Week in review: 27 November – 3 December 2017

I hope you have had a pleasant first Advent! This week had its ups and downs, but overall it ends well. It also started well – on Monday I took Canavar to school with me. Since the exterminator came to our apartment and I didn’t know where else to put the cat, I just took him in his carrier bag to school. He didn’t like that in the beginning and meowed already all the way in the car. But then I asked the class I had first in the morning if they had any allergies or objections against Canavar in the room. They didn’t. So I got him and we even let him walk around the room. It was fun to watch him explore everything. Obviously, he was quite excited, but not stressed out. He stopped meowing soon. Canavar actually behaved so well that I also presented him to another class later on that day (or was it the other way round?). It was also fun to watch my students watch the cat. I could immediately see who is used to pets and who isn’t. Nevertheless, all kids were fascinated, even the dog lovers. Like: “Woah, look at his muscles! He makes a standing jump onto the table without any problems.”

I believe that Canavar loved attracting all the attention, even if he didn’t allow many people to touch him. Because normally he avoids his carrier bag like the pest once we are home from a trip. But this week he lay in it and looked at me every morning when I left for work. I honestly wonder if he would like to accompany me more often.

As for the mice: I think there might still be some left. The exterminator only set up more traps. But on Friday the superintendant came to seal several holes. On the same day I bought an electronic pest control that is supposed to keep the mice away by sending out electromagnetic signals. Canavar is still excited to be in the kitchen, but I hope that the remaining mice will leave soon – I don’t really care how.

  1. Wow, I couldn’t take my cat to school, office or wherever. I would certainly die of a heart attack or something. Well done, little fellow.

  2. Hallo Jana!
    Einen tollen Rückblick den du da hast. Ist wirklich sehr interessant das zu verfolgen. Es wäre auch für einen selbst immer wieder interessant einen kleinen Rückblick zu machen was alles so passiert ist in letzter Zeit.
    Man denkt irgendwie immer es wäre kaum was gewesen, aber wenn man mal nachdenkt erkennt man erst was eigentlich alles war 🙂
    Machs gut, LG Patrick

    1. Deswegen schreibe ich, wenn ich es schaffe, jede Woche einen Rückblick. Die kleinen Geschichten, die passieren, sind ja oft die schönsten Erinnerungen.

  3. It’s the beginning to look a lot like Christmas… immer in dieser Woche, alle Jahre wieder. Danke für Deinen Wochenrückblick.

    LG, Bea.

  4. Hey,

    ein schöner und interessanter Rückblick, auch wenn ich im englischen nicht 100% alles verstehe 🙂

    Tolle Fotos!

  5. Sehr süße Katze. Ich lese ja immer wieder gerne was andere Menschen in ihrer Woche so treiben. Herzlichen Glückwunsch dass ihr an der Harvard Model United Nations Conference im nächsten Jahr teilnehmen könnt, es scheint Euch ja sehr wichtig zu sein.

  6. Danke für diesen tollen Wochenrückblick. 🙂 Deine Bilder fand ich zudem absolut toll.

    Liebste Grüße,
    Sandra.
