Happy New Year!

2009-01-05T10:41:00.010+01:00

We hope you all had a nice and peacefull Christmas.

No, we don't give up blogging. Advent season should be a time of reflectiveness but it is more and more a time of unconsciousness. So much to do, to buy, to visit, to go. So no one has time to write the blog for us. OK for us it is a funny time. Our service stuff place a tree for us in the living room with lots of things to play with under it.

Love

S&F

Wordless Wednesday!

Vase of flowers or drinking bowl?

Back to Blog - to avoid another wordless week

2008-09-29T22:51:00.003+02:00

They are back and we needed another 3 weeks to get them back on the blog with writing!
They are all alive and more or less relaxed. Three weeks of sun and 30°C (=86°F).
No, not here in Germany, in Toscana/Italy. We had to stay here in Germany. Our sense of responsibility does not allow us to travel around the world.

Who should take care of the house and look after all?

Who should catch mice and take them into the house?

Who should lie around and have a nap?

Who should take care for the carpet with his claws?

Who should leave hair everywhere?

...these are all very important tasks. A house would not be house without this!
Are there any news? Yes there are, but they are not that good.
Our good friend Romeo from Toscana is missed since last autum. Because autum is hunting time we are afraid that he was killed. We lost a nice and gentle friend! You can see a picture of him in the Toscana blog.
Another friend is gone during our blogging break. Winnie, a white Shetland pony, which lived near our home, is gone over the rainbow bridge. We will remember Winnie for ever.

F&S

Wordless Wednesday!

Smilla's uncle and mother in perfect harmony!

Time to say Good Bye...

2008-08-14T23:38:00.017+02:00

...for the next three weeks.

Our service stuff is burned out and needs a little bit regeneration. So we will send them to a motivation camp to Italy.
In the lovely Toscana they will be coached by our dear friends

Bjondo...

...coolest man cat ever and master of dog irritation!! He can totally ignore dogs. A thing they can not handle.

Lovley Romeo...

...an esthete

Pippi, an old nice lady dog
...and finally Rambo. Young, friendly and a good buddy of Dad

We hope they are relaxed and in balance when they come back...

...and Dad will not be send to prison like these two photographers

...and the rest of the family will not be eaten by a monster like this

In the meantime we will be served by three nice ladies which live upstairs.
Unfortunately they only will give us food and hugs but they will do no office work for us like blogging.

Have a nice time!

Findus & Smilla

p.s. ... there where seven cats (six tigers and one Smilla) on the first picture in the last blog.

An award and other pleasent events

2008-08-10T19:37:00.006+02:00

Wow,
this is speeding up! We got an award as a welcome gift from Mrs. OZ from THE CAT REALM.
Thank you very much for this! We are beginners and we'll do our very best to be worth this award. But we have a problem with our service stuff. Our Dad ist not a great writer, he likes more taking photos and our Mom doesn't like computers that much, because they never do what she wants them to do. She thinks she is hexed, because when Dad does exactly the same, it functions well.

So, what happend here in the last days?
Last week our Mom and Dad build a new room for us. We are sure, that all things, they do, they do for us. For example they cry out with enthusiasm when we use the handwoven carpet in the living room to sharpen our claws. Why use a scratching post, when they gave us such a nice gift to us to do scratching?
Back to the new room. As you can see it is obvious that this is our room.
By the way, how much cats can you see on the first photo (You'll get the answer in the next post)?

Because we are very tolerant, we allow one of the younger service stuff members to use the room and to warm up the bed for us.

Another Thing! We did this "needs meme" with google like Mrs. OZ. Very funny!
"Findus needs" gets only one hit but a realy true statement:
"Findus needs well-educated and trained employees"

"Smilla needs" gets more hits, but very funny too:
"Smilla needs to be in control of the situation to feel good. Otherwise she gets impossible."
"Global Warming is causing the icecaps to melt so Smilla needs your help to rebuild them!"
Findus didn't like this one:
"And that smilla needs to find somebody other than (him) to waste (her) time with for a quickie?"

Love,

Findus & Smilla

Love Cats

2008-08-08T13:20:00.003+02:00

Yes, we love each other. It's more in a platonic way. Our service stuff - we call them Mom and Dad - did something to us. So we can not do the real thing. But it's OK for us, we are happy anyway.
I'm a slave to her and she looks up to me.

When we first met:

What's this???

Oh, it's so interesting what he is doing:

Wow, and he can disappear through walls and go OUTSIDE. What is OUTSIDE?

Nice, I can play with this thing:

...and she likes it!

And now we are together:

There's a dog! Protect me, Findus!
Forever in love!

Love,

Findus & Smilla

Master of Relaxation

2008-08-08T11:49:00.004+02:00

OK, now it's my turn for introduction. I was born in May 2002 on a barnyard in Southern Germany near Tuebingen and came to my family, when I was 6 weeks old. Here are a few analog photos of my first days in my new home:

For a accurate documentation of my life, I advised my Dad to acquire a digital camera.
And so we got a flood of photos of me in many different situations.
OK, not so many. Because mostly I'm TOTALLY RELAXED!

See you,

Findus

p.s. next you will see "Love Cats"

Ladies first!

First I want to introduce me with a view photos.
I was born in May 2004 in a horse stable in Northern Germany. Here a few photos of my first days when I was 3 to 6 weeks old:

That's me, Smilla...

ON THE TOP since my early days:

With my cat mom and all my brothers and sisters:

With my beloved grandma, who also cares for me:

In fight with my brother:

As little kitty, computer cat, Christmas cat, hunting cat...

...look forward to Findus photos. Will follow soon!

Love,

Smilla
