Cleaning with Cats or Pumuckl and the Mop
2008-03-17 08:44:00
Today is cleaning day. Cleaning day with me means also wet cleaning. So I filled the bucket with water and soap and wanted to get started. In the first room, the bedroom, I discovered Pumuckl. Because cat paws and wet floors is a more than bad combination, I carried him and placed him next to his mama on the sofa in living room. After finishing cleaning the bedroom suddenly I discovered how Pumuckl appeared from under the bed and started to walk all over the wet floor. Perfect! With shouting I could finally get him out. Next room, same game. Seemed to be very funny for him.Finally I reached the living room and cleaned under the armchair. When the mop was hitting something I have gone down to look... Nothing. Strange. So I continued. Next chair, right beside. Again my mop hit something. I h


Cats are Destroyers or Pumuckl and the Toilet Paper
2008-03-16 14:25:00
I appreciate my cats for being creative. It's great they find things to play with on their own so we don't need to invest money in Whiskas AND overpriced cat toys. But sometimes...As mentioned in beginning: I am German. I use to have toilet paper instead of the nice Egyptian ass shower system and I need plenty of it. That's why usually our bathroom is equipped with 2 rolls. And usually they are in a good shape!I say usually because Pumuckl has discovered how funny toilet paper can be. And how great it is to break it in order to play with it! As a result of his game our home looked like that when we came home:But inside the bathroom it was even worse. For all who cannot see anything despite toilet paper - once this has been our bathtub:Well, the problem having cats instead of kids is: I can

A feline needs a tomcat or Pumuckl's Voice
2008-03-15 02:33:00
Just a few times in our lifes we really feel Pumuckl is not a male. Such a time we are in now, cause since two days we have the hassle! Pumuckl wants a tomcat!Still, also if it is already the third time, we cannot believe that our little one has such feelings. He is still small in size and imagining him having this feeling is still hard. Until now we didn't let the vet do a castration with him as we had such a bad experience with Chica. And on the other hand this season with him has never been that annoying as with Chica. Chica, with her deep voice, standing in balcony for hours meow to all the cats in the street that came running to make an orchestra with her. We had to lock her in the bedroom at night to not wake up all the house.With Pumuckl it is different: His tiny unusual Meow sure w

Cats in Kitchen or Cooking with Chica
2008-03-14 08:32:00
Our cats use to follow me everywhere. Especially when I am in the kitchen and doing some cooking, Chica has to be with me. Not only to get some bonus food but also to watch what I am doing. Her place then is up the kitchen drawers on an old Pizza Hut box. From there she can follow every step I am doing.Today I was preparing potatoes salad and this reminded me of a funny story with Chica, me and the kitchen:I was cooking mashed potatoes, liver and roasted onions. Obviously I needed a lot of onions for that. I hate cutting onions as like almost every human being on this earth I have to cry when cutting onions. Between cutting suddenly I heard a sneezing. From up. From the Pizza Hut box. Chica was sitting there and sneezing and crying. But she didn't want to leave also. She sits there to watc

What about Chica?
2008-03-13 15:27:00
As you might have felt already I am always just talking about Pumuckl. What about Chica ?Chica is my baby. She is sooooooo cute.She loves Felix although she never likes any cat snacks, whatever it is Whiskas or no-name.Chica always sleeps in my feet in night because my boyfriend turns around too many times so she gets disturbed.Chica is the Mama, not that playful, but sometimes very childish. Then she is running around behind a fly or playing with Pumuckl.Chica is quite and rarely complains.She likes to sit at the computer of my boyfriend and doesn't understand that she is always turning it off when sitting there.Chica loves the sun and enjoys a nap at the balcony in summer.Chica doesn't like to be caught and hugged when I want to hug her but she comes on her own when she needs some hugs.Sh


Pumuckl & Sweets or Cats & Chocolate
2008-03-12 06:05:00
I love chocolate. I used to be the only one in our home having this passion. Until Pumuckl was old enough to eat real food! As he is somehow adopting all of our behaviors and likes, he also adopted my passion for chocolate.However he is sleeping in another room and no one has seen him for hours, he hears it: He hears when I just unwrap my favorite chocolate. And he comes. Running. NaNaNaNauuu. And jumps next to me to get his portion. Well, it's not always easy for me to share my loved chocolate. But what can I do?Pumuckl loves all sweets! Even I take a joghurt from the fridge... He knows already the sound when opening a joghurt, so he comes jumping. So when eating a joghurt you can be sure you can just eat three quarters of it! The rest he wants to be fed with. With a spoon of course!But i

How Pumuckl is talking to us
2008-03-10 07:37:00
Well, actually I wanted to tell you today about Pumuckl's voice. The funny thing in it is not talking about it but listening to it. So after explaining him he could become an online superstar if he would just let me record his voice... he didn't care! I was running behind him, going back and forward, but actually he didn't want to talk. He has star allures already!If you know the original "Pumuckl", the one from TV, then you know his voice. This unforgettable funny voice. Imagine this voice transferred to a cats voice, then you know how our Pumuckl makes Meow. The funny thing in it is that he wants to use his Meow as we, my boyfriend and me, are using our voice. Let's tell you about one of his funny behaviors:It's nighttime. My boyfriend and me are going to bed. Chica is joining us just 1


Why Chica & Pumuckl are the maybe most funniest cats in the world?
2008-03-09 09:57:00
Before we start: We all live in Egypt. Chica and Pumuckl are pure Egyptian cats. My boyfriend is also pure Egyptian. I am German. Pure.Chica is now around 2 years old. As the name says, she is a girl. Pumuckl is her daughter but somehow she doesn't want to be a girl. She is a he. She acts like a he, looks like a he. She is a he. So let's call her "he". Also better for me as he was always a he. Since his birth, and we didn't know at this time how he will be when he is growing up. But we called him Pumuckl. For all guys outside who don't know what the hell is a Pumuckl, here you go: www.pumuckl.dePumuckl was born in our home. A home delivery, haha. When we rescued Chica from the street to give her shelter, we didn't know she was pregnant. But well, how clever she is. We always say, she wante

Pumuckl - The Cat Burglar
2008-03-18 09:02:00
Today I had to look up something in my friend LEO, the online German-English dictionary. Yes, I admit, I also don't know every English word!I was looking up "Klettermaxe" and the English meaning for it, which is "Cat Burglar ", got me really laugh. This really fits! And it reminded me of Pumuckl's climbing tours through our apartment:Pumuckl likes to discover everything. He needs to put his nose everywhere, has to try to eat everything that crosses his way and he has to jump all he can reach. And everything he cannot reach he will try to reach until he reached it. Like the wall system in our living room...This wall system is not beautiful, but functional. It's about 2 m high, (Ups, when my boyfriend reads this he will punish me. I don't have this thing called visual judgment, but definitely


Pumuckl is watching us... anytime, anywhere: Part II (Bedroom)
2008-03-21 09:41:00
This is part two out of the two-blog-post-series:Cats watching you. Starring Pumuckl and his adoptive parents.As mentioned already several times: Pumuckl wants to share our lifes. In every aspect. Everywhere. Also - or especially - in the bedroom.There are times when my boyfriend and I spend time with each other only. There are times we get near to each other and do, what girlfriend and boyfriend are doing when they love each other...Well, these times are monitored and captured by Pumuckl very well. We didn't realize this the first times it happened. Of course, we had other things to do. And he is a very good observer. Usually being noisy and active all the time, he is sitting silent and stock-still at these times. But once I caught him. And I observed him too - from the corner of my eye.

Pumuckl is watching us... anytime, anywhere: Part I (Bathroom)
2008-03-20 06:09:00
This is part one out of the two-blog-post-series:Cats watching you. Starring Pumuckl and his adoptive parents.It is not that easy to talk about these facets of Pumuckl's character and behavior as it is a bit more intimate. But as it is soooooo funny and this is my post number 13, yalla, here we go:Pumuckl loves to share our lives. In all areas. Also in the bathroom. He really insists to join us when we are taking shower or have to go to the toilet. Whatever we close the door, a yelling NaNaNaNauuu in front of it lets us open it again just for the sake of ongoing harmony. While taking shower he is then sitting on the closed toilet lit watching us. After 5 minutes he is jumping down to the floor to keep an eye also on the drain as it previously has been been clogged and the whole living room


Top 10 of Chica & Pumuckl's Favorite Cat Toys
2008-03-23 06:27:00
As mentioned before: We don't have cat toys in our home. However, Chica and Pumuckl don't need these as they have their own favorites. Here the Top 10 of Chica & Pumuckl's favorite toys:A plastic orange. A real facsimile.They love to play football, sorry "pawball", with it. Somehow it disappeared recently.Chocolate wrapping or other paper which we are screwing up to get the shape of a small ball.Ribbon.I could bother them for hours to play with ribbon. I have to admit, I am getting tired faster than them.Their own stuffed animals: Bear and pig.These stuffed toys have been presents for me once. Until they disappeared and I finally found them with the cats. Unfortunately after this the small pig has not been seen again.Mosquitoes and FliesChica and Pumuckl love to run behind them and to

Pumuckl is an Alien or the FAVN Test
2008-03-22 10:25:00
Some weeks ago we have visited our vet to begin the procedure for all necessary checks so Chica & Pumuckl can travel out of Egypt with us one day. Both got their microchips and then each of them had to give a blood sample for the FAVN (fluorescent antibody virus neutralisation) Test.The vet started with Pumuckl. Small cat, so should not be a problem. But Pumuckl didn't like the idea to give away anything from his body, not even a bit of his blood. The vet tried himself, then I had to assist, then my boyfriend had to assist... No way. After one hour of hard work finally we got some. Not much, but at least the minimum. With Chica the whole thing has been a lot easier. She was willing to give her blood for the good things.Well, after some days we received the results. Unfortunately Chica

Inner peace through cats
2008-03-26 06:01:00
I love our cats for what they give me. Especially the inner peace which I didn't feel before letting them in our hearts and home. I would say they have also partly changed my character. From a busy bee that was always running around and not knowing an end, from the first candidate for an anger management meeting, I now love just to sit beside them, to cuddle, to just to look at them.When I am coming home from office, angry, pissed of, nervous, they are there. I am following them to the bedroom, they saved it well, and we all just lay on the bed. In just about a few minutes I get relaxed, stroking her soft hair, hearing her breath, enjoying their companionship. Within a few minutes both of them are napping and I am following soon. Just a quick nap, 15 minutes, but after I am back, relaxed,


No bread in Egypt or Stealing Cats
2008-03-25 06:50:00
Since a few days there is a serious issue about bread in Egypt . Due to a shortage of subsidized bread already 7 people waiting in the queue died. The bread price has risen from 1LE for 20 pieces to unbelievable 1LE per piece. More news about the Egyptian bread crisis.Chica doesn't care about increased bread prices. She discovered the expensive goods on top of our fridge. And as if Whiskas is not enough she enjoyed the bread instead.

Cats in Spring or A Hairy Situation
2008-03-24 08:25:00
Egypt is preparing for summer. Since a few days weather has changed and spring started. Sun is shining all day long again and inside our home we have already 29 degree. I love the spring in Egypt. It is not about prospering flowers and singing birds, all this we don't have here. It's more the sun which is bringing back the happiness, the fresh sea breeze which has its only scent and all those people who like to go out in night again as the earth cooled down from the day heat.Pumuckl and Chica love this weather. Finally they can enjoy the lunch nap in the balcony again, getting warmed up by the sun. It could all be wonderful, if our cats wouldn't lose their winter coat.The laptop is full of hairs, the sofa, the camera too and me, my face, my fingers, my clothes... wow... I begin to be a cat

Cats' Sleeping Time
2008-03-28 07:16:00
Usually Pumuckl and Chica join us sleeping in our big and comfortable bed on top of our feet. But sometimes they prefer their own bed, imported from IKEA Germany. Actually this is Chica's bed. Pumuckl is not allowed to sleep in it or to join her in any way. Yesterday she made an exception.We took this chance to make a small photo session:

History Flashback: The Birth of a Kitten
2008-03-27 07:11:00
...or "Hurra, Hurra, der Pumuckl ist da!"I have never had a cat before Chica came to live with us. I have never thought even about cats. I have never read anything about them. I used to have rabbits since I was a child. But cats...Before I allowed her to stay with us I sent my boyfriend with the cat to a vet. To check for any illnesses and possible pregnancy. She was coming from the street, so who knows. When they came back everything was fine. The cat was clean and not pregnant, the vet said. After several weeks I was wondering why Chica needed so much cuddling and why her nipples have grown. I have googled the signs for pregnancy in cats and I found this. We didn't know what to do. We adopted one cat and soon we would have 5 or 6 more? We thought about abortion, actually we thought about

Easy like Sunday Morning or A bit of a Yawn
2008-03-30 05:31:00
Chica & Pumuckl are very, very active cats. Maybe that's why until now Pumuckl who is enjoying chocolate, yogurt and other goodies and Chica who loves the German kitty sausages didn't get fat. But sometimes also funny cats are just bored and want to sleep:Pumuckl still needs some training on how to yawn right!Chica got the yawn knack!And this is how Pumuckl looks when he finally fall asleep. Of course he can sleep nowhere else than in our comfy bed. And of course he cannot sleep without his bear!

Pumuckl's favorite hideaways
2008-03-29 08:12:00
Pumuckl likes to play hide & seek. Especially when we hear him but cannot determine from where the noise is coming.This is Pumuckl's Top 3 of favorite hideouts:The wardrobe.This is the place where he was born. This is the place where I currently store my expensive leather boots. And these he likes to scratch and to destroy. But moreover this wardrobe has a lot of other things to play with... Shirts, trousers, skirts, jackets... Fantastic! I have now emptied the first shelve just for Pumuckl and have put a blanket inside.The kitchen cabinet.The kitchen is full of food. Especially in the cabinets Pumuckl can find a lot of interesting things. Also nobody can catch him once entered. And he takes the chance whenever the cabinet is open. Within seconds he disappears and you can just hear him

Chica & Pumuckl on Tour through Egypt: The Pyramids of Giza
2008-04-01 07:28:00
... Chica is teaching Pumuckl Egypt ian historyPumuckl now reached the age where he should really learn something. As Chica and Pumuckl are Egyptian cats it's necessary to learn something about Egypt's culture. From now on every Tuesday Chica and Pumuckl will be on tour through Egypt.Let's start with the probably most famous sight of Egypt: The Pyramids of Giza.Chica: "Pumuckl, today we will fly to Cairo to visit the Pyramids which our ancestors have built thousand of years ago. The Pyramids of Egypt are among the largest structures ever built and constitute one of the most potent and enduring symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization. Most were built during the Old and Middle Kingdom periods, more than 4000 years ago. Are you ready, Pumuckl?"Pumuckl: "Sure, I am so excited to go on a trip w


You meow, I follow
2008-03-31 05:28:00
Actually Chica is a very characteristic cat. She can be a real diva sometimes and she is snobbish too. She is not a cat that would be pleased to get dressed. She enjoys herself most of the time and gets annoyed quickly. Annoyed from Pumuckl who wants to play or just to stay beside her, annoyed from me stroking her, annoyed from anyone around her.Considering this I have to take the chance whenever she is coming to me by herself. She meows, I follow. If she meows into my ear at 5pm and wants some cuddling, I will follow. If she meows and wants stroking, interrupting my work, I will follow.She was sleeping on my belly (instead of her usual position in my feet) tonight. I couldn't move and now my neck is hurting. But I don't care.


Isn't a almost 1 year old kitten too old for nursing?
2008-04-04 06:05:00
I told you before: Pumuckl doesn't want to grow up. This is not only showing in his size, but also in the fact, that he still from time to time enjoys nursing. Sure not for the purpose of nursing. Pumuckl is almost 1 year old now, so I don't think he is successfully fed. But sometimes I catch him when he is sucking on Chica. He is quite noisy in this, I can tell you.Before I was reading that by the age of 3 months the kitten is weaned and the mother cat will punish the kitten if it still tries to suck... Chica doesn't complain. She seems to truly love her kitten Pumuckl so she allows him to do anything. And he gets spoiled. Not only by us. While most cats grow out of this, Pumuckl still finds the suckling behavior comforting.Well, I couldn't catch a photo of this fascinating mother love, s
