Cats love Meat or Sharing your Dinner 2008-04-03 05:48:00 Whenever one of us, either my boyfriend or me, are coming home, Chica & Pumuckl immediately interrupt what they were doing, if it was sleeping or snuggling or eating, and they are running to the door. They hear us already from the building entrance and listen to our steps till we finally reach floor number 4. I guess they do this cause they are expecting we bring something nice for them.Their favorite is bringing home some ready food. Especially if my boyfriend gets some grilled meat meat with him. Then Chica & Pumuckl will follow him to the table. Like yesterday. Pumuckl is not such a fan of meat, he prefers yogurt and treats, but in favor of his Mommy he is also joining the noise.Actually my boyfriend then has a hard time enjoying his meat:If you liked this post you might want to Read more:Sharing

Cats on Tour through Egypt: The River Nile 2008-04-08 05:46:00 ... Chica is teaching Pumuckl Egypt
ian historyPumuckl, today I gonna show you the River
Nile, the main artery of Egypt. I hope you are excited as I am. We will also take a ride on a felucca!Where is the River Nile?The Nile is the longest river in the world, stretching north for approximately 4,000 miles from East Africa to the Mediterranean. Studies have shown that the River gradually changed its location and size over millions of years.The Nile flows from the mountains in the south to the Mediterranean in the north. The Nile is the longest river in Africa and also considered as the longest river of the world. Just 22% of the Nile are located in Egypt.Why did the Ancient Egyptians live near the River Nile?Most Egyptians lived near the Nile as it provided water and excellent soil for growin
History Flashback: The first days with a kitten 2008-04-07 05:30:00 Having a newborn kitten is amazing. In the end I am so glad Chica was coming to us already pregnant and we didn't decide for abortion otherwise we would have never had such wonderful days with her and little Pumuckl.The first day of Pumuckl I was spending all my time with them. They were both sitting in their wardrobe. From beginning Chica accepted us to stay with them and to touch Pumuckl. No hissing, no meowing, I guess she was just happy that we sit beside her. Maybe she was also happy that we fall in love with Pumuckl and decided directly to keep him. I believe cats feel this.She was warming Pumuckl well and always took care when she moved to not hurt him in any way. She didn't eat much as for this she would have had to leave Pumuckl alone, so sometimes I brought her some food and she Read more:History
Home turns into desert or Cats leaving footprints 2008-04-09 05:23:00 A few days ago I mentioned in the comment section that we have quite lots of wind these days. Pumuckl is really scared when the curtains are flying around and I always just hope he won't sit in his favorite place in balcony these days and fly away.Strong wind in a country of desert like Egypt is really a problem. I hate to close the windows as we all love to get some fresh air. But unfortunately this behavior turns
our home into desert too. We have got sand everywhere. In the floor, tables, the wall system. However I clean, it comes back.The funny part of that is: We can see where the cats have stayed during the day. They are leaving their footprints everywhere.Looks like we are never cleaning, huh? This is the result of one night with wind.This used to be our dining table which is used w
Cats are nocturnal or Catch the Ribbon 2008-04-11 05:29:00 Everyone knows cats are nocturnal. I love my cats but I am against the idea of waking me up in the middle of the night because both of them need to play. I really love to sleep. So we got Chica & Pumuckl used to our circadian rhythm. They sleep when we are sleeping and they wake us up just 10 minutes before the alarm is ringing.In order to not wake us up in night because Chica and Pumuckl cannot sleep, I have created an all evening ritual which is Catch
the Ribbon
. When I am preparing for bed I always take their beloved brown ribbon with me. Pumuckl knows this already. He loves to play with the ribbon. So whenever I am going to the bedroom in night he is already jumping towards and is waiting on the bed until I arrive.Playing Catch the Ribbon is extra fun in the bed. There are blankets
Why Pumuckl is called like a mancat 2008-04-10 05:17:00 Pumuckl is not a mancat! He is a female ginger, exactly like his Mommy. But why we say "he" when we actually talk about her?Well, after we received several comments of our readers assuming Pumuckl is a mancat, my boyfriend and I discussed yesterday how we got the idea to call Pumuckl a guy. The answer is: We don't remember. It was like that from beginning.When Pumuckl was born and I saw him for the first time I directly got the idea the name Pumuckl would fit very well with him. He had red hair like his Mama, his eyes have been huge, his nose as well and the nose was red. Plus, he was very tiny.Pumuckl - Original and CopyThe original Pumuckl is a TV figure from Germany. There are several movies about his adventures. Pumuckl is a kobold which can just been seen by several people (and by kid
Having visitors means The Cats get food 2008-04-12 05:43:00 When we have visitors Chica and Pumuckl are always a bit shy. They don't like strangers so much and always run away in the first days. But every visitor can catch them with food!Let's face it: Chica and Pumuckl are really spoiled cats. They get anything whenever they want. They don't like to eat the same food every day, they prefer a big variety of dry and soft food and special treats. As Egypt unfortunately doesn't offer this big variety it is sometimes a bit hard for them. We just have overpriced Whiskas cans and some other rare treats here.But fortunately from time to time we get visitors from Germany who bring huuuuge luggage full of cat food. Like today. And Chica and Pumuckl are really happy. The customs officers are always amused and some of them also ask what a tourist is going to Read more:Having
Furball Situation or Vomiting Cats 2008-04-14 04:40:00 While dropping Entrecard I have found other great blogs. One which I like very much is DeadRooster.com. Once he posted something about cats and fur balls. I was such an amazing and funny post, that I would love to share it with you. DeadRooster is explaining the 3 steps of how to recognize a furball situation.Just a small excerpt:1 The HuffYour cat gets scrunche down on all fours with its neck stretched out and begins to huff.2 QuagmireAt this stage, your cat will stiffen its front legs and violently percolate as it bobs its head up-and-down like Quagmire from Family Guy. This motion is always accompanied by the “Hicka-hicka-hicka” noise universally recognized as the “she’s about to blow” warning.3 Geraldo RiveraAfter this rather spastic episode, your cat will immediately begin t

ian can do belly dance! We know how to move and to know since we are born. This lays in our genes, you know!Most of the tourists visiting Egypt wach at least one of the famous belly dance shows. Travel agencies and hotels are offering traditional nights and excursions which include the oriental dance show.Pumuckl: Mommy, do you know some of the most famous belly dancers in Egypt?The Egyptian-style belly dance (Arabic = raqs sharqi) is based on Baladi an later the work of belly dance legends Samia Gamal, Tahiya Karioka, Naima Akef, and other dancers who rose to fame during the golden years of the Egyptian film industry.

Egypt's Stray Cats 2009-04-16 06:39:00 Before Chica came to us she was a stray cat. Living in the streets of our town, eating from the rubbish.We have thousands of strays in our town. Most of them dirty, sick, poor. They are either living in the back streets near to the dumps or in the main street near to any restaurant. McDonald's has put already signs "Please do not feed the cats" because they are becoming more and more.Every day I see cats. Everywhere. Pregnant cats, kittens. I feel sorry for them. More sorry I feel when I see kids running behind those cats, throwing stones after them or punishing them with wood. Remembering the times of Ancient Egypt
when cats have been treated as gods, it's even more sad.One time I was sitting in the office and heard a tiny meow from outside. There was a little kitten, maybe 10 days old, h Read more:Stray
New Cat Friends 2008-04-18 04:30:00 Sometimes, once or twice a year, we get some animal visitors in our flat which nobody wants. These animals are small or medium sized, brown, and actually very disgusting. Actually I don't know how they arrive to us, we don't open the door for them.Chica and Pumuckl always discover them first. They sit beside and watch them carefully. They wait for the right moment to run behind it until it's laying on its back.Until we finally notice. And eliminate their new friend.

New Cat Toys or Playing with Decorations 2008-04-19 05:13:00 When having some cocktails in our favorite bar we got well decorated glasses. When I saw the decoration I directly got the idea this would be the perfect toy for Chica and Pumuckl. I told the bartender and he was happy to provide us with more cocktails with more decoration for our cats, especially after showing him a photo of them.Chica and Pumuckl are crazy about their new toys. Their grandfather made a nice construction out of the decoration and the ribbon, so all great toys are combined.After playing with grandpa for one hour it was definitely time for a nap. Chica and Pumuckl took the chance when all of us being in balcony and reserved the sofa for themselves.We recently also found the orange again. But as they got their new toys this orange is not interesting enough anymore. They just

Visiting the Vet or Angry Kitty 2008-04-21 05:45:00 Yesterday it was time to repeat Chica's FAVN test. We had to visit the vet. With her only. And Pumuckl had to stay in home. Anyway that was better for him as he hates to go out. The only time he has been out in his short life was for the FAVN test with Chica and he didn't stop to Meow all the way until we arrived. He was truly afraid from the world outside. Chica as a former stray cat knows the outside world and has never been afraid, anyway she visited the vet already several times for her neutering and tests and vitamin injections.But yesterday everything has been different. Chica didn't want to go to her box so we had to push her inside. Then she didn't stop to Meow until we drive the car. It was a real orchestra of Meow before we finally head to the vet: Chica from inside the box and P Read more:Kitty

Cleanest cat nose on earth or a Birthday 2008-04-23 05:27:00 Yes, Pumuckl has the probably cleanest cat nose on earth. Whenever we look at his face and nose we cannot see any dirt in it. Comparing his nose with Chica's, you will see what I mean: This has not always been like that. When Pumuckl has still been a kitten his nose and eyes have always been full of black dirt spots. Before taking pictures and in the morning and in lunch time and in the evening we have been cleaning his nose. By the way, this was the time when cotton buds became intersting for both to play with.Pumuckl with a dirty nose at the age of 4 monthsI guess he was quite annoyed from getting cleaned by Chica AND us so he decided to take care about his nose himself. Chica is still cleaning him but his eyes and nose he is taking care about. And he takes care a lot. Never we see Pum Read more:Birthday
Ticklish Cat and a Lost Collar 2008-04-25 05:03:00 Pumuckl is a very special cat. Not only is he considered a mancat although being a female ginger and not only he is smaller than he should be at his age and he will not grow anymore but also he is ticklish. Did you hear about ticklish cats before?Chica loves me rubbing her belly or doing paw massage. With Pumuckl this is not possible. He is ticklish in his belly, his paws, his backside. Snuggling with Pumuckl means just rubbing his chin or scritching his neck. That's it. No more.Even the vet had his problems with ticklish Pumuckl. He wanted to take him up but Pumuckl didn't like at all that he had to touch his belly during that. Whenever touching his ticklish area Pumuckl is biting. I mean he is still so small it doesn't hurt but indeed it's very funny.A few days ago I told you about Pumuc Read more:Collar

Spring Feast & Pumuckl Neuter Updates 2008-04-28 03:43:00 Today all Egyptians are celebrating the Sham El-Nassim, the SpringFeast
.The Sham El-Nassim, literally meaning ‘sniffing the breeze’, marks the beginning of the spring and has been celebrated already 4500 years ago by the Ancient Egyptians and is one of the oldest festivals still celebrated today. The feast was originally developed from the Pharaonic celebration of the harvest season, which was known as Shamo.As their ancenstors offered salted fish, lettuce and onions Gods to ensure a successful harvest season, today the Egyptians enjoy this as traditional Sham El-Nassim food. Each food has a symbolic significance. Lettuce and “Malana” a leafy green plant similar to lettuce, symbolize the hope that the beginning of spring brings.
