Thanks for the many greetings
Where did they come from?
We got them from an animal rescue from lower Austria.
Spot was found in the streets of Vienna. He was in quite good condition, no injuries, no diseaes, well nourished. His "foster parents" told us, that he was very trustful, when he arrived in their house. He was -of course- hungry, but soon satisfied and happy. We think, that he always had a "nice" family and just grew too "old" and too large, so he had to disappear.
Zathras, our black panther, was found in a ditch between the highway and the railway. He must have been out in the wild for a while, because he was not in such a good condition as Spot. He was very thin, shy and full of parasites. When he arrived 4 days after Spot at the foster's house, they started a fight, which -we were told- was really heavy. But two days later they had cleared the ranking and since that moment they are good friends.
They were at the cat rescue for app. 5 weeks, when I found them in the internet, several days later both moved to our flat.
This was the first image of them (at the age of 6 months), which I saw in the internet...
They are both fantastic cats and I never want to give them away again!!
