winter tyres. Anyway the news is full of snow features, but what about our furry friends – in my case – our cat?

Bobby has a new friend – so it seems

It looks like Bobby has found herself a little pet mouse (well that’s pure assumption) in the garden under all the plants and she spends ages just watching that particular spot. So far we couldn’t make out in the dark (cause it’s only in the evenings she watches whatever it is) what animal she is observing, but we have this image of a cute mouse just hovering there, eating, while Bobby looks at it trying to befriend it. I don’t see why it is not possible. After all the animal world is full of stories of unusual friendships…

Bobby loves Ikea

Cats are often peculiar when it comes to changes in their territory. In extreme cases they will spray in places they are not supposed to when furniture has been moved or added. Bobby however is always excited when we add a new piece of furniture. Last week be bought a bookcase, which also works as …

Save the Tiger…and other wild cats

I can’t imagine the world without tigers. Unfortunately these beautiful animals are on the brink of extinction. Scientists estimate that fewer than 3,000 tigers exist in the wild living in 13 countries across Asia. A hundred years ago it was about 100,000. The Java, Caspian and Bali subspecies have already become extinct while life for …

Bobby in a box

Bobby

Our cat is incredibly nosey and likes small boxes – she even sleeps in them. I thought I share a few photos of her which we took a couple of weeks ago.

A new cat in the hood – and he is a bit of a pain..

Our cat is a tad stressed at the moment due to an uninvited visitor. He’s a gorgeous, very skinny tabby with white paws and friendly to us, but wants to take over not only Bobby’s garden, but also her food. Understandable as he is really emaciated and obviously not that well cared for by his …

Bobby loves television

  Our cat is full of surprises and the latest is that after 4 years with us she finally has discovered the joys of watching  television. Usually she doesn’t care much about it when it’s on and often  just snoozes, but for a couple of days now she is transfixed by it. She responds to …

Please adopt a cat if you want to live with one..

Today I received a worrying press release from Cats Protection about the decline in cat adoptions due to the recession. According to the release 16 out of their 24 adoption centres have noticed a decline, which means a lot of furry friends are in desperate need of a loving home. The adoption centre in Wrexham …
