Watchcats

Zina: I like sitting in the bedroom, on the chest of drawers that is conveniently located at the window, looking at the neighbours house and garden. Things move out there, which I find fascinating. Daytime there is construction work going on, and men are moving about. I make sure they don't come close.

Zetti: I keep an eye out the window from the guest room. I hide in there, to make sure that Mensch cannot find me when I'm busy watching. But somehow she does anyway, I really don't know how.

Sleep sleep sleep

Favourite pastime

Zina: I like to play, but I really enjoy sleeping. I do it so well that Mensch tells me. This bed is one of my favs, but I can sleep everywhere.

Zetti: That Mensch keeps on coming checking on me and my sister, petting us. I like that. Then I stretch, and curl up again. I like my sleep.

Boxes are fun

Spring on the balcony

Zetti: That Mensch have something called a balcony, a place where I am sometimes allowed to go. Until now, it has not been very interesting, but the last few days there was sunshine and I love lying out there watching all the things happening outside. Also, there is an empty flowerpot on the balcony, which I like to drink water from.

Zina: I am an insect-hunter. I can chase them, catch them, play with them and then eat them. And I hate when they get away by simply disappearing. Sometimes I chase my sister around out there. That is fun.

For anybody who wants to learn more about cats.

Wake-up call

Zina&Zetti: This usually works.

Eating machine

Zina: That Mensch calls me her little "Ess-Machine". I don't understand. Isn't everybody hungry all the time? Here I am fishing the last bit out of the bowl with my paw.

Zetti: I am skinny, but I have very shiny fur and am healthy that Mensch tells me. I mean, who wants to be a thick cat on a diet?

4 eyes

Zina: When I am hungry I go into the kitchen and I miaow. Loudly.

Zetti: Sometimes my sister miaows in the kitchen. Then I join her.

Zina & Zetti: We have learned that the Mensch we live with can resist one of us, but not both. Very effective, when we're hungry.
