My visit to Seoul’s dog cafe BauHouse was not a real success. I was hoping that a visit to a cat cafe would be a more pleasant experience. So one afternoon I climbed the stairs up to Tom’s Cat cafe. Before entering the cafe, there is a small reception hall where you change your footwear for […]
Pets at iLight Festival 2014
The day we visited the iLight Festival 2014 a pet afternoon was part of the program. As an animal lover this was an added bonus to me. And indeed, I had a ball! I have never seen so many pets on one day in one place in Singapore; cute overload!!! “What?!” “Hey, we are alike! […]
Bau House Dog Cafe in Seoul
It’s no secret that I am a HUGE animal lover. I simply adore cats and dogs! I grew up with dogs, but in my adult life I always had cats, since that is more doable if you tend to travel a lot. My last cat died a couple of months ago and for the first […]
My 15 favorite animals on the web
As most of you know, I am crazy about animals, in particular dogs and cats. So it will not come as a surprise that I loooooove looking at pictures and videos from/with animals on the web. Don’t get me wrong: meeting them ‘for real’ is always the best, of course. But I don’t always have pets […]

R.I.P. my darling cat Guust
My cat Guust died. He was 18 and a half years old! I am sad but at peace with it. Guust in the prime of his life. 19 Years ago I bought a house in Haarlem with a nice garden. The situation and house were perfect to take cats. I wanted two. Two brothers, preferably. […]
Three months in Haarlem, the Netherlands
My three months in Holland are coming to an end soon. Next week I fly to Singapore. A lot happened this May, June and July. No dramatic events, just daily life and casual things. I had a great time. Here’s a photo reportage of the past months: I enjoyed being around my friends: 1.Jo, on […]
Electronic City Bangalore
After our weekend in Mysore it was back to business in Bangalore. As you may recall we were staying there at the Crowne Plaza in Electronic City, where my husband was working. Initially I was a bit disappointed to learn that Bangalore city was over an hour by car away and that there were only […]
