How did you meet Horst?

“We rescued Horst from the animal shelter on October 15, 2009. He was around three years old at the time.”

How did Horst get his name?

“The name is unusual for a cat. It’s an old-fashioned first name. Our daughter came up with the idea of ​​the name.”

What’s his personality like?

“Horst is a cuddly cat. He’s very affectionate and has never scratched us.”

Does he have any cat housemates?

“Horst lived as a single cat for a while. Sammy came to us in 2012. Horst looked after him like a mom. Sammy was run over by a car in October 2018. Then Bingo and Rosi came to us from the animal shelter. A ginger has lived here again since July. His name is Boris.”

What’s something special you’d want people to know about him?

“Horst feels naked without his collar.”
