My pets

To name a few:
Lütten, my lovely Border Collie
Felix, my charming Norwegian forest cat and his 2 nephews Silky and Speedy

Of course the mother to Silky and Speedy, our tiny little Ronja
Silver, a cat found on the streets with 3 of her siblings (all 3 aren't with us anymore) and her 2 children Blanchette and Mr. Schleck

Cancer :(

Yesterday we had an appointment with the vet, Lütten has problems with her hips. 
Sadly a normal thing for Border Collies.

She got a massage, I had to walk with her the street down and back, the vet controlled the hips again, gave a second massage and was satisfied with Lütten.
Only with a huge BUT

Lütten has cancer, it's encapsulated and as long, as she won't injure herself at the place (at her teats), she will be fine.
Our vet said, because of Lütten's age, she is 11.5 years now, she won't do a surgery. Better to not touch it and create complications and a lot of pain.

We agree with her, better let Lütten run around and be happy as can be, than cut her open, giving her tons of medications, that maybe will kill her faster than the cancer could.
Charly, her father, got killed by the meds against the seizures in the end, I don't wanna do that to her!

Silver

Silver is 12 years old now (2026)
She was found on the streets with her 3 siblings. Silver has a gene, the famous Amber gene, that only some Norwegian forest cats have.
If I had known that earlier, I would have searched for a nice male, for a beautiful litter, but I took her to the vet and she got neutered, before her amber color showed up.

She and her siblings came to us, short time after we bought the farm.

My cats were dying, no reason to find, even the vet was desperate, cause she couldn't find the reason.
Luna had a litter at the time, 2 kitten, one died seconds after birth, the second had an open throat, we had to bring it to the vet :(
She had milk, no kitten, it was gruesome.

I wasn't even searching for kitten, but for furniture on finn dot no, the online marked in Norway.
And the first ad I saw was an emergency call for four kitten found on the street.
One call, we jumped into the car and picked up the kitten.

The woman, who had found them clearly had no clue, the kitten were at least 4 to 5 weeks old and able to eat. 
Luna took over right away.
She was mom for 2 weeks, left the house, like she always did to pee and shit.
Only that she didn't came back :(
A friend found her2 days later, in the little cabin at the river, laying on a pillow, as if she was sleeping.

She was the last cat we lost in  October 2013, much more were going to follow in 2014, again without a cause to find.

2 kitten found a new home, Silver and one sibling stayed with us.
That one was taken by the grim in October 2014 and with her many more cats.

October 2015 came and I watched my cats like a hawk, but luckily, nothing happened. I was very observant October 2015 and again, all was fine.
But there must be something with this farm and the month October.
My heart attack was in October 2024.

Her name Silver

She was the silver line, the shimmering hope, cause when I lost my very first Norwegian forest cat Lilith in 2014 (she was only 13 years old) she was there to help me through the pain.

Felix on the balcony

What do you do, when you have a pretty clumsy cat, can't let him go out, but wanna give him at least a little possibility?
You take, what you have and secure the balcony.
Not beautiful, but effective. This way he can go out, but can't jump on the railing and for sure can't go from there on the roof.

One piece is missing and since I don't wanna buy a complete set, I have to figure out how to close the gap.

But Felix is satisfied, now he can come out with me, if I wanna sit in the sun.

My little bird friends won't be so happy, but there will be still enough time for them to come and get a little snack :)

Chicken

Cleaning the chicken coop is one thing, but to empty it complete isn't something the hens really like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While the other 4 were walking around, my black girl had to inspect the wheelbarrow.
And all rushed in after everything was done and filled with fresh straw and sawdust. Scratching until every piece were, where they wanted to have it.
My chicken are funny :D

Being a cat
