Hallo!<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vor ein paar Tagen,\u00a0sah ich diese\u00a0Geschichte an den Nachrichten<\/strong><\/em><\/span> (news) ; I loved it! <\/strong><\/em>Ich\u00a0finde dass<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0this story<\/span>\u00a0eine gute Angelegenheit f\u00fcr Sie ist<\/strong><\/em><\/span> to be exposed to some\u00a0German Wetter<\/span><\/strong><\/em> (weather) terms and more!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what\u00a0J\u00f6rg<\/span> <\/span>Kachelmann, the weather man, had to say about Lupin die Katze<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/span>and how\u00a0it snuck into the studio during his forecast:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0“I don’t know how he got into the studio,” Kachelmann said, adding Lupin belonged to a weather studio colleague who was out of town. “I noticed him when he rubbed against my leg and thought people might wonder what was happening. I figured it would be easier to control the cat by picking him up. Cats get annoyed if they feel ignored. So I made sure he didn’t feel ignored. I know the English have a saying about raining cats and dogs but unfortunately I couldn’t make that joke in Germany.” (as reported by Telegraph.co.uk)<\/p>\n

*Katze<\/strong><\/em><\/span> is a generic term for cat but, depending\u00a0on the gender of\u00a0the cat, you might say: Die Katze<\/span><\/strong><\/em> (feminin), or der Kater<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\u00a0(masculin). Kater<\/strong><\/em><\/span> is also slang for hangover.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0I transcribed most of the events chronologically; this should help you follow along once you’re ready to watch the clip:<\/p>\n
