Bye Safran: FIP is a Bitch
[fr]Safran est malade: il a le FIP/PIF et doit être endormi — il n’y rien à faire pour le sauver. [en]I got home from the vet a couple of hours ago. I’d taken Safran because he seemed under the weather … Continue reading
Tounsi perdu et puis retrouvé
[en]The story, with the details, of Tounsi going “missing” for a bit over 24 hours. Short version: he wandered a bit out of his comfort “territory” because he followed me yesterday morning when I left, and was taken in “a … Continue reading
Cat Adoption: c’est parti!
[en]I’m looking to adopt two cats, kittens or adults. Should be near Lausanne so I can meet them first, get along well, go outdoors and be sociable (they will be hanging out at eclau during the day-time, where there are … Continue reading
The Bittersweet Freedom of Catlessness
[fr]Visite féline durant le mois à venir. Je garde Kitty, le chat d’une de mes anciennes cat-sitteuses. Juste retour des choses, et occasion d’une réflexion sur ma vie sans chat/avec chat.[en] I’ve been meaning to write this post for quite … Continue reading
What Made Bagha Such a Special Cat For Me
[fr]Un pas de plus sur le chemin du deuil, alors que je m’apprête à éparpiller les cendres de Bagha dans le jardin où il passait ses journées. Tentative un peu laborieuse d’identifier (et de trier) ce qui dans la douleur … Continue reading

Of Grief and Travel
[fr]Retour d’Inde, et je pleure mon chat comme il y a un mois, après une sorte d’interruption où le deuil a gentiment glisser sous le tapis. M’habituer à son absence alors que je suis ailleurs, dans un contexte complètement étranger, … Continue reading
Bye-Bye Bagha (1996-2010)
[fr]Mon compagnon chéri Bagha est mort hier soir d’un infarctus. Je suis sous le choc — je pensais honnêtement qu’avec sa santé de vieux chat, il allait décliner gentiment et que j’aurais le temps de me préparer. Je sais que … Continue reading
The Neighbour’s Cat Won
[fr]Morsure de chat. Pas mon chat: chat du voisin que j’ai acculé (chez moi, pour le leur ramener) même après qu’il m’ait prévenu à grands coups de griffe qu’il était trop paniqué pour venir tranquillement. Moralité: les chats ont de … Continue reading
Chat perdu? Pas si sûr…
[fr]Poor little lost cat? Not necessarily. Cats can travel upto 2-3km to hunt, and way more for a tom running after females. This cat, who wouldn’t quit following me around, is probably just on a (very) long walk, and runs … Continue reading
