For 20 years in a row, Russia has celebrated Cat Day. It was founded by employees of the Moscow Cat Museum and the editors of the publication “Cat and Dog” in 2004. They organized a holiday dedicated to purrs for the first time.
On this day, cat exhibitions and competitions are held in some cities of our country. Well, Myslo asked readers in the telegram channel to talk about furries. They did not pass by and shared the cutest stories about how they met their pets.
Anubis
– Afraid of loud noises and strangers. Very affectionate. When I come home from work, he asks to be held in my arms. Appeared three years ago. There was a cat and kittens at the dacha, and they came running all summer to eat. The cold weather was already approaching, only two kittens remained. I decided not to leave them to freeze and took them both. She kept Anubis for herself, and placed the girl in good hands,” said reader Alena Verbitskaya.
Nyusha and Sonya
— Nyusha’s home nickname is Queen. She is very affectionate, but she considers sitting on her arms to be above her dignity. The history of its appearance is simple. I said I wanted a cat. Grandma saw a kitten at the market and really liked her eyes. The Queen has been living with us for 13 and a half years. My favorite pastime is sleeping or exploring my possessions, writes Lana Tikh.
— Sonya’s mother calls her Elektrobroom. She is only two years old. The cat is active, especially at night. I work as a courier, I picked her up on the street when I was delivering an order to a client. Sonechka’s favorite pastime is playing with Nyusha.
Seven
– He is Semyon Semyonich, Matyatya, Bandit. A cross between a bulldog and a rhinoceros. Lives with us for 6 months. A very active child, loves to eat well and play a lot. When he is in a bad mood, he tears and throws everything that gets in his way. Usually our older cat gets caught. And it can even be very affectionate and gentle,” writes Anastasia Morozova.
Chester
– He is three years old. I always wanted a ginger cat, but then my godchildren picked up a stray kitten on the street. He loves to be stroked and scratched, but will not sit in your arms for even a minute. My favorite game is catch-up, writes Yulia Podkopaeva.
Grisha
— Grisha or Grinya are of Scottish blood. He is six years old. The smartest and most affectionate cat. He eats exclusively with us and always waits for us to sit down at the table. Then he goes to his bowl to eat. He is also very caring. He likes to accompany his son to bed until he falls asleep; he will lie with him in the bedroom and look after him. And then he comes to my husband and me and goes to bed in his place. In the mornings, when everyone leaves for work and school, he sits in the hallway with us until the last minute, seeing us off.
Zeus
– My pride. My Maine Coon. He has lived with us for 5 years,” writes Tatyana Kopylova.
Marusya and Gella
— Marusya was found near Zakharovka on the road. Gella is a cat from the cemetery, writes Svetlana Semenova.
Miechka
— In the fall of 2023, we adopted a two-month-old kitten from the street. He has a bad character, he won’t let anyone offend him, if he raises his voice a little, he starts hitting with his paws. But at the same time she is very affectionate, especially if she asks for treats, writes Margarita Proskurina.
