Orals waar twee Durbanvillers gaan, trek hulle aandag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maar dis om geen ander rede as Isak Venter en sy lewensmaat, Amanda van Wyk, se twee Bengaalse katte nie. Napoleon en sy Jos\u00e9phine word saamgeneem as hulle gaan kamp, en daar sluip hulle soos wilde Bengaalse tiere op ontdekkingstogte rond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die een jaar oue katte het meer die persoonlikheid van honde, s\u00ea Venter, wat eintlik glad nie \u2019n katmens is nie. Nie net loop hulle aan leibande, ry saam kar en selfs kajak nie, hulle gaan haal ook goed en bring dit vir hul \u201couers\u201d, vertel hy trots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dis ook nie net in die kampeerterrein waar hulle die kalklig steel nie; ook as hulle by hul huis in Avalon Estate gaan \u00adstap, laat hulle die koppe draai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bengaalse katte, of Bengals<\/em>, soos hulle alombekend is, speel ook soos honde \u2013 sonder enige opleiding, s\u00ea Van Wyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Di\u00e9 katras is geteel uit die Asian Leopard Cat van Suidelike Asi\u00eb en met die Egyptian Mau gekruis, verduidelik sy. Hul katte kom van \u2019n teler in Pretoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Van Wyk is die \u201cleeutemmer\u201d in die huis wat die katte hul toertjies leer. Hulle kan sit, poot gee en selfs<\/span>\u2019n<\/span> high five <\/em>\u00e9n low five<\/em> doen. Dit doen sy met \u2019n klieker om die gewenste gedrag aan te moedig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMet \u2019n stukkie bederf as beloning natuurlik! <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOns kies gewoonlik private kampeerplekke waar honde nie toegelaat word nie, of waar net een staanplek is,\u201d s\u00ea Venter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die katte kamp graag en jag heeldag lank. Soms raak hulle s\u00f3 meegevoer en verdwyn as kamp opgepak word om huis toe te gaan. Gelukkig het hulle intussen opsporingshalsbande aangeskaf waarmee die katte maklik gevind kan word, s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGewoonlik is hulle net op jag, en steur hulle hulle aan niks en niemand nie, of dalk is hulle net nie lus om huis toe te gaan nie,\u201d s\u00ea Venter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Naps en Phinie, hul byname, hou ook baie van die see en daarom kamp hulle gereeld by Tietiesbaai. Hulle ry dan graag saam kajak en speel in die water. Hulle gaan stap ook graag op die strand en lok groot reaksie uit \u2013 veral as dit lyk of hulle die honde op die strand wil jaag!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die katte eet \u2019n spesiale dieet van rou vleis, been en organe, wat Van Wyk aanlyn bestel. \u201cDis gewoonlik kalkoen, volstruis en hoender. Napoleon en Jos\u00e9phine vang ook soms \u2019n wilde vo\u00ebl soos \u2019n duif. Hulle eet ook brommers, motte en torre,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHulle is baie verveeld by die huis en ons sal dikwels s\u00ea: Die katte het \u2019n kamp nodig!\u201d vertel Van Wyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daarom is hul huis ook \u2019n paradys vir avontuurlike katte \u2013 \u2019n reusewiel waarin hulle soos hamsters kan hardloop, twee klouterbome met spesiale slaapmandjies, klouterrakke teen die muur en selfs \u2019n tonnel op die trappe. In die tuin is daar bakke met kattekruid en eetbare gras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die katte het ook spesiale l\u00eaplekke as hulle iewers heen ry \u2013 \u2019n tipe hangmatjie wat aan die ruit vassuig sodat hulle lekker kan l\u00ea en uitkyk in die ry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar dis meestal hulle wat ander motoriste se aandag trek, vertel Venter. G\u2019n wonder hulle het ook hul eie Instagram-rekening nie!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Orals waar twee Durbanvillers gaan, trek hulle
