Cat Linus had to take a new path

and found the love of his life - cat Abigail

For years Linus lived as an outdoor cat and then always came home to his owner, who had once taken him from the shelter. Everything seemed fine until the lady's housing situation had to change and the cat could no longer live as a free roamer.

Linus could not understand this at all, he was getting worse and worse and the solution for his sadness was supposed to be medication. Linus, however, didn't want medication, he wanted to go out into nature. He wanted to feel the sun, chase mice and have fun in life. Just as he had been used to for many years.

A patent meeting at Gut Aiderbichl brought the turning point

Linus should become a happy cat again. His owner spoke to Dieter Ehrengruber directly about her problem. A short listen - a smile - a handshake and Linus became Aiderbichler.

Linus' letter to Dieter Ehrengruber and the animal keepers at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf

Hello!
My name is Linus or Lumpi. I am 10 years old and very cuddly. My great passion is nature and warmth. Sometimes I am timid and very cautious, but very fast and trusting. I am a very sociable, playful, but also greedy cat. With the food I am not at all choosy.
The first days with you will be a big adjustment, but I am looking forward to the promised, large enclosure. I am a nature boy and also love hunting.
Thank you for having such a great place for me! nus letter to Dieter
Ehrengruber and the animal keepers of Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf

Animals have to come to terms with the circumstances

People get dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc. because they love animals and want to have them around. To cuddle, to pamper, to tell problems and simply to love. When, like in the case of Linusthe living situation of the human being But an animal no longer understands the world. That's how Linus must have felt. How is Linus today?

Linus has found the great love of his life - cat Abigail

Linus has now also moved - to the cat living room of the Heimathof Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf. At the beginning he was shy, reserved, waiting, a little bit hissing, but also cuddly, he moved into a smaller room, which is connected to the large cat living room.en living room. Here, at the moment, the door is still closed, and Linus can think about whether he wants to go out into the big room at some point.
At the moment he is terribly in love and his beautiful cat eyes look like little hearts. - he only has eyes for the beautiful cat Abigail. Also Abigail feels similar to Linus. It is cuddled, purred and enjoyed with all forces the life.

Cats effortlessly achieve what is denied to us humans: to go through life without making noise.
