Over the rainbow

‘My first cat was 14 years old when she passed away. She became very ill and unfortunately found her way to heaven, over the rainbow bridge,’ Andrea says. The term rainbow bridge was not made up by her, it is actually a commonly used term by pet owners. It refers to a place where it is always sunny, there are green meadows and a colourful bridge that leads an animal to heaven. The term dates back to the 1980s or 1990s and was supposed to help deceased pet owners begin their grieving process.

Love at first sight

After losing her beloved cat, her partner immediately started looking for a new one. ‘He looked at the website of our local animal shelter and there his eye fell on two little guys. It was actually love at first sight. When I first met them, I also fell in love. It was clear we had to adopt them.’

Buggy and Murhpy soon felt at home. ‘We didn't expect them to get used to their new home and to us so quickly, given their past. They were left in an empty household for a few days.... I think they have a very strong bond with each other, they don't leave each other's side. If Buggy is in the kitchen, you will find Murphy there too. We also call them ‘Uhu and Pattex’. The boys are together 24/7. But we're not complaining though!’

No drawbacks

Andrea sees no disadvantages to caring for a cat, or in her
case two cats. "Many people hate to see cat hair everywhere, but to be
honest, it doesn't matter to me. In fact, I don't think you're well dressed
without some cat hair on your clothes," Andrea says with a smile.

She sees her two boys as her children. "They are my
loyal friends. I like to hear them purr, that calms me down. Buggy and Murphy
seem to make me forget my worries and stresses of everyday life. What more
could you want?"

Vice versa, Andrea also makes sure that her two boys have
everything their hearts desire: "I gave them two scratching posts, which
they absolutely love. They are in their playroom". She says that Buggy and
Murphy spend most of their time (together) in the hammocks, like most cats.
