Timosha greeted me right from the zoo’s opening.

He was sitting on the prince’s throne in the prince’s corner of the prince’s courtyard. In summer, he often sits there for hours, literally just a couple of arm’s lengths away from visitors. And attentively receives complaints that “the manul isn’t coming out.”

The prince solemnly ascended the watch-and-battle gallery of the prince’s kremlin.

And took up his watch-and-battle observation post.

Today is a good day.

    Юлия Бедринцева, A typical summer scene after lunch: Timosha is sitting on his shelf, while a stream of people passes by, habitually complaining, “Timofey didn’t come out.” Hark! Someone has spotted the cat on the shelf. A crowd, noise, commotion. The cat retreats into his little house. The crowd disperses. The cat comes back out onto the shelf. Cycle.
