Thank you very much. I actually took two really beautiful pics that morning. Hope you enjoy a swan spreading its wings in the morning mist:

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 :-)

This is exactly why I’m doing most of my posts bilingual: It’s a fun way to learn such things. I also tend to translate location names, such as Oaktown for Eichstätt.

Here is the full album that I created this way if you’re interested: Today I went on a walk with my dad in my hometown https://imgur.com/gallery/z1ddA72

Sometimes they protect trees with some chain-link fence or something similar wrapped around the tree trunk

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.

The Altmühl valley is a popular bike or canoe tourist destination.

Germany has taken some serious “renaturation” steps to fix the grave errors done since the 1940s to 1980s where they straightened rivers and dried up a lot of land. E.g. at all of Altmühl’s weirs they dug a little creek around it to enable fish to migrate or sometimes even bigger projects like this one:

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…

If you’re interested here is the full album. This is the best desire path though.

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.
