We received a weather warning for tomorrow: code orange, because of heavy snowfall and strong winds. It means stay in bed and don't go anywhere.

There is no bin collection in our village this week. There is now so much snow the garbage trucks get stuck. I hate that noise so it's good news for me.

Mum opened our catio and asked me if I wanted to play in the snow. Silly question. I prefer to sit on radiator.

We heard there is a super moon tonight. It's too cloudy here but maybe you can see it?

Our Christmas tree is gone.😾

Thank Cat New Years Eve is over. New Year Concert in Vienna is about to start so we are going to relax and nap for world record. Make it a good year everyone.

I admire the Dutch for many reasons, one of which is that they celebrate the New Year with doughnuts. I’ve taken a leaf out of their book, and so Oliebollen, the doughnuts in question, are #RecipeOfTheDay. And Happy New Year! www.nigella.com/recipes/new-...

My dear friends, it’s nearly New Years Eve. I’m not sure if we can post tomorrow so we want to post this today. We wish you all a very nice and safe New Years Eve. And we wish you all the best for the New Year. Cheers to 2026.

Next year we will have a fireworks ban, which means this year people are buying extra. 🙀 They are keeping me awake with their noise night after night!😾Very worried about New Years Eve.

Friends, our mum is looking for recipes / ideas for New Years Eve. In Holland humans always eat Oliebollen. Very nice but they clog your arteries. What do your humans eat/ bake/make that night? (I’ll just have my kibble)

So Christmas is over and now we have to prepare for fireworks season. 🙀

Is all that Christmas nonsense over now?😾I want my usual routine back.

"Twas the night before Christmas,when all through the house, we can hear Casper snoring while I look for a mouse."

It's going to be a cold Christmas. Arctic wind is coming our way. We hope you all stay warm and safe. Special thoughts and love for our Ukranian friends, who are going through so much right now.

Wij wensen iedereen fijne kerstdagen. We wish you all a merry Christmas.

It's a foggy day. Makes birdwatching a bit hard.

Oh dear. Christmas is getting closer so guess who is on the telly..... I'm going up to bed. 😾🎻

Tonight we are going to watch The Nutcracker. The Tsjaikovski ballet thing. So I am sure to feel asleep within 5 minutes. I'll do the Sugar Plum Fairy dance at 3 am. Goodnight friends.

Mum has found the perfect way to stop me from sitting on her keyboard when she has to do a work thingy. She starts singing along to the radio! 🙀 Garanteed to make me run away.

I'm so bored with the Christmas music.😾 How much longer until it's over? My paws are too big for the remote.

Tonight we are going to watch a Norwegian christmas movie, the Snow Sister. Probably no cat in that one either, but still...

Weekend has started! Doing a bit of birdwatching and mouse hunting today. What are you all up to?

Apparently you can see a lot of meteors this weekend. I'll probably be asleep but it will give my insomniac mum something to look at. #LookattheStars #MakeaWish

Goodmorning! 🥱💤

I heard on the radio that a lot of humans are stressed about Christmas. I know the feeling. 🙀 I'd better take an extra nap to gain some energy.

I am getting a bit older so I didn't want to climb to the top. But I did enjoy getting rid of the cloth thingy to sit underneath the tree. 😺

Could it be......a tree?🙀

18 days until Christmas and still no Christmas tree. 🙀 Getting worried now.

We don't think Santa will stop at our house so we told our mum to treat herself to a Christmaspresent. A book or something. With cats in it. Hope it's good. She is saving it till Christmas.

Birdwatching today.

St Nicolas Day in the Netherlands. Have fun fellow Dutchies! Maybe after that we'll get our tree. Fijne Sinterklaas.

So we got our Spotify Wrapped for 2025 and according to that our mum's "listening age" is 71. She is now crying in a corner. We always told her that her taste in music is rubish.

So we are waiting for a Christmas tree. And look what we got. We don't even fit in there.😾

Banket Bars (more properly, banketstaafstukje) are #RecipeOfTheDay and I couldn’t love them more! Banket is the Dutch almond pastry that more usually comes in logs, but I cut them into short lengths before baking, which rather gives them a look of sweet sausage rolls. www.nigella.com/recipes/bank...

Another weekend has gone by and still no Christmas tree. 😾The neighbours have one. I bet their cats are having a great time. 😿

It's Saint Pancake Day and we got a bit of pancake. We saw that other Dutch cats love it. We don't. 😾 😾We just want kibble or wet food.

Mum started working on her printed yearbook again. Hundreds of photos to sort out. 90% of us. We keep telling her not to take anymore but does she listen? Of course not!😾

Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate. I'm thankful for my bed. (mum said it's hers but we all know that's nonsense).

No Christmas tree yet, but mum got us this scratchy thing. Not really what we asked for is it?😾

Are we going upstairs to bed? What are we waiting for?

Is it too early for a Christmas tree? In Dutch tradition it really is too early, but the world is so dark now, we could use some light. And Casper and I need some entertainnent. What do you think?

It's getting colder and colder and mum transformed the house into a blanket paradise. 😺Warm blankets in all shapes and sizes all over the place. Looks hideous but we absolutely love it.

@paddopoes.bsky.social Pippy, are you playing in the snow already? We heard on the news the your part of the world has snow!🙀

Our government launced a campaign to make people more aware to prepare for emergencies. To make sure they have a supply of food and water, torches, candles, a bag for evacuation etc. I might brush up my hunting skills. 🤔A fresh mouse might be very welcome if the time comes.

It's getting a lot colder. So this is a good place to sit. Right above the radiator. Warming my bum.

OMC. Mum decided she needs a new hobby.🎹 🙀 Haven't we suffered enough with her horrible taste in music!😾

Morning! The rain was so loud it kept us awake! Today is the day StNicolas arrives in the country on his steamboat which is a huge deal for kids. Live on telly and also live in many places. People will be soaked🙀. I'll stay in bed. Have a good weekend.

That feeeling when your human goes grocery shopping and buys absolutely nothing for you.😾I checked that bag twice!

Is it too early to go to bed?

Fireworks will be banned in the Netherlands in 2026. So this year is the last year you can buy them and we just heard on the news that the sales are up by 30% already. 🙀 December will be fun. 😾Hiding under the table already.
