About us

We are Indonesian-Dutch couple, married in 2002, resident of Utrecht - The Netherlands, have one spoiled dog named Milo and one "gonna be spoiled" baby Isabelle. This webpage mainly is use to share our story and pictures to our family and friends. But of course we always welcome for new friends. The idea of this webpage is to share our story and pictures to our family and friends.

Since Ira's Dutch language is far from perfect and Dimitri's Indonesian language is even worse, we decided to use English as the main language in this blog, eventhough lately due to the laziness of Ira, Indonesian language seems to take over.

Please feel free to browse around and give us your comment.

I hate cats!!!

Well ok... that sounds a bit harsh... I don't really hate cats... in fact I quite like them... my in-law has one and she always comes to sit on my lap... I just don't like cats that I don't know because I don't know what they has been eating or stepped on. I admit that I'm not the most hygienics person in the world. As you can see from pictures I put on this website, I let Milo to be on our bed. That is what most hygienic person won't do. But at least I knew what Milo eat or where he has been. In the front door I prepared small towel special from Milo and some wet tissue so that I can wipe his paws and his butt after I walked him. That way I know he clean enough.

Back to the cat problem, the old owner of the house that we lived now used to have 3 cats and they also let cats from the neighbours to play on their house/garden. Now that they moved out and we moved in, cats that used to play there still coming over every now and then. I don't really mind it as long as they don't digging stuffs on the garden or doing their "business" in our garden. Ik vind het vies!!!! and of course that's what exactly they do... I can't keep an eye on the cats all the time, what they are doing in our garden etc.... but I want to be able to enjoy our own garden... not worry where to step at or worry what milo steps on. Last summer we bought some chemical stuff to be sprayed on the garden... it gives smells that cat doesn't like. It works only temporary because when the smells gone the cats back. And those stuffs is expensive

Last week I reach my patience limits when I found the cat sleeps on my bed . He came through the windows that I let open for some air. I asked Dimitri but he said we can't do anything. We can't go to the neighbour because they also can't do anything. I don't want them to come to my house, they might hurt Milo... yeah... I know maybe you laugh that I worried that a cat going hurt a dog... usually it's the other way around

Milo is a small dog... those cats are bigger than him. He won't stand a chance to fight one of them, let alone three cats. And it is Milo's character that he is very sweet and always ready to play. He never see cat as enemy, he wants to play with them... he doesn't see the dangerous in it. Many time I caught the cat try to scratched Milo, I'm afraid one day they able to do it and maybe hurt his eye, Milo can be blind.... 2 out of 3, cats always try to scracth ayes when they think they are in dangerous... it's their instinct..

I heard from someone that there are some plants that you can put in your garden that can send cats away... because they don't like the smell.. anyone knows what kind of plants it is? Please let me know... I'm up to my head with those cats...

I have heard that it's a plant to chase cats away but I never enquired the details. Let me ask my girlfriends in Hong Kong and see if they know it. Will inform you the result.

Be honest, as lot of people keep cats here, I don't think you really can keep them away from your home. But can you lock the window in your bedroom so that they will not jump to your bed? # at 29/11/05 16:56

sebel banget.. milo ae selalu tak bersihin dulu kaki dan pantatnya hihi sebelum naik ranjang... eh ini main bobo ae...

@Lillian: locking the window is not the best option especially in the winter. It makes the house "benauwd" i don't know how to translate that in english.. ask thijs hehehe anyway, it makes me getting headache if all windows close while the heater on # at 29/11/05 17:01

Just checked my stupid dictionary!
"Benauwd" means 'short of breath',
By the way,, the cats here are very STRONG!! They still hang out evening snowing!! # at 29/11/05 18:12

Thijs said he never heard any plant can chase cats away but it is another way around that it does have place attracting cats which names 'Cat weed'. The dutch name is something with initial of 'D'. May be Dimitri know it. # at 30/11/05 13:02

P.S. Thijs suggested you to send Milo for military training!! He sounded disgusting right and I already smacked him on behalf of you!! # at 30/11/05 13:04

@Lillian: I found it on the website, there is plant that chase cat away but unfortunately it will also chase dog away... I don't want o chase Milo away from our own garden so I have to look for other altenatief

@ina: hihihi masalahnya itu kucing kalo pas gali gali pas aku nggak liat...tau tau udah ada aja... kalo liat sih bakalan tak semprot air hihihi dimitri udah sebel mo di kasih tegel aja tuh tuin tapi khan kaal banget keliatannya... tuinku panjang... sempit tapi panjang # at 30/11/05 13:19

Thijs suggests you ask your neighbour to plant the cat weed so as to keep their cats inside house. He said if your neighbour rejects it, just throw the seeds in their garden!! # at 30/11/05 15:08

hehehe it's going to make us fight with the neighbour. I don't want too.. the problem is the cats do not want to stay inside the house... FYI, they have 3 daughters, one big dog, chickens, rabbits.... they put tile to half of their garden for the kids to play... so i guess there is not much room for the cat... + for years their cats always playing with cats from previous owner of our house # at 30/11/05 15:55
