Eva's kittens are mastering the art of communication

Eva's son, IV, born in 2026, and Eva's daughter, II, born in 2026, are mastering the art of communication. In the fight, the juvenile thug won, but they still haven't quite mastered the art.

Today is a good day.

With this post, I am concluding a micro-study of the 2026-born minuls at the Novosibirsk Zoo in September 2026. Previous posts:

Snezhana’s son, born in 2026, Ⅰ is sometimes elusive, but at other times (as, for example, today) he spends the whole day out and about.

Remember the results of the first 2026 gender reveal party? The boy and the girl surprised many people back then. Let’s see what they look like now at the age of 4 2/3 months.

Lolo’s daughter, born in 2026, I posed beautifully on the little porch of the house today.

Продолжаю исследовать Новосибирских котят 2026 г.р. В прошлый раз удалось рассказать про Пять котят Евы и Ачи, сегодня продолжу очаровательными котятами Адель и Жоры, известными с лёгкой руки участника чата Telegram канала Манулизация Евгения Клюева как Жордельки (комбинация имён ЖОРа и аДЕЛЬ плюс уменьшительный суффикс).

Оговорюсь сразу, перечисляю их в порядке, в котором фотографировал вчера. Котёнок Адель 2026 г.р. I совсем не обязательно условно первый Жорделик, как я их называю ниже. Пожалуйста, не запутайтесь.

Внмнаие! Нумерация в данной публикации распространяется только на данную публикацию.

Условно первый Жорделик. Он(а) же с лёгкой руки участника чата Telegram канала Манулизация Ira Демоническая Жорделька. Самый активный котёнок. Третирует всех в вольере. Дразнит Жору. Любит отдыхать в гамаке, откуда выгоняет всех, очевидно считая гамак своим.

Following the update at 10:34 today, Thu, September 10, 2026, the publication Marik. Incident Story from September 7 has been finalized. As of now, we know that Marik is receiving all the necessary care, and that the situation is under control at the very top. All our efforts can only irritate and embitter the specialists, whose work is difficult enough as it is.

Thank you to everyone who has been following and continues to follow the updates, who worried and are worrying about Marik. We have all had difficult days. Ahead lie even more difficult days of hope and anticipation.

A photograph of Marik in Novosibirsk Zoo
Marik in Novosibirsk Zoo,

I took this photo yesterday, Monday, September 7, 2026, at 17:42 local time. I confess, I didn’t notice right away. The kitty has a wet beard, funny (not).

There is nothing funny about unusual behavior in a cat. Any cat owner knows that. But, mea culpa, not even a twitch.

Lolo and Achi’s kittens broke the shelter

Author: Pavel Burov

Just imagine it. Three entrances/exits instead of one. You can give mom or your sister a little bop on the head with your paw through the window. New possibilities and a new field for research.

The kittens took environmental enrichment into their own paws, and such success right away!

It was a good day.

The Five Kittens of Eva and Achi 2026

Today, on Saturday, September 5, 2026, I had the chance to see Eva and all five of her kittens together in the enclosure. I quickly snapped photos of all the minuls as best I could. They still haven’t been given names, and their sex hasn’t been determined, so the photos are (for now?) without captions. These shots clearly have no artistic value, but as documentary evidence of their growing up, they may come in handy.

A lovely ginger child. The sunniest one, and, as it seemed to me, the most spirited.

Manulover Birthday

Pavel Burov

Officially, the club of utterly unhinged manulovers admits people who have completed at least one manultour. A manultour is a trip to another city and/or country whose main purpose was to visit at least one manul.

Just after midnight on 2 September 2026, I completed my first manultour. Three days in Saint Petersburg, three days in the Leningrad Zoo, three days watching the fluffy gang of manul intellectuals.

It all began in an almost anecdotal way. I settled on the dates, booked a hotel “somewhere near Peter and Paul Fortress, with the zoo, that green patch on the map, closer to it,” bought round-trip train tickets. On my way out to Leningrad Station, I checked the ticket. I learned that the train had left a little less than a day earlier. Indeed, if I need to arrive on Sunday morning, then I need a ticket for the night from Saturday to Sunday; let’s look for tickets for Saturday evening — here it is, the most convenient one, at 00:25. 00:25 on Saturday. By chance, a ticket on the morning Sapsan turned up. The trip was saved.

Then came a hectic Sunday, 30 August, with an early wake-up, the Sapsan at seven, in Saint Petersburg at eleven, a dash to the zoo and shooting, shooting, shooting from the road. There I struck up a conversation with local manulovers, got advice on the enclosures, the family, who to watch for and when. By around four, the rain had washed me out of the zoo. I checked into the hotel, dried off, went out for a walk along Nevsky. And, of course, ended up at the zoo. Indeed, the rain had stopped — why waste time? By the enclosures I noticed a couple with a “Zoo Walks” sticker; one thing led to another, and there it was: a wonderful tour of the Leningrad Zoo. Thanks to Zoo Walks — it was great and very cozy.

Monday pleased me with good weather, brief showers, and the most comfortable temperature. The cats were out walking; I was filming. Everything was great, but by around seven the kittens had worn out not only their mother, but me as well. I had to leave and, in the end, go for a walk along Nevsky anyway. On the avenue I found the “Wonderful Nearby” shops. Be careful. Visiting this chain may cause memory lapses and convulsive bouts of uncontrollable cat-cuteness buying. You have been warned.
