Usually my mom’s tripawed cat Franka keeps to herself and hides under the blanket on my mom’s bed. When she wants some attention she switches to the couch.
Zwei Katzen und ein Platz an der Sonne Franka, die dreibeinige Katze meiner Mutter, lebt normalerweise sehr zurückgezogen indem sie sich unter der Bettdecke versteckt. Wenn sie Aufmerksamkeit braucht wechselt sie auf die Couch.
In the sun she even tolerates some vincity to my cat Miez.
In der Sonne lässt sie sogar zu dass Miez ihr etwas näher kommt.
However when Miez saw a butterfly (zoom in) and rushed to the terrace door right next to Franka that was a little too close for her comfort so she jumped up and hissed at Miez.
Als Miez jedoch einen Schmetterling (reinzoomen!) sah und an nahe Franka vorbei zur Terassentür rannte wurde es Franka zu eng. Sie sprang auf und fauchte Miez an.
Miez and the butterfly
Miez und der Schmetterling
Miez didn’t care though and happily took advantage of the free space in the beam of sunlight.
Miez war das egal und erfreute sich an dem freien Sonnenplatz.
Franka hopped back to the couch.
Franka hoppelte zurück aufs Sofa.
I moved the rocking chair so that the both of them can enjoy the sunlight. However Franka did not return.
Ich hab’ den Schaukelstuhl beiseite geschoben um beiden einen Sonnenplatz zu ermöglichen. Franka ging jedoch nicht zurück.
Even though I brush Miez regularly her thick fur gets warm really quick so she abandons the sun for her favourite box.
Obwohl ich Miez regelmäßig bürste wird ihr dickes Fell schnell zu warm und sie zieht sich aus der Sonne zurück in ihren Lieblingskarton.
I love finding pictures of your cat and hearing about her activities. Thanks!!
I need to clear my head from time to time during work to be able to focus again. The cats are a welcomed and welcoming distraction :-)
Your boss might not understand.
It’s okay. Bosses are dumb.
Luckily my boss does encourage us to take care of our health including taking breaks from screen time (those 10 minutes every two hours as proposed by doctors), which are not added to our break time. He also knows I don’t take such breaks often enough which actually causes my stress level to be too high. Smokers do have some advantages regarding this I guess.
I warmed up to Franka in this instalment. Miez is looking well :)
Love how your albums always tell a little story. Keep 'em coming :)
I guess it’s like a little soap opera haha. Reminds me of a reddit user that did continued stories on IIRC r/TalesFromTechSupport a few years back
