Sigge (11 years)
Our cat Sigge is of Siberian cat breed and he is a very social, cozy and friendly cat gentleman. He is a semi outdoor cat that always stays indoors during night. To avoid fights with the bad boys on the block. He needs to be fed 2 times per day and he has a automatic time scheduled cat flap door. He is not let out on his own without having his gps on so we know where he goes. He loves to sit on your lap and be cuddled and have his furry belly rubbed. The gps need to be charged every second night or so.
