Chelyabinsk, Russia - On November 18th, 2022, Maria Vyguzova sat down to rest and decided to send a video message to a friend. Little did she know, this message would capture a moment that she would never forget. In the video, Maria spoke about her beloved cat Persik, who, as usual, had kept her up all night, only to sleep soundly during the day.

But something happened during this video that caused Maria to panic. She realized that Persik had stopped breathing. In a moment of fear and desperation, Maria rushed to her cat's side, not leaving until she was certain that he was okay. This small moment of panic reminded Maria just how much she loved her furry friend and how much he meant to her.

Persik has been a part of Maria's life for five years now. She rescued him from overexposure as a kitten, and from the moment he entered her home, he immediately became the owner. Persik has a unique personality and loves to sleep exclusively in Maria's embrace or on her head. He enjoys hugging and kissing and never fails to greet Maria at the door with a warm embrace.
