My mom’s cat Franka (standard issue cat, born 2008 to a wild feral cat (edit: we have actual wild cats in Europe) in Monte de Vannes, France) spends most of her time under blankets and only likes very little attention. My cat Miez (maine coon mix, born 2013 on a German farm near the French border) is very open and trusting. They sometimes meet when I or my parents are on vacation or as now I’m visiting my parents. For years they feared each other very deeply, but as they got older and met more frequently they got more friendly.

Franka, die Katze meiner Mutter (Europäisch Kurzhaar, 2008 geboren von einer Wildkatze verwilderten Katze in Monte de Vannes, Frankreich) verbringt die meiste Zeit unter einer Decke und mag nur selten Aufmerksamkeit. Meine Katze Miez (Maine Coon Mischling, geboren 2013 auf einem deutschen Bauernhof nahe der französischen Grenze ist sehr offen und zutraulich. Sie treffen sich manchmal wenn meine Eltern oder ich im Urlaub sind oder wie jetzt ich meine Eltern besuche. Über Jahre hinweg hatten sie total Schiss voreinander, aber nun da sie beide älter wurden und sie sich regelmäßiger treffen, wurden sie freundlicher zueinander.

    A bit of nitpicking, it’s not born to a wild cat, but a feral cat.
    We do have actual European wild cats, so it’s a small but important distinction.
    Auch auf Deutsch würde ich eher von einer verwilderten Katze reden, da wir eben richtige Europäische Wildkatzen haben.

      Yeah she used to be an outside cat and just before my parents moved and she would have become an inside cat anyhow, she came home limping after an obvious accident. From her injuies she fell from a tree and tried to hang on by one paw. Unfortunately that leg was hurt so badly they had to amputate it.

    New Miez drop 😍!!! Great story - including a happy ending of Franka and Miez learning to get along - and great video. Thanks for sharing :)

      Yeah just two years ago this very situation would have ended in them both hissing at each other. Thankfully Franka learned that she’s the boss, even when Miez is around. Miez usually loves being the boss (even towards her brother), so she learned a lot as well.

      Side note: You’re quite the Miez fan, aren’t you? I’m glad other people can really enjoy the stories I share.

        You’re quite the Miez fan, aren’t you?

        Guilty as charged 😛. I’ve been missing a dear cat friend who’s no longer with me and my current living situation isn’t very good for getting another cat. So, I’m really enjoying the c/cats, and Miez is definitely one of my favourites. I think she’s gorgeous, you’ve captured some unique and endearing behaviours of hers, you seem like a cat’s dream cat owner, and you post great content. I was really wowed by the purrkour - both what you had done and Miez jumping across those beams at ~10 years old. From what I know, 10 is considered a ‘senior’ cat in the veterinary world, so she seems wonderfully healthy - probably from a great environment :)

      Ist hier echt von Vorteil: Miez frisst Frankas Nierenfutter nicht, und Franka mag das Trockenfutter von Miez nicht.
