...one came after the other until we finally got 6 young (and additionally two adults) by 3 a.m. After 30 days our place had slowly but continuously turned into a cat playground and on an ordinary day you could see e.g. three cats climbing up the sacred National Geographic Magazine collection while one was trying to catch Roger Federers passing shots on TV, another was using its razor sharp claws to climb up your naked leg, while the last one was constantly trying to bite off your toes. Thus, wearing jeans and shoes at home became the golden rule!

As it happens: Micronaut supporters follow the TV interview on-site. From left to right: my father Bruno and my mother Margrit (both guilty for my addiction to images), my girlfriend Sarina, to which I cannot possibly express the depth of my gratitude, our faithful friend Rebecca, my cousin Sina and her boyfriend Andreas enjoy the event.
