No TV

Posted by Volker in personal on June 24, 2011

My cat seems to oppose the idea of me watching TV by sitting in front of the remote control sensor :-(

German Engineering – or how to potty train a cat

Posted by Volker in family, house, personal on January 12, 2009

Our cats are now almost 6 months. Gretel has been sterilized and therefore, they are outside quite a lot. However, they still have not been going outside to the loo.

It was definitely going to be too much, so on Saturday I decided to take the litter tray outside. When the cats went to their usual place in the house looking for the tray, we carried them outside. And, they both did their poo outside. Yippee!

Wow, what a progress.

Now, I was worried that it might rain. So I used my imagination and engineering skills (if you didn’t know, I have a mechanical engineering degree :-) ) to build a poo tent.  My wife gave me some practical hints too. Maybe not quite a portaloo but surely something all other cats will envy our cats for, don’t you think. Let’s just hope the wind does not pick up.

German Engineering I guess, hehe.

Btw, have you seen the new matrix style Volkswagen Ad on TV?

why is my blog so quiet

Posted by Volker in family, personal on September 17, 2008

…because our house is soo busy.

Kittens everywhere. We locked them in the spare bedroom for a few days but let them out last night – first time. Here are the shots from my phone, them playing about. Crazy cute things :-)

We surely add more pictures soon to Picasa and Facebook. The ones below are taken with my camera, so apologies for the quality.

Our family is growing – update 1

Posted by Volker in family, personal on September 7, 2008

After all the technical hype of last week, I am back at home for the weekend and keep busy with my family. As you know I am married, and as married life is, you start thinking about growing the family.

Update 1 I want to call this….

No, no kiddies yet but “kitties”. My wife and I decided, in order to get used to getting up at night, feeding at certain times of the day and to take on responsibility for small creatures, to grow the family by 1 or even 2 kittens. Latter depends on what we can find :-)

So, yesterday we started with the essentials and went to Pets at Home.

What we got – and please let us know what we might still need. This is a first one for us:

And, what we are hoping to get are similar ones to those, as kittens of course:

Haensel?

Haensel?

Gretel?

Gretel?

I keep you posted. Hopefully we have them by next weekend!
