release your inner animality

You shower every day?
Your underwear is ironed?
You blush when you say the word penis?
You cut your fingernails?
You get angry about a crumb in your bed?
You comb your hair?
You turn off the lights and close the door before sex?
You floss your teeth?
You use toilet paper?
You eat with a knife and fork?
You only watch porn in secret?
You always smile when you meet someone?
Your spices stand in a row?
You’re ashamed of a loud fart?

– if more than three sentences of these apply to you – then it’s time for you:

RELEASE YOUR INNER ANIMALITY!

katze und krieg will help you! On a walking tour around the block of a neat, clean, nice, decent, tidy neighborhood, katze und krieg invite you to rediscover your animal side in 5-minute exercises. In one exercise, for example, katze und krieg suggest rolling across the sidewalk floor of a commercial street for five minutes, screaming “AHHH!” loudly. Elsewhere, they offer to rattle the fence for five minutes – accompanied by an aggressive “WAAAH!”, and in an accurately planted square, they suggest hitting the water of a fountain with excessive “HUH!” sounds.
