Where do cats come from ?

On what criteria were they chosen ?

The essential criterion for the choice of our cats was their ability to live in groups. The group includes about ten felines, so it is important that they manage to live well together. Their sociability towards humans has also been an important criterion so that you can enjoy their company.
