Well, I am Linus and now live with Hannaxel. With my former tin openers the smallest suddenly developed an allergy against me, and as a friend was sought for Smokie, I now moved in here. Hannaxel wanted to take a picture of me at once, but I refused and found a comfortable spot under the baithing tub… One know how to soften the tin openers. And tonight I proved why I am also known as Osama Bin Laden. They though they had a terrorist, now they have two… My new buddy first showed me the trick with the vase… this is well worth for getting on their nerves. I am more of a climbing cat, i.e. I already left my traces where Smokie never went before, for example on the kitchen cupboard. I will explain to him during the next nights. And this morning came Lara, well I will have her in my grasp soon as I was grown up with a Golden Retriever. Otherwise my people have to learn that I love dry food best, what they really do not like. Well, with time I will train them… I will see how long the stay firm. You can see me below already, I have the feeling it will be rather stressfree here. Until soon, fans!!!

Since friday our family has grown with the arrival of Linus, a tom cat of nearly two years (being more or less the same age as Smokie). Unfortunately he could not stay in his old family because of a case of cat allergy.

For the time being he has occupied th bathroom, spent nearly 40 hours under the bathing tub (now his other favourite spot is the space behind the washing machine). Smokie again and again eyed him curiously and tried to get him to play, not at all hostile. Slowly Linus starts to explore the apartment, and it sounded as if both had extensive chases across the flat last night. When Linus has had enough, he returns to his safe spots in the bathroom.

Smokie of course still owns the flat. During the weekend again he had a special experience: it was snowing and Smokie was chasing snowflakes on the terrace trying to catch them on the jump.
