The fur of the orange hangover is under the tangles, it has fleas and has dried out. But he is not thin and he seems healthy, according to the check by the vet. Nicky Snitjer from the Dierenbescherming: “Perhaps someone has taken care of him for a while and has moved or died. In any case, we think he has not been cared for recently.”
Thunder is now at home with Vincent, Mariska, their three daughters and four cats in Drenthe. Only the oldest has experienced thunder, but she no longer has memories of him. Everything is new for Donder, he never lived in this house. To get used to it, he first stays in the office. There he is hiding under the desk for a large part of the time.
Vincent: “It is a difficult balance in between leaving it with peace and that he will stay shy or try that he gets a little love.”
Donder was finally found on the Zerniketerrein, about five hundred meters from the house from which he escaped. It is frustrating that they will never know what Donder has been up to all the time. Vincent: “Terrible, he could talk, he could tell him. Then we had a very good story with a beer.”
