German term or phrase: Frauchen
Hallo zum Wochenstart.... hier kommt Deutschland's bestes Wort :-)

Dank der elektronischen Elemente können ******** Frauchen ********** und Pony-Mutter noch realer mit ihren „Haustieren“ interagieren, und so sind dem kreativen Spiel keine Grenzen gesetzt....

(hat jemand Himmel und Huhn gesehen? Man stelle sich das Kölsch der Kuschel-Außerirdischen bei der Aussprache von "Frauchen" vor ;-)))...)

neutral  Jane Luther: what about cat owners? (speaking as one!)

  -> I have a cat too, yet somehow I only think of this as a term for dog owners--probably because it's usually used when someone is out walking their dog.
