Marik. Resolution of uncertainty
On September 10 of this year, I wrote in the post Marik. The publication “The Story of the Incident” has been finalized:
We have all been through difficult days. Even more hard days of hope and waiting lie ahead.
This evening, news arrived that brought the difficult days of hope and waiting to a close. Marik opened the door to summer and went over the rainbow to a land of the finest hunting and soft little clouds.
Forgive me, cat. You were so much bigger on the inside than you were small on the outside.
Marik in Novosibirsk Zoo,
And good hunting in the upper tundra!

It is bitter to read this. Run across the rainbow, kitty ..
Not the news that I was hoping for, but nevertheless, thank you for sharing 💔
Marik always lived in a very difficult-to-photograph enclosure.
One winter day, I was straining to reach as close as possible through the fence toward his enclosure, so that the bars would get in the way less. Then, all of a sudden, two lively, spirited, and, as it turned out, resourceful grannies came up to me and said: “Oh, sweetheart, just climb over the fence and take a photo!” 😏
I replied: “No, I don’t want to break the zoo rules.”
And they said to me: “We’ll cover for you! No one will see!” And they smiled conspiratorially 😁
But I still refused. And now I think: damn, I should have agreed. It would have been a nice photo to remember him by.
But even without all the photos that never happened, I will remember you, golden-eyed Bandit 💛
May you have an endless heavenly steppe, dear Marik Mievich the Elder!🙏

What a cool one.
Look what a handsome cat.
“And may I ask what purpose you are photographing me for?”
Goodbye, Bandit, give my best to Bayun...
I looked through the still-unsorted archives from my June trip to Novosibirsk. I pulled out a few photos of Marik. And do you know what I saw there?
HEAPS of adorable kittens. Anechka. Miyushenka. Zosya’s butt 🤩 Handsome, slender Zhora. Adelka the photo model. Snezhinka. Snezhanka. Gabichka. Katunka the little rascal. Damn, all of them.
Life goes on. Thank you, cat, for all the orbits around the Sun that you flew with us aboard this most comfortable spaceship. And thank you for helping us live and notice beauty even after you left the route. You got off, but we keep cutting through time and space. And loving cats. Because cats are wonderful.
Life goes on. The spaceship keeps making its rounds, the cats bask in the Sun, we love cats. Everything is fine.
Thank you for everything, Marik.
Soft clouds and a bright rainbow to you, Marik.
You will live forever in our memories, dear cat.
Pavel Burov,
Look at Adelka's little felt boots. Aren't they adorable?
May your hunting be good in the heavenly steppe, Marik🫡 I hoped until the very end that you would recover, but alas. . .
Oh, Marik. I am sorry.
Poor Mia has lost so many children. Marik, Bayun, their brother who never had a name, their little sister. And Ginger and Goroshinka.
chuluu, Sneshinka and Snezhanka remained. And Seryi. There it is—the secret! All of Miyushka's children should have been given names beginning with S.
I don’t know why I calculated this, but in 4 years and just over three months, Marik traveled around the Sun with us for exactly 4 billion kilometers.
It was an awesome journey. Just imagine—a 4-billion-kilometer trek with such an incredibly cool cat.
