Monty and Molly, a sibling pair, entered this world with a rare chromosomal abnormality similar to Down syndrome in humans. This condition, which lacks a specific name, is extremely uncommon in cats, and its effects on their daily life are as mysterious as the condition itself.

Fenja plays a crucial role in looking after Monty’s health. She carefully monitors his sugar levels, administers insulin expertly when necessary, and seeks advice from vets when needed. Her culinary skills are also impressive as she prepares delicious meals specifically designed for diabetic cats, ensuring that each dish is a treat for Monty to enjoy.

Monty received his name from his mother, who was inspired by the comedy group Monty Python. She chose the name because she loves joy and positivity, and remembers their song “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” Monty definitely lives up to his name, as he always has a smile on his face no matter what he’s up to.
