Back to Croatia

My humans are stupid. They took me to places before by car, but this time they just didn ’t stop driving. I mean, 13 hours?? It became clear they were lost. The first real pitstop was in… Germany!

After 2 long days we ended up in Croatia. Luckilly I had some connections over there.

I arranged food and shelter for the humans. A nice appartment.

And lot ’s of food for me.

I decided to keep the humans in Croatia for a while, because it was really fun to meet with my friends again.

We did lots of trips, me and my buddy Harski.

But it ’s tiring to travel with humans. From time to time, we took off their lead to do some free running. Real highpoints of the trip!

I really love my sister.

But it had consequences… don ’t ask.

The endlessness of the sea always make me philosophic. Like... how many fish are there in the universe?

Well it were a nice two weeks and one thing ’s for sure: I’ll be back!

One month later

Hi. This is David from Belgium again. I am here now for a month and it feels like a holiday. I have a deal with the humans: they serve my food and I eat it. It works fine by now. First I had to learn them which chicken I like most, but we ‘ve got that all worked out.

The humans are quick learners. I teached them a trick, the coocky-trick. It works likes this: I give them the ‘give coocky commando’ by sitting on my behind. And then they give me the coocky. Took them just a few hours. I ‘m thinking about other commando ’s to give coockies too. But that ’s for next days.

Two things I discovered: I like mint. I like walking.

Guust en Irene my to roomies are really impressed by my sprinting–moves. Irene is a rather lazy lady, execpt when the humans want to play with their ball. Then we both are a team trying to catch the ball. We are much faster than the humans, but we give them some credit … they have to learn, so sometimes we just sit and let the ball pass, so they can also play a little bit. And after the playing... even we need a break.

Guust, the big red cat, pretends he doesn ’t like me when he comes inside. But when I go take a walk with a human (Don ’t worry: I keep them on a lead) Guust always walk with us.

In the backyard there are chickens. They look really fresh. Unfortunatly the stupid coward beasts have put a fence around theirselves.

To do list: get new toys in store, they die fast, especially the birdlike ones. (ps: don ’t forget to take a human with me to bribe store-human)

Waiting in the sun on top of the old used catpole for a brandnew Hicat. It could take a couple of weeks, but it ’s coming!

Preparing my holiday to Croatia. Mum, here I come!

Journey through Europe

Hi. Sorry for my bad English, but I speak native maw's, second language is Croatian, and now I have to learn Flemmish too. 15th of april 2010 I started on a journey with two odd creatures (beleive they 're called 'human'). They promised me it would only take a few hours in a little (but comfy) travelbag in a big flying iron bird.

They lied.

And than the excuses came. 'Oh, it was a volcano! The plane couldn 't fly because of the ashes.'

So poor me, I had to wait all day in the airport filled with odd, noisy people. Luckilly the new mom and dad petted me all day.

But than the bad news: no planes were leaving any more! We had to go to an hotel! And you 'll never guess... I had to share my room with them!!! :-(

After all, it wasn 't that bad. I discoverd they like to play, so I entertained them. At night, they didn 't snore.

I did.

Next day, all planeflights were also canceled, so we took a train. First class to Milano because second class tickets were all sold out. I met two businessmen in the 4-person-coupé. Trainpeople served me water. And again... the new mom and dad petted me aaaaaaaall the way.

Milane wasn 't my cup of tea. I had to wait very long. Mom took care of me,

while dad was trying to fix some traintickets to Paris. But hundreds of people wanted those tickets, and when dad was halfway the waitingrow (after two hours ) he heared that all tickets for the next two days where allready sold out :-( But than destiny interfered. Twe very nice English people passed by. They had some spare tickets. And we even could stay in their hotel. Again, chared room, but that 's ok. The humans ate pizza with nice, big prawns.

I like prawns :-)

Next morning we left for a new international adventure. The train took us to Geneve, Swiss. There we had to wait for four hours, so mom and dad took me to an hotel where we all could play, eat, drink and pooh in a little bathroom. (Mom and dad didn 't do the pooh-thing, my toilet was too small)

In the station we encountered some very funny Japanese people with very big photocamera's. Suddenly all the big black glassy eyes were pointed at me. Click click click. They liked my spots, they said. Thank you, I like them too.

Than the train to Paris. Sometimes they call me sleepyhead. Maybe because I slept all the way.

In Paris the dad and brother of the new mom picked us up for a ride to Brussels. I didn 't like that. Cars are noisy. And I like Paris.

But after a couple of hours, I entered my new home. It became clear very soon, that it was also the home of the two humans. And... of a nice little cat named Irene with lot 's of hair. And an odd orange cat called Guust. But he just comes to visit us now and than.

I inspected all the toys. For now, they are ok. The humans are also ok. And I especially like Irene, because she 's nice and warm to sleep with.

Keep you posted,

David

David has moved out

David has chosen his new parents...3 kittens have moved out in 3 days, we need some time to get used to the silence in the house and to do out little grieving, so I will write more about David later on...
It is not just humans who are grieving, Lovely is looking for him still. Adults are happy, Ulla is finally getting the attention she needs and Harski is again in the spotlights.

At this time I would love to say he has found the gentlest hands and the warmest heart I could imagine, just what he needed.

Thank you Marlies for letting this boy with a heart of gold and little stupid face win your heart. And thank you and Koen for doing this trip into the unknown which has turned out to be a little adventure.

Looking forward to reading you :)
