Many of my colleagues are real animal lovers. For example, every year Kim celebrates the birthday of her two dachshunds (with party hats!), The Instagram account of Jolien is full of pictures of her red male and Jill’s Chihuahua’s Chihuahua is fun in bed.

I also love my two cats myself, but I still think that I do some indifferent about them compared to these colleagues. Because it’s my birthday on October 3, I often forget that it is animal day the next day.

But now that this number is at the newspaper exactly on October 4, I assume I think about it this year. Because it has become a fun animal number. Freelancer Esmir tried to live vegan for a week, we interviewed ‘Housewife’ Petrouschka about the exotic animals in her back garden and three readers tell them that they see their pet as their child.

I’ll spoil my cats extra tonight. Although I fear for them that they are not allowed to sleep in my bed. Not on animal day too.
