Beloved companion – deformed and blind: where is the male “mucki”?

It is scientifically proven that dogs and cats can be an enormous enrichment for old, only living people. After all, the fluffy housemates offer society, comfort and unconditional love. You can also minimize the feeling of loneliness and even improve mental health. However, it is important to choose an animal that fits your own lifestyle.

There are two companions to be found
Silvia Wohlmuth (53) from Mariasdorf in the Oberwart District was also worried when she was looking for a suitable cat for her handicapped, now the 83-year-old mother Martha five years ago. She found what she was looking for with veterinarian Christoph Haller in Markt Allhau. “He had opened three -quarters of a year of unsuitable black -gray -tiger with white fur shares, which had been transferred to him.” Mucki “, so his name has been half blind since his accident. He can no longer open the left. His head has been distorted, his mouth is crooked, the lower jaw was wasted. Nobody wanted these poor, but I wanted it right away. Little Racker in love,” says Silvia Wohlmuth, who works as an insurance worker at home and only in the weekend.

A strong band
Her mother and “mucki” were a heart and a soul, she says. Because the hangover was not allowed outside on the advice of the vet, he was only in the pensioner’s house. Because this is bedridden and must be maintained, he no longer gave her side away, but nestled in bed towards her and was satisfied. After all, the old lady also relaxes that cats have a therapeutic effect on people. You can contribute to relieving various symptoms, lowering the stress level and promoting relaxation. Your purr even has a positive effect on blood pressure and heart rate.

So everything was good – until last March there was a carelessness: “My mother had installers in the house. Unfortunately they did not take my request to keep the door closed. That is why Mucki escaped and has been wrong since then.”

All attempts have failed so far
Immediately Silvia Wohlmuth, who worked in the home office that day, went looking for the Visually Handicapped Kater. She set tracks, hung for search posters, informed all vets in the area, informed animal welfare houses and the Animal Search Center Austria and also missed “Mucki” as on various Facebook pages. Searches also start regularly with friends.

So far in vain. “My last hope is the Kronen Zeitung! As readers, Mucki ‘saw or recorded with themselves, please report! We miss him terribly! Since then my mother has been worse.
