Hunter's Enigma Gepard *HR- aka Pepi
My first encounter with this breed was, believe it or not, during the period when I was looking for suitable breed of dog for our family. When our dog Gaj was brought home, there was still something missing. After some time I discovered that, that “thing” that is missing is a cat. At first glance, I fell in love with the shape and size of the cat breed Maine Coon, but as a student I somehow I never had enough money in my pigibank to buy one.
In 2009, I finaly had the oportunity to buy this feline beauty. Though, he didn’t came to me as a kitten, but as a grown up, little over a year old cat, in a bad psycho-physical contition, I was very happy, because my big wish come true..
Gepards arrival to our house meant many new, beautiful and also some sad things , especially when this beauty suddenly became ill. But thank God and successful team of veterinarians, he was soon back on his feet. With good nutrition and a lot of care, during the months gained on fantastic physical condition, and with showing him a lot of love and attention he has also begun to trust us and become an 'open' happy, loving, trusting cat.
Although Gepard is a pure breed cat, I was never thinking about shows, untill I met, now, a very good friend of mine named Simona. After talking for couple of times about shows and everything that is connected with them I decided to go on one with Gepard and we will show our self to the judges and visitor. And?? I was in love. Shows become part of me and my life. I have met a lot of people there that had and still have the same opinion about cats as I do. We belive that cats are not only animals but they are our best friend and family members.
Since then, I and Gepard are going to some shows in a year and we both enjoy them. Gepard is completely relaxed and he loves to be admired by visitors and I, I enjoy them, because they mean to me, joy, hanging with friends, relaxations and hobby, that giver me will and energy in my life
Gepard- aka Pepi as we call him at home, is from Croatia to be more exact from Zageb, from cattery Hunter's Enigma (owned by Petra Dimić). He was born on 27.12. 2007, along with six brothers and sisters. He grew up with the other kittens and cats in the cattery and with a few dogs. He is now 4 years old and weighs about 8 kg. He is a real gentle giant.
Gepard brought to our family a lot of happiness, laughter and every once in a while also some tears and a night with out sleeping. But… I can say, that he is worth all the happiness in the world, every laughter and also every tear drop that was once cried because of him. I love him very much and I belive that he loves me back.
