Small
reality story about loyalty of the Siberian cat.
The Siberian cat Foma lived in my parents family already before my birth.
When I was born my mother wanted to give a cat in other home because feared for a child.
My mom had a very gentle character and a fear come over her… I hope you well understand why )))… A cat was very big and daughter was very little )))… Foma was very sweet, but it had weight about 9 kg...
And then my dad brought a cat to my grandmother. She lived not far from our house. But... Foma came back in home in a day.
And then a dad brought a cat to the friends. They lived at other outskirts of town. A town was small. Two days passed... and Foma came back in home again.
And then a dad drove Foma to other my grandmother who lives in village. This was of the taiga hamlet in the distance a 40 km from a town.
You know that mobile telephones were not three decades ago yet. Even stationary telephones were rareness for the taiga hamlets.
And you will understand that my parents were very surprised when they saw Foma near the doors in a month . They thought that a cat lives in grandmother`s house.
Foma went to the native home all this long long month. Foma wanted to go back into the native home and he returned.
He came dirty, becoming thin, but he was able to reach to home.
And since Foma lived with us to his old age.. He lived 17 years and I think he was happy as well as we…
And since for me it is impossible to live without my Siberians..
