In a generous gesture, these cats selflessly donate their fur to help birds build nests in their garden.
From mid-March to mid-August, nesting is generally in full swing. Birds scatter throughout gardens and near houses to find the right materials to make their cozy nests and welcome their young. Two cats who were particularly aware of the cause of birds by their owner have become active donors of their beautiful coats.
Cats and birds rarely go well together, and yet some cases prove just the opposite. Two Persian cats known on the web, and in particular on TikTok on the account @teddieandcasper , have been noted for their propensity to unload their rich fur to offer it to the birds in their area.
On the social network, you can watch a sequence showing the 2 cats: Teddie , the reddest of the Persians, and Casper , the cat with white hair. PetHelpful reports that the felines belong to an English retiree, who is very devoted to them and very sensitive to their well-being. It was he who initiated this daily ritual.
“We kindly donated our fur”
In the video posted on Tiktok , it is the Englishman who speaks, imitating an intervention from his cats: “We kindly donated our fur so that the birds can make their nests warm and comfortable for their babies” , he explains under the post.
The man is diligent and strives to brush his cats daily. He then gathers the fur and places it in his garden, in a special grid, designed to make life easier for the birds. In general, and as we see in the video, it is accompanied by his cats in his arms that he will lay down the famous fleece.
Lucky birds
Animal hair, especially that of cats which is fine and silky, is ideal for making nests . By regularly placing the hair of its felines in the specially designed grid, the home contributes to maintaining a virtuous ecosystem.
Contrary to what one might believe, English cats do not position themselves as hunters at all, on the contrary, they follow the situation with great attention, as if they understood the beautiful consequences of their gift. .
Proud of his Persians , the master films them almost every day and documents this little project which formalizes a very present link between feline and bird. Many birds rush near the man’s pergola and seem to take full advantage of the wealth that is altruistically offered to them.
Internet users won over by the generous action
From the first posts, Internet users showed their enthusiasm. Many of them testified in comments. A certain Karolina B reported, for example, that her dog, a Golden Retriever , had similar behavior, and even let the birds peck directly at the hairs on her back. Another Internet user, Jenny Nguyen , poetically emphasized: “the birds will have the most beautiful nests in the neighborhood” . All the subscribers salute the generosity of the action as well as the serenity of the cats, visibly delighted with this great initiative.
