Cats accompanied Doris Meissner since her childhood. The cats, her dear friends, were the trigger that awakened her desire to have her own cat in the house again after more than thirty years of abstinence. The author grew up in the 1960s on a farm in Hohenlohe with a variety of animals. From her earliest childhood, she was fascinated by the furry creatures, spending much time following their tracks. In her family, she always knew first where the beloved kitty had hidden her kittens. For this reason, Doris Meissner was also called "cat mother" by her mother. She spent hours and days observing the cats. As a result, she was able to imitate the mother cat's call for her kittens so convincingly that the young kittens would crawl out of their hiding place after just a few minutes. Yes, the cats had such great trust in her.
