Cat Psira
A name - warm like the Greek sun
In January of this year, a young family urgently asked us to take in their Psira, because their child was extremely allergic to the cat and had already had several hospital stays due to the severe allergy. Dieter Ehrengruber did not hesitate and took Psira in. She has now been living at Gut Aiderbichl Maria Schmolln for a few weeks. She is integrated into the local cat and - surprise, surprise - dog family.
By the way, the word Psira comes from the Greek and means "louse". At the same time, Psira is an uninhabited island in the north of Crete in beautiful Greece. This island is very karstic and light grey tabby, just like the coat of the beautiful Psira. This special cat was discovered by the family on a rubbish heap in Greece. A freshly born kitten on the rubbish - similar to our Count Dracula, only in Greece.
The family grew and the problems took their course
When Psira was three years old, the animal-loving lady had a daughter. Now, unfortunately, the tragedy began in the family. The little daughter loved Psira more than anything, but was diagnosed with a severe cat allergy. The girl had to go to hospital again and again. Of course, things could not go on like this. The child's health was at stake, and so was the cat's happiness.
Psira came to the shelter
The cat did not like to get along with the other residents and became more and more stressed. Psira was placed in a single room, which of course did not improve the situation. Immediately, the young mother picked Psira up from the shelter again to pass her on to another lady who was eager to take the cat in. Perhaps it turned out that Psira was not happy with the back and forth. Psira behaved strangely in her new home and did not find any trust. So she was returned to the family with the highly allergic child.
Alone in a room - that could not be the future
Psira was kept away from the little daughter, because being close to Psira would very quickly trigger another allergic shock. So where to put the cat? Locking her up could not and should not be the solution.
Above all, Psira loves being outside, feeling the sun and maybe catching a mouse somewhere. Locked up in a room, the cat finds neither one nor the other. Frustration grew, the cat's eyes were restless. The family also knew the farms of Gut Aiderbichl and desperately asked as a last resort and they were lucky. With a perfect health certificate, Psira was allowed to become part of our family. The first few days the cat lady was a bit stressed, but in the meantime she has settled in really well. She strolls and sneaks around the yard like a greek goddess and enjoys her life. And surprise, surprise: she also likes dogs.
