11 things about us

What a pleasant surprise ! We had the pleasure to be nominated by the Ephemer Beitrag Blog for the Liebster Award. Thank you very much buddies !

They asked us 11 questions :

When did you begin to blog ? We began in April, 2012.
What was the trigger ? Our angel Loupi thought that he had interesting things to be said.
Do you also write other things, or are you creative in a different way ? Oh no, we would have no more time to nap otherwise ! And our human already has difficulty in following with two or three articles a week ! But she likes to sew while we sleep.
Question not understood
What kind of book is the most frequently in your ownership (hardcover, paperback or epub) ? Claire reads her novels on her Kindle, but for the rest she prefers beautiful books. We too, they have better taste.
What is the target of your blog ? All the people who like cats or who live with a cat. You will find on our blog an overview of our everyday life, advice, and product reviews.
Were there moments in the course of which you wanted to stop writing ? No, but our human often lack of time to do it because she makes one thousand one activities. In our opinion, she does make no sense priorities.
What music does not agree at all on your point of view ? We hate the Weekly Concerto for Vacuum Cleaner and Feather Duster.
What was the most beautiful moment of the life of your blog ? Every time we meet a new friend and every time this relation goes on, it’s a beautiful moment.
What puts you under stress enormously ? The visit at the veterinarian, the empty food bowl, and the vacuum cleaner.
From when are you a successful blogger according to you ? For us, it’s from the moment people come back on our blog and from the moment marks are interested in us to promote their product, for others it will be from the moment they really earn money with their blog.

Here are rules to follow to accept the Liebster Award :

Visit and thank the blogger that nominated me
Acknowledge that blogger on my blog and link back
Answer his 11 questions
Nominate 5 to 11 bloggers, provide a link to their blog and notify them on their blog

We begin not to know any more to whom we have already given a price, and it is difficult to choose among all the blogs which we know. We are thus going to cheat a little with the fourth rule : this award is at your disposal, feel free to take it if you wish !

Knock, knock, it’s the mailman

Today, it’s normally the last but one time when you receive four mails in four different languages if you follow us by e-mail only.

Indeed, after many efforts, we managed to do so that you received our next articles directly in the good language : we created mailing lists by language.

But so that it works, we need your help !

On Monday, you will receive four e-mails again : at the very bottom of each message, there is a link to cancel your subscription.
We ask you to cancel the subscription for languages which you don’t want to receive any more, to keep only the version which interests you : French, German, Italian or English.
If everything goes well, you will receive on Wednesday a single e-mail in your language rather.

For friends who follow us via WordPress, you will continue to see four published articles.

And you, how do you follow our adventures and our articles ?

How to keep in touch with your readers

Nothing pleases us more than to know that somebody is reading our articles. It’s a little bit the purpose of a blog, right ? “Silent” reader or reader-commentator, we appreciate your interest for us a lot.

For those who follow our blog by e-mail, a notification is sent to you at the time of the publication of the article, or rather, a notification SHOULD be sent to you… Indeed, since a few weeks, several of you let us know that they were not any more informed about the publication of our articles. Horror ! What a pity !

Thanks to Phiphi, Frimousse, Cody, Katie and Waffles, and those who we certainly forget, to have indicated us this dysfunction : we looked, verified, asked, and still looked to find the cause of this bug. And we found : it would seem that e-mails sent by WordPress via the module Jetpack are often blocked by antispam filters of various e-mail providers: either you don’t even see them, or they land directly in your Spam file.

We are thus going to try MailChimp for this service ; we hope that everything will be back to normal again. If everything goes well, you should not need to subscribe again to our blog, then cross your paws so that it works !
