About me:
I’m Enie (25), a student at UZH, and I’m vegetarian, occasionally pescetarian. I share my home with my 17-year-old cat, Merlin. When I’m not studying, I read a lot, do pottery and crochet, and occasionally practice arthropod taxidermy. I also enjoy going for walks and ice bathing in winter. I listen to a lot of music, collect vinyl records, and never miss a flea market. At the moment, I’m teaching myself the ukulele and bass guitar, and I’d also like to learn the harmonica and knitting. You could say that learning new skills is my hobby.

About Merlin:
Merlin (17) is extremely cuddly and doesn't get the concept of personal space (sitting down = cat on your lap, even if he’s known you for only a minute). He loves commenting on everyday life (you can easily have full conversations with him), and despite his age he still needs playtime and has daily zoomies.

About you:
You’re fond of animals, reliable, respectful and between 18 and 35 years old. A stepparent for Merlin (no financial responsibility, just feeding and quality time).

IMPORTANT: Please write a few sentences about yourself (the more, the better) and answer the following questions:
1. What are the three most important things for you when living in a shared flat?
2. What kind of flat share are you looking for?

I’m looking forward to your message – German or English both work :)
Enie and Merlin 🐱
