Yes, that's true. I only know of one other German, reading rpca, but
being silent mostly, just as I am ;-). I'm sort of a regular in a
german newsgroup but there's not nearly as much postings as there are
here. The number of postings here is overwhelming, and I don't know
how to follow. And, as english is not my mothers language (learned it
at school and from relatives living in GB and USA) I'm a little shy of
writing to native speakers/writers. I always fear I can't make myself
as clear as I like to. My passive skills are much more enhanced than
my active skills are *blush* Therefore, I'm silent most of the time, I
do enjoy most of the postings here, though :-))



I wish some of my students did as well with English as you do. Please,
don't let the second language part stop you, you're fantastic with the
English Language.

old one sigh. At the moment, DH and I are discussing to take another
cat in. She's 14 month old, and was injured. Someone cut her belly
when she was just a tiny cat :-(( She's in good care right now in a
foster home. They can't find her a forever home cause she doesn't want
to be touched, but she loves other cats and bond with them
immediately. But, as I said, DH and I are not sure. 5 cats are a lot
responsability. We had two good catsitters but they're not available
any longer. Once in a while, we'd like to go on a vacation. We're not
going until we find a new catsitter who doesn't cost a fortune.

We tried to adopt Minni but her foster mum wanted to keep her.
Instead, we took a one eyed cat in. He's a hugh orange baby, 2 years
old, and lived in a foster home for month with 11 other cats. It was
overcrowded there so most of the cats showed signs of stress. He moved
in yesterday, still a bit shy but making progress to fit in :-) He
really loves to be cuddled, and I think, he will join in bed with us
in no time :-)

We call him Aodhan, that's galic for Aidan, meaning fire. Here are
the first pics we made today to get an impression how he's looking.

Yes, he is :-) I wish, you could take the Himmi. You have such a
wonderful home, CN. We only have a 4 room apartment with 5 cats, and
it really isn't overcrowded *hint* ;-)

Thanks for welcoming him :-)
Not really a hard name, just pronounce it as Aidan :-) You may want to
have a look at this side:

It's really great when you're fond of galic names.

I hope, you'll find a good home for this poor Himalayan cat. I'd take
her, but I really am too far away.

Purrs, Petra
