What do you call them in Deutsch? I bet it sounds way scarier than 'silverfish'.

Silberfischchen. 
it's a diminutive.

I shocked to learn it's the exact same name. So often little bugs have vastly different names even from one region to another, let alone across languages!...
Example:
In the Northeast USA, we call them 'dragonflies', as you move south into Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas they are called 'darning needles'.
Interesting stuff.

Hmmm, I wonder if it's now archaic. It's one of the examples we talked about in a linguistics class many moons ago.

I lived in North Carolina for 11 years (Fayettenam) and there dragonflies are dragonflies.
I want a racoon almost as bad as I want a pet fox. I'm jealous.

It's not an easy under taking. Unless you buy a really expensive domesticated fox from Russia, you're dealing with a tame fox. For the raccoon my uncle has, he's had to give her an unused bedroom (hence the 80-year-old wallpaper) so that the rest of the house doesn't get torn apart.
They're also not very cuddly pets. People like to think cats aren't social animals. Cats are very much social, just not obedient and subservient like dogs. A tame fox or raccoon will tolerate you but will never act in the same manner a dog or cat will.

Yeah, I know racoons are terrible pets. It's just a fantasy I have because they're so darn cute. I'll never get one unless I'm filthy rich.
Russian foxes, on the other hand...

A raccoon is much cheaper than one of those, heh. 6-7 grand for the animal plus importation, assuming importation is possible.

I have a picture of our female cat, Pandora, while she had a collar on after getting sprayed. She looked so unhappy in the picture and yet so many times she was able to free herself of it. Her favourite spot in the whole world is my lap.

Please show us the picture. What did you spray her with?

Neutered her.
