Probably not as they didn't nuter their own...
The little one was from the shelter. He was nutered by default (he was 3 when he arrived at the shelter and still unnutered though!). The red one was a stray that had wandered in with my parents-in-law (they lived outside of town in a small farm house). Together with his brother. They were then about 8 months or so old. Probably kicked out of the car at the start of the summer holidays. My inlaws fed them and gave them some basic needs (food, water and some love). But they didn't want a cat anymore, because they wanted to emmigrate. And when that happened, my sister-in-law took one brother and we took the other. But only after he was nutered! (my mother-in-law went to the vet with him for a general health checkup, an animal passport
and nutering).
Responsible cat care is something his former owner never knew about... You could barely scratch his head, he'd stiffen up. If you picked him up, you might as well have picked up a stone, that's how stiff he would become. Now, he's such a sweet cat! He finally started to relax when picked up, he comes for head scratches and will simply cuddle up on you (if he likes you, otherwise you won't see him
)
We still wonder what happend to the little one (yes, that's his name, monster is his second
) He was a very well behaved cat, sweet, cuddly, most likely grew up with dogs. But he was picked up from the street. If only he could tell his tale...
