  • Today I managed to trick her into letting me give her some scritches. I first used the stick as in the video, then shortener it bit by bit and let her notice it. I finally reacher her while still holding the stick. She must have thought what an amazing new scratching technique the stick had learned and REALLY leaned into it. When she looked up and saw my hand was doing all the scritching she growled and went a few steps back. I then longened the stick again and she came closer and thus I shortened the stick again. This time she didn’t growl. Bit by bit she becomes more trusting.













  • The cool thing about the winding technique I use is that I only have to secure the rope at the very ends with a few screws. The rest will hold up for years upon years as it is 1cm thick sisal where one winding sits tightly on the next. The pole here took me about 90 minutes to wind. It’s totally worth it. It is basically an endless “Mastwurf” or more precisely a Mastwurf with hundreds of “Halbschläge” https://thwiki.org/t=Mastwurf Back when I was still active I was the go-to person for knots in my local THW (federal agency for emergency relief)








  • I feel you. I was really lucky that I could give two of my cats to a friends family when I had to separate them. In between I had to give up all of my cats due to my health issues. It distroyed me, it tore such a big hole in me. Luckily I got to take Miez back after my health improved. I thought she was in good hands, but I was dead wrong. When the elderly woman that took her in had a broken leg (complicated bone fracture, took several months to heal) she starten smoking on the couch right next to Miez, and now Miez is asthmatic.
