Host to Mohrchen, Julius and Peter. Hallo, Bettina! I am owned by three cats: Chloe and Tyrone, brother and sister who were born in our shed 2 years ago and Puakea Makana (Pua) who showed up at my door 1 year ago, sick, skinny and really just gross. I nursed Pua back to health. They all have such different personalities and they make my house a home. I couldn't do without any of them. Pix posted at: http://tinyurl.com/lxjpq kili |

Please be understanding, as my english sometimes might be way off.g Hallo, Bettina Welcome to the group. I live in England and have two cats. Kitty Farmcat aged around 20 and Boyfriend who is about 4. My dearest friend is German, she lives in Lower Saxony - between Luechow and Dannenberg, also a rural agricultural area with no work. I met her on a poultry internet group. She's been to visit me several times and I've been to visit her. We correspond by e-mail all the time. It's nice to see another German on the group, we have Inge too. It's an English-language-orientated group so it's not always easy for others to join in. A lot of the posters are American. Some Brits, some Australians, some New Zealand, Finnish. Swedish. It's a nice group, you will be happy here. Tweed |

Guten tag und wilkommen, Bettina. Oh, Dankeschön Melissa. A nice old farmhouse sounds like the ideal atmosphere for your cats, as you appear to have quite a family of them. I thought so too, when I bought that house, which is located at the edge of a really tiny village (appr. 230 people there), but then found out, that every road, even small countryside roads can be used for racing. And that everywhere are 18-to 60 year old idiots who are not willing to drive the allowed tempo. So I lost in 7 years almost every year a cat. And if it wasn`t one of mine, it was one of my neighbours which I love too. So I am planning to move the next years. And my next house will be far away from every road. For sure. Oh, and so far, I think your English is very good, but we're a friendly lot, so don't worry about occasional confusion. =o) Thank you, and I am looking forward to the occasional confusions as the people here really are a friendly lot. Might be funny. All the best to you and Francesca and Nina. bfn Bettina |

Hi Dan,
thanks for explaining your clowder (have still to look that one up, must mean "gang", "pack" or so). What a sweet gang. What about Harri`s trucking trip with you? I imagine him sitting next to you throughout the US. Was he allowed to take the seat? Or had he to stay in the cat`s basket? Some day I will tell the story of our relocation in germany. I had 6 cats in my car, without cat baskets. It was a tour of 13 hours on german highways - where the crazy wannabe-racers are loose.g What`s the difference between a red tabby and an orange tabby? bfn Bettina |

(have still to look that one up, must mean "gang", "pack" or so). Exactly. A clowder is just a collection of cats. What about Harri`s trucking trip with you? I imagine him sitting next to you throughout the US. Was he allowed to take the seat? Or had he to stay in the cat`s basket? Harri got to ride just about anywhere she wanted to (BTW, Harri is short for Harriet. Confusing, I know). She rode a lot on the dashboard, sometimes on the passenger seat, and often in the overhead cabinet in the cab. What`s the difference between a red tabby and an orange tabby? None. I just sometimes get careless and switch terms. Dan |

Hi Matthew,
A Hemmingway cat is a knick name for cats with 6 toes on one or more of their feet. Hey that`s really new to me. Never heard of cats with 6 toes. Just read bit on the Internet about them. And he protected his cats by (or through?) his will. Good man. You got that backwards Bettina THEY OWN US ;-) (Psst-I know, but as a freedom loving aquarius I would never ever admit it.) |

Welcome to the group. It's good to see another poster from Europe. :-) You may find it usefull to look at the FAQ. http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/catfaq.htm Specifically 6.3 JARGON Hi Adrian, "GOD", I thought, they send me to read the FFAQ, especially the Jargon-section.I`ve been warned, reading for years that the usegroup-people are somewhat peculiar and strict and like to flame and fuss about things.g But, wanting to be a part of it I, who never read Faq`s about Netiquette because I am online since 1994, first Compuserve then Internet, I know Netiquette - I went like a good child to read the FAQ.bg Being a very good child I started with the beginning, not hopping to 6.3 Jargon. And what I found, I have to say, drove me to tears. Expecting the worst (i.e. regulations to the max; exact "how to`s" and stuff like that), I found the best - unbelievable. People who actually behave like friends. And who loosen up all the regulations which make the usenet sometimes so itchy. People who understand how to create a warm community. And, of course I laughed a lot in 6.3, which might have been the original intention of you. Thanks Adrian for sending me to that FAQ. I would suggest to make it downloadable as a zip. bfn |
