This
is Katrin the Persian, although we call her Katya. Katya likes to walk
on a leash. It all started when she was nine years old. I never really trained
her, I just put a leash on and carried her outside. In a week Katya sat by
the door and cried till we went for a walk. And we went almost every day at first.
Katya is not like other cats and dogs though. Nature is not interesting for
her, she doesn't hunt or even pretend too, animals annoy her, nature looks
the same. Buildings are good, all different and you can go inside. But
people's attention is what she loves more than food.
Old town is one of her favorite locations, no nature, lots of groups of
people and tourists (her favorite, they usually take pictures with very big
black interesting things and not cellphones, also they speak different
languages Katya doesn't understand) and they all go "aww" and take pictures
of her. If Katya thinks that that amount of people is good enough for her
majesty she even would stop for a while and let hem take photos of her being
pretty and not her butt while she is walking away. Sometimes it looks very
funny, Katya walks and a bunch of people walk along and photograph/film her,
like some movie star.
Lastly I want to mention that in winter she wears clothes because her fur
isn't capable of keeping warmth after nine years of indoor living at all. I
thought she would hate it, but she is perfectly fine with it. And due to her
age hot summers are hard for her as well and she lets us shave her every year.
I can't describe all her weirdness and awesomeness (a sheep fell in love with
Katya, tried to kiss her and got a slap in the face; Katya went into the sea
on her own despite being afraid of showers and now waves; likes sliding and
spinning and tunnels on playgrounds for kids; instantly makes people smile on
the street and so on) here, but she is truly special.
