Leo und Bibi

Die beiden Racker halten uns ganz schön auf Trab. Auf den Fotos ist deutlich zu sehen, daß Bibis Augen klar und deutlich sind, Leo seine trübe. Dennoch scheint unser kleiner Kater Leo ganz gut mit seinen  trüben Augen zurecht zu kommen. Auf jeden Fall ist er der ruhigere von beiden. Bibi ist wild und ungestüm, koste es, was es wolle. Egal, ob ihr irgendetwas weh tut oder nicht, sie springt wild hin und her und jagt den großen Leo durch das ganze Haus.
