You’re welcome. That’s a GPS tracker. This way I can monitor her easily even when she’s out of sight.

Why though even bother? This is just a small hop for her plus the grille isn’t even as wide as the door. She simply prefers to hop instead.

There really is no need as she could simply walk around it without any inconvenience (the grille isn’t as wide as the doors). She just prefers hop over it.

Good point. I’ll take care not to let her out when the mower is running.

She is keeping her distance and both me and my neighbour are watching closely.

Nah she’s a maine coon mixed breed, that’s her normal fur. She is cautiously brave. Maybe because she has been watching it through the terrace doors so she knows it doesn’t do any sudden movements

Which is the reason why so many old people do bike tours here, sometimes in groups > 50 (people as well as age). Which is fun as the bike infrastructure is often outdated.

Miez also accepts a harness. However it is difficult to walk with her if it isn’t on a narrow path she can follow. Also it gets tricky when there is a dog.

Ja, Miez ist eine ganz Schöne. Äußerlich wie innerlich.

Yeah Miez is really sensible to changes in my daily schedule. I mean she can cope with me not being there when I can’t work from home, but she really doesn’t like when I’m home and disturb her routines by packing and moving furniture. I make room for her as much as possible like keeping the cat tree on the balcony up. This helps her a lot as she can lie there and watch me through the closed door (there are two others) so she doesn’t hear the noise. I make a point in taking my time for her in the evening and only watch TV with headphones so it’s quiet for her.

Ertappt. Yeah my first volcano met its end after 10 years so I just got a new one.

There’s a reason why I explicitly warned my buddy of Koda’s temper before he decided to take Koda in. He just recently confirmed - once again - how right I was warning him.

Thanks for your feedback. I make a point to sound native/genuine in both languages, which is why I first write in english and then in German. I don’t want to do word by word translations but rather train my english skills plus give people the opportunity to see how the meaning of a sentence would best translate.

My first though was sunken cost phallacy, but then again maybe it’s in the nature of authority-obiding jobs to attract people who, well, would love to live in an authoritarian regime. Life is simple and structured this way.

pretty high

ba dumm tss.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope she’ll be as happy in her new garden when I move even if it is smaller. It’ll definitely be a better apartment for her as I’m moving into my hometown (small city of 13k people), as she’ll have by far more visitors then currently.

You’re completely leaving out why they are doing this and that the €XU are the ones trying to fish votes from far right by doing exactly the same thing: Taking the far right talking points as their own and making a policy trying to “fix” those issues. So then SPD is trying to fish votes from right next to them and become more rightwing themselves. Etc. In the end there is no real left wing party anymore, just dumb Putin worshippers and guess who wins? Still the far right, and everybody is like: How could this have been prevented? My point being: All the established parties play the same game not realizing that if you play by the far rights rules you cannot win at all. It’s not at all unique to the current government.

Why does this post not show any picture? And why has it been upvoted?

Oh yeah it’s even her preference. When she lays besides me she lays down exactly the way that my hand is on her belly

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.
