Sad news: Innokentiy the manul has passed away ๐
Sad news came from the Center for the reproduction of rare species of animals: Babnik Kesha, Karagandaโs eldest son, has passed away ๐
Kesha lived a long manul life โ he was 11 years old. The cause of death was cancer.
We first met Innokenty in purrson in January of this year. Like a true son of Karaganda, he was secretive, elusive, and not happy to have visitors. Still, he allowed us to admire him for a few minutes: peeking out from behind the snowdrifts with his big, round emerald eyes, as if asking, โWho are you?โ It was both beautiful and very funny! โบ๏ธ
This is how we will remember Kesha โ as a funny, cute, incredibly charming, fluffy little forest spirit, peeking out from behind a snow-white snowdrift among the birches, looking at us with wonder and caution ๐
May you have an endless sunlit heavenly steppe, dear manul. And good hunting! ๐๐ป
We extend our condolences to the staff of the Center for the reproduction of rare species of animals and to all manulovers ๐

WHATโฆ no.. our Inokesha..๐ญ๐
Happy hunting๐๐ I hope the heavenly mice are just as tasty as the earthly ones, and Kesha will be happy๐ญ
What a golden sun this little one was! Itโs such a shame that heโs gone. Let us be grateful that he was with us and so generously gave us so much joy! My condolences to the staff of the Center, and many thanks to them for the wonderful conditions they created for this remarkable cat! May you have a gentle rainbow, dear one, a beautiful forest, and cozy burrows! Plenty of tasty pikas and free winds! ๐๐
11 years... It seems he could have lived a little longer in his own domain. What a pity... He was so much like his starry dad, Karaganda.๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Keshenka ๐ญย
How sad for Kesha Karagandovich, the fluffy little forest sprite with his daddyโs eyes ๐ฅThere is no pain there๐
Good hunting in the upper tundra, cat!
A true Karaganda native.
Leshy Babnik. I'm devastated.ย
No... No... This can't be. Kesha, how could this happen?๐ฟ๐
Goodbye, Kesha! ๐ข
How could this be, Keshenka, you should have had so much more life to live ๐
Hunt happily in manulhalla, dear Kesha!ย
Rest in peace darling <3
What a lovely face! ๐ญ๐ญ
I've just received this sad news, rest in peace Noble Innokenty! :(
Oh no! ๐ญ Rest easy, dear Innokenty. ๐
So sad! Maneki Neko is now the oldest offspring of Karaganda I believe. May he rest in peace with many Pika!
