It has been a little while since my visit, but these are the feeding times at Novosibirsk Zoo. 
First, on September 19: when the keeper arrived with rats and chicks, the Pallas's cat kittens bounded after her in excitement. The keeper then tossed the food into the enclosure. 

On September 20, the keeper entered the enclosure to feed them—a way I had never seen before, as the meat had always been tossed in previously. （I have been visiting here every September for three years.）

Naim in Ueno Zoological Gardens

Yesterday, I was able to watch Naim undergoing husbandry training.

I'm uploading the video here, even though the footage is a bit unclear.

There is a possibility that the tumor has metastasized to Primula's lungs.

From the official website of Ueno Zoo.
It has been confirmed that Primula may have metastasized to the lungs.
At present, there are no major changes in her overall condition, such as appetite, or in her behavior. Going forward, in order to focus on detailed examinations and treatment, she will be moved to care in a restricted area. For that reason, Primula's public display will end on Sunday, August 30.
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
It will be sad not to be able to see Primula anymore, but I’m sure she’ll receive proper treatment 😢

The "Come&Meet the Siberian Pallas's Cats: Novosibirsk Zoo Pallas's Cat Photo Exhibition" successfully concluded on June 28th. 
It was a great success, attracting approximately 140 visitors over the course of six days. 
Prior to the event, I had asked Mr. Roman Paulov to help identify the individual Pallas's cats at Novosibirsk Zoo. Thanks to his assistance, Pallas's cat fans in Japan were able to learn the names of many of the manulcats at the zoo; thank you very much! 
Everyone felt a sense of familiarity with the manulcats, and many expressed a hope to visit Novosibirsk Zoo someday. It turned out to be a wonderful exhibition. 
Visitors were given a complimentary postcard featuring either Karaganda, Lastochka, or Snezhana, and everyone was delighted.
Thank you all for the great interest shown here at "Manulization" as well.

Snezhana in Novosibirsk Zoo

A photo exhibition of Pallas's cats opens in Tokyo today. The photos were taken at Novosibirsk Zoo in September 2024 and 2025. Approximately 40 photos are on display, including Karaganda, Lastochka, Snezhana, Lolo & her kittens, Snezinka & her kittens, and more. It is held in a cafe gallery, so there is a special menu. I will do my best to make it a great photo exhibition!
