Meet the beautiful, fluffy lady, Namika the Pallas's cat! She lives in Leningrad zoo.
Namika is six years, born on June 6, 2018, at Brno Zoo in the Czech Republic. She was the result of an unexpected and passionate romance between the beautiful Rosa and the young male, Makalu (who later moved to America, changed his name, and became Misha).
At one and a half years old, Namika relocated to St. Petersburg, to the Leningrad Zoo. Read more about the travels of Namika.
Namika was given her name in Brno Zoo where she was born. She was named after Namika La pass. It's a high mountain pass in the Zanskar mountain range in Himalayas, India. “Namika La” in Tibetan means “Pillar of the Sky Pass”. Read more about the names of Namika.
Namika instantly captivates with her intensely expressive gaze: alluring and slightly misty, with the dramatic effect of smudged mascara, as if she were a silent movie actress!
A true furry muse, she’s the kind of inspiration Silver Age poets would have written poems about and dueled over!
