minus-squareArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoA stray with a collar? I suspect that is someone’s cat they let roam. I hope so, anyway.
minus-squaregigachad@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoOP is German. The direct translation of stray is Streuner in German. A Streuner is not necessarily a pet without owner here, but can also mean “a pet wandering around alone”. So this is likely lost in translation ;)
minus-squareFooBarrington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoI’ve never heard “Streuner” used for a pet, only for animals without owners.
minus-squaregigachad@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoBut maybe you have heard about herumstreunern? I feel like the border is much more fuzzy than in English.
minus-squaresilly goose meekah@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoI’m with the other person, while I’ve heard herumstreunern, a Streuner is always homeless in my understanding. Might be a regional thing, idk
