Last weekend was spent in the Regional Landscape Park under the sign of the fluffy four-legged friends of people – the cats. Funny games, interesting competitions and fascinating quests were devoted to these animals. Regardless of popular warnings, the organizers proved that black cats are able to bring only good luck and a sea of positive.
As the result of photo competition “The life is not that good without a cat!” which was carried out among the users of social networks, who posted their selfies with cat pets, the winners were defined. The authors of the best photos selected by the respected jury consisting of the feline specialists of Feldman Ecopark and the entertainers, as well as the favourites of people’s voting on social networks were awarded with the prizes in form of necessary items for pet caring – cat scratchers, mats, and toys for cats.
The participants of the family quest “PUR-PUR-MEOW!” have demonstrated catlike dexterity and reaction at the competitions “Big Hunt” and “Dexterous like a cat,” affectation of these animals during the photo task “Fluffy Grace,” and mother wit at the smart location for the experts of the whiskered and striped animals “Who sad ‘meow?’.” The winners were also awarded with the special prizes for their cats.
Moreover, the visitors to Feldman Ecopark were able to create a cat house using a cardboard box and to take part in the game “Following the traces of a black cat.” And finally, everyone were able to arrange a real cat feast, which, by the way, was attended by everyone’s favourite Begemot, the black cat that lives in Feldman Ecopark. It was possible to make an original photo as a souvenir from the Cat Day in Feldman Ecopark in the special thematic photo zone.
The Theatre of Children and Animals of Feldman Ecopark continues to surprise the audience with their unusual shows. While during the last weekend the visitors were able to watch agility performances with dogs and goats, this weekend, they prepared an obstacle course for sheep, alpacas and ponies.
“The real challenge for the young trainers and their animals was the so-called ‘trust path,’ which was conquered by four ponies and seven alpacas accompanied by the artists of the Theatre. While usually the animals are trained to overcome one or another obstacle, the ‘trust path’ includes the tasks, which are new for the animals. And only a high level of trust in the trainer will make it possible for an animal to cope with it,” the organizers of the competitions told.
After the end of the competition, the participants of this and last week’s agility have given a gala concert, and the audience was able to choose the best ones.
