use one database with windows pc and mac

Hi,
I use C1 9.02 in german Language on a macbook air OSX 10.11.2 German und a Windows PC with Windows 7 Pro German.
is it possible to use the same catalog with my mac and my windows pc?
I have created the catalog on my mac, then added photos and assign keywords. The catalog is located on a external ssd.
Back at home i connected this external ssd with my windows-pc and opened the (on the mac created) catalog.
At first glance everything was fine, but all with my mac assigned keywords were swapped:
Open catalog on mac, picture a has the keywords "car" an "house", picture b has the keywords "annimal" and "child"
When i open the same catlog withe windows version then picture a has now the keywords "child" and "dog" and picture b the keywords "car" and "boat" (all these keywords i have created in my catalog).

Also dont work smart albums (created with the mac version) not when i open this catalog in the windows version.
Thanks for all hints, what i am doing wrong?
Are the catalogs for the mac and windows-version not compatible?
Thanks Michael

I do have a similar question, even though I don't mind copying the database back and forth (which should not matter, of course).

I also want to use the database on both windows pc and mac, and also have issues with keywords. On my (old) mac things are getting too slow, so I wanted to do that on the PC, but I get regular crashes there ☹️

Is the implementation of keywords that buggy? Given other forum messages it seems so. I surely hope fixes are created soon.
