Собственикът на две котки, вписани в Книгата на рекордите на Гинес, съобщи, че животните са загинали в пожара, който разруши къщата му в Детройт, САЩ, миналия месец, предаде Асошиейтед прес.

Уил Пауърс каза, че останките на котараците Сигнус и Арктурус били открити в опожарения имот. Мъжът е търсил домашните си любимци при инцидента, но аварийните екипи го накарали да напусне обхванатия от пламъци дом. Очевидно животните са умрели от задушаване. Продължава издирването на други две котки, които изчезнаха след пожара на 12 ноември.

 
 

We have been working with an excavation crew for the last few weeks following the fire that destroyed our home in Farmington Hills, Michigan on Sunday, November 13. Together with our family, our team sifted through rubble by hand in the hopes of eliminating the possibility that Arcturus, Cygnus, and Sirius remained in the house along with our friend's Yuki. __________________________________________ Although Will opened as many doors as he could upstairs and downstairs, and searched in vain for our boys, he was not able to locate them prior to being physically removed by fire rescue and law enforcement. Despite Will's incredible efforts, we confirmed today (during the excavation of the final room in our basement) that Cygnus and Arcturus remained hidden in our home and succumbed to smoke inhalation. We did not find any evidence that Sirius and Yuki remained in the home and our search for them continues. We do not wish to go into detail, but there is a significant reason to believe they are both alive. __________________________________________ With regard to our discovery of Cygnus and Arcturus, they were best friends in life and it gives us a small amount of peace that they were together at the end of their amazing journey on this earth. We are forever grateful for the time we were given to love them and ask that our friends and followers not post in memoriam content as our search continues. We want them to be remembered for their incredible personalities, their contributions to the Ferndale Cat Shelter, and their love for each other and their brother Sirius. __________________________________________ Thank you for all of the kind words and support over the last few weeks. We need positive thoughts more than ever as we continue our search for Yuki and Sirius.

Сигнус беше притежател на рекорда за най-дълга опашка на жива домашна котка - 44,66 сантиметра. Арктурус беше най-високата жива домашна котка в света - 48,4 сантиметра. И двамата бяха на 2 години.
