🍎TRANSLATION. PART2️⃣ 15:13 Comment: finally you are on line! Hello to Messi. Nice watching you. Masha: Yes, finally, we did it! I just know, and many people are sending us e-mails saying that Sunday is not Sunday for them anymore without our live stream, without having our conversation, without seeing Messi. We couldn’t ignore that and not to come on line. Q Is it difficult to live with cougar? Masha: Yes, it is, of course it is. By difficulty I don’t mean care, because when animal is used to toilet or to a routine nothing difficult in this. But there is a difficulty is raising animal in such a way that it’s become easier for you to live with it. Sasha: it’s important to raise an animal without breaking it. Sometimes people are breaking if parents are too strict in raising their children. You have to feel a boundary between being a friend and being a boss. Masha is replying to comment and saying problem with connecting the stream was in program itself and not in gadgets they are using. Sasha: we had to delete the program and reinstall it, and it worked after that. Masha: But from the beginning it was like that with us, it became our punch line, we experienced problems with live streams: we couldn’t come on line, or something became not visible, or comments don’t open. Those who are with us from the very first live stream they know it was always like that. And when we come on line and start the stream without any complications it’s so surprising to us. Other way around is normal. Sasha: there was even a joke about us: If stream has started on time and everything is working it’s definitely not Sasha’s and Masha’s stream. 18:15 Q Does Messi burp wool balls like other cats? Masha: Yes, sure, he does it. He is licking himself and it’s normal for them. Sasha: this is how it should be in cats. But they shouldn’t be doing that very often. As I said before they stomach fluids are very acidic, so you should control their burb and excrement. It’s not good to make home diagnosis, but watching carefully and noticing any change will give you an idea when you should see the vet with your cat. And sometimes for example when you see in the stool that food is not digested you can give preventive medications, to support pancreas which is a wide spread problem in cats. You can give Pancreatin or Coreon which is the same. If cat has high acidic level in it’s stomach it might have a loose stool, so you can try giving it Amez to lower acidic level in the stomach. 20:22 Q Are you afraid of virus? Masha: Hmmm, we would like not to catch it, so the answer is rather yes, than no. 20:40 Q Tell us what was the end of the story in one video where Messi made a hole in Sasha’s sweater, and Messi run from Sasha is a funny way. (both are giggling) Masha: What was the end...they both were keep playing a game “Catch me if you can” Sasha: he went hiding MAsha: he went hiding in his house, and as you know his house is his shelter when he is untouchable. We both had a good laugh, and were a bit sorry about sweater. 21:43 Q Can you advice something..my cat demand everything with a loud sound, it being very vocal when it asks for food, or to play, even at night asking for my arm to sleep on it. What can I do to stop it. Masha: Maybe your cat is just very talk active Sasha: you can’t do anything about it (smiling) Masha: If your cat always has been this way, then this is how it is Sasha: It same like humans...One person who is very communicative he will always look for other people to talk to. And if person is reserved then even surrounded with many people at a party he will remain reserved, not talking much to others. The same thing is in this case with the cat. It is a character of your cat. 22:43 Q How did Messi behaved when he first started to live with you? Was he afraid of you like Ichel or was he comfortable straight away? Masha: He was comfortable from the very beginning. And it’s not that only we had a feeling that we are comfortable with him, but also he felt he is home immediately. Sasha: he was with us all the time, he wasn’t hiding and didn’t look for a shelter to hide in it. Good boy. 23:45 Comment: I’m so sory for your loss, please, at least one a year make a test for Messi and Kira for onco-markers. Masha: Thank you very much for your support and advice. But I think we are among those people who sleep better when they know less (Russian saying). We faced this situation in live more than once. Unfortunately, with humans everything was going on the same track as with animals or as it happened with Ichel. After visiting clinic she never went out her enclosure again. So it’s better not to know about it. Sasha: I sincerely think that she also understood everything what is happening (voice like he is holding his tears) 24:58 Masha is reading another message with condolences Masha: Guys, I understand your feelings very well. And I wanted to say that those comments that you were writing under the video, we honestly and truly tried to read them and let you know that we saw them.. Sasha: Impossible to read.. Masha: yes, it was impossible to read... even new subscribers, who was watching videos with her just since one week, they were writing comments and e-mails that it’s very hard even for them to read comments...So we didn’t read them, we simply couldn’t. Sasha: We tried...We cried for a couple of days...We couldn’t continue this way...We tried to think or focus on something else, and as soon as we were turning on our computer comments hit us again... I think after reading those comments even most hard hearted person would get emotional. Masha: It is well knows that women are more emotional by nature...but even men of all ages were writing in comments they are in tears. I think you will understand us. Sasha: thank you very much for your support. 26:30 Q Sasha, have you thought of having tattoo with cougar? Sasha: I was thinking about it. Masha: We were talking about it in details during one of our live streams. That it has to be in a totem style. Sasha: The problem is that cougar is a totem animal in only few tribes in Northern America. And it’s difficult to find a right picture of it. I don’t mean a picture made by a modern artist, but correct tribal totem picture. I couldn’t find it yet. I have found such a picture for jaguar, but not for cougar. There is plenty of pictures of totem animals like wolfs, ravens, eagles, but not cougar/puma. 27:28 Comment: I know it’s difficult to talk about but can you tell us a little bit about Ichi Masha: guys, if you know it is difficult to talk about I’ll leave it with no comments Sasha: what can we tell about Ichi anymore? 27:48 Masha is reading a comment that says that viewer is sharing their joys during holidays and sadness during difficult times MAsha: You know what is the most amazing thing about you our dearest friends, is that you know how to share with us our joy and you know how to support us in difficult times. You are just like us, on the same wavelength with us, according to words of support that you are sending us. It’s a fact, and it’s very precious for us. Thank you very much for that! Next comment is expressing a wish for all constructions to be over soon in Sasha’s and Masha’s house. Masha: We wish this to happen so badly. We were promised works in the bathroom will be mostly done next week. It would be wonderful! Finally we will have a washing machine and toilet on the ground floor and the most important a shower. 28:50 Masha is reading a joke sent by Kostya: son is coming to a father who is programmer surrounded with all different programs he is working on. Son asks: Dad, why the sun rises in the East and sets in the West? Dad: Is it every day like that? Son: Yes Dad: Just don’t redo anything. MAsha: IT’s just like our case, 100% right about us (giggling), I agree. You know us from the beginning; you know we always have been this way. 29:48 Q why Messi is not allowing you into his house? Masha: no, no, it’s not like that. We built this house for him so he has his own space, his own territory Where he knows that he is secure. So it’s unwritten rule that we don’t go inside that house when he is inside. So even if he did something wrong and we couldn’t catch him on time and he went hiding in the house, that’s it, it’s his space. Sasha: Most important is for him to understand that that was wrong. 30:20 Q Is Messi sly? Masha: Yes, he is very sly. He is aware of many things. Sasha to Messi: Let’s brush you. But you move here, I need you to move, I can’t brush you there. Masha: Girls, our moderators, thank you very much that you came back after such a delay. It’s been 1,5 hours since we first tried to come on line. Girls have joined us. Masha is reading comments of support and best wishes. To be continued in part 3

🍎TRANSLATION. PART3️⃣ 31:45 Q Why it’s not allowed to talk about Ichel? Masha: IT’s not forbidden, it’s just hard for us to talk about it. Only because of that. You can talk of course. Sasha: Understand us, We really tried hard, we fought, we believed in success..until the end we tried to cheer up..even after we knew about her diagnoses...We and Darya Kostyk (former owner) collected all tests and examinations results and sent them further to other specialists, Darya sent even in other countries where we couldn’t reach ...She also couldn’t believe what’s happening until the end, was hopeful that maybe there are some chances and options to save her. Masha: It’s difficult for us to comprehend all this. Sasha: In front of cancer like in front of God all are equal. Money, best doctors, connections don’t matter and don’t solve anything. It equalizes everything, and you can’t do anything. What else can I say. We spent time on the phone with Darya, we cried together, shared our sorrow. MAsha after reading a comment: don’t worry about a duck, I turned it off. At some point I reminded myself about it and went to turn off. 33:45 Comment: You didn’t have a holiday for a long time. Maybe you should take a holiday for couple of weeks. I worry about you that you might burn out. MAsha: You know, we were thinking should we have a live stream or shouldn’t we, should we post videos or shouldn’t we. But you know, we feel like we are having rest when we are with you, same as you rest with us. 35:00 Comment: Nooo, don’t have a rest, we are always waiting for you! (MAsha is laughing) Masha: Don’t worry Sasha is trying to brush Messi: Lie down, don’t stand up! It’s not handy for me, don’t you understand, I can’t reach other side from here. 35:30 Q How much do you spend on Messi’s food? MAsha: Look, Messi eats 1,5 kg of meat daily, so you can calculate. He eats every day. Sometimes he can refuse to eat by himself. We don’t practice with him a hungry day, but he does it himself from time to time. He might skip morning meal and eat only in the evening instead. But usually he eats every day. Comment: Let him sleep, don’t disturb him. 36:25 Q How Cesar is doing? MAsha: Sasha Volkov came back home, he is with Cesar, everything is good with them. Sasha: We will try to visit them in the coming days. MAsha: We will try but we don’t promise. Maybe we will be able to make some video if we go. 36:50 Masha: We are not going to do anything about enclosure right now. We will leave it as it is. Sasha: We want take other animal as well. MAsha: Yes, we are not ready to take other animal. Sasha: But we will not dismantle an enclosure as well. There were many offers immediately: lion cubs, tiger cubs, caracals, bobcats. But in any case we will not take any animal under our care right now. We will have to think about it very well first. 37:35 Q Do you give Messi any supplements? MAsha: we are giving him only Omega-3, fish oil. It’s beneficial for his fur and it’s good in general. 37:57 Comment from Kostya: I’ll change a subject. Differences in mentality. About zoos in Germany. There have been discussions to feed some zoo animals with other zoo animals, because of lack of financing zoos are experiencing right now. During WW2 in Leningrad (Saint-Petersburg now) under the siedge and hunger residents of the city managed to save 50% of animal collection of Leningrad’s zoo. And predators were given meat. Sasha: I can tell the same story about Valter Zapashniy (member of famous animal trainers dynasty) when during WW2 in a time of a bombing, when circus was in fire they let all walruses and seals go to swim into Moscow river and later on they were catching them back. And they managed to save all animals in the zoo and circus as well. I was reading what he wrote about that time he was saying that when there was a shortage of food for lions and tigers herds of horses were driven from Kazakhstan to feed them. But I understand what Kostya is talking about. It’s like an incident that had happened last year, when kippers in the zoo fed a lion with a giraffe from the same zoo. The point here is not that they made a meal out of giraffe, all zoos are doing that when they expect they an animal will dye soon they choose to feed other animals with it’s meat, because giraffe it’s a 500-600 kg of meat. So zoos are often practice this and they don’t do it randomly, but only with animals that have serious health issues, so they feed predators with this meet. But it’s not their goal to raise there a giraffe for feeding predators. There are plenty of farms that provide meat to the market. Scandal wasn’t about giraffe itself but about the fact that they did it openly during a day time in front of the crowds who were visiting the zoo, in front of children. And they let a lion to kill a giraffe. So the question was raised about the way they did it. But those who work in the zoo replied: There is nothing surprising in a fact that a predator eats his herbivore pray. And visitors said that we understand that, but did you really had to do it this way in front of people? Masha is reading more comment of love and support Sasha: I have to brush his belly. MAsha: You will turn him upside down and we want see you. Sasha: We will do it quickly. How can we leave him not combed on other side, one side only is combed. Girls will love him only from one side then. We have to fix it. 42:22 Comment: Ichel will be back, you will see, but in other shape. MAsha: Who knows, if she liked to be with us she will come back. Sasha: We will give ourselves a couple of months and then we will see. Enclosure is there ready. 42:48 Q Is Messi often being naughty? Film it more often please MAsha: He doesn’t do anything naughty that we can film. This was an incident that we were lucky to be able to catch it on camera that was in the house. 43:20 Q Can you tell us funny story with Messi Masha: We had such story just recently with Sasha’s sweter. Other then that...I reminded my self one. This happened when were living in that small apartment. We had a bowl that was on the top of the washing machine where we collected our cloths for washing. Messi never paid attention to it. And we were happy we can put our things there and he doesn’t pay attention. So one day we put there all our thermo protective cloth, it was during winter time and we came back from skating. We had to go somewhere and when we came back this bawl was on the floor with all clothes also on the floor and he made holes in all our clothes...socks didn’t have heels part anymore...he destroyed all he found in that bowl. Since then we don’t collect our clothes in a bowls. 44:30 Comment from Kostya: I meant something else about zoos. There is no money in zoos because of quarantine. They get their finances mainly from selling tickets and now there is no visitors to buy tickets. And no money in cities budgets to support zoos. Sasha: I get it now. But that’s means they are left with no other options. Zoos are partly financed from municipal budget and partly by selling tickets. And now municipalities have no money as well. In situation under quarantine many small businesses are dying, and local municipal budgets are empty as well. You can’t feed herbivore animal with a predator, but you can feed predator with a herbivore animal. And in such situation when they are trying to save at least some animals - this is what they can do. But it’s also strange that it takes place in Europe and it’s always advocating for treating animals well and talking about animals rights and protection. Then why in a difficult time as these they don’t support their words with deeds. 46:09 Answering to a question about how to protect a cat from fleas. MAsha said they are putting collar on Messi against fleas, and they are using Fronline spray. Sasha is showing on camera Frontline spraying liquid: It’s not cheap but it’s worth it. It’s not toxic and it’s safe. It protects from fleas and ticks. When we were choosing we checked and found out that it’s 2nd top protection worldwide in term of effectiveness and popularity. Masha: It can be used for kittens from 3rd day of their life. Sasha: Yes, I was about to say..it can be used for 3 days old kittens and that’s shows that it’s not toxic. We are buying for dogs, we just save a little bit of money, because for cats bottle is smaller. You have to use it once a month. The effect stays for one month. Instruction says you should it with having you windows open or outside. I didn’t pay attention to that when I fist used it and that was my fault. It has a alcohol in it and cat’s don’t like a smell of alcohol. So it’s better to use it outside. If you are going to use it against ticks first of all you should use it in front area around a chest and armpits and in the back area around a tail and between legs and armpits there. Ticks like those places. You don’t have to use it on a whole body, it is rare for ticks to climb to cat’s back. Q Can a human use Frontline on himself. Sasha: You can, no problems, but it will a bit costly. MAsha: Sasha is actually using it on himself. Sasha: But then I have bought a spray for human, because bottles for animals are small and it’s too expensive to use it on yourself. But if you have a small kids and you worry about them and you have enough money to spend on Frontline - yes, why not, you can use it. To be continued in part 4

🍎TRANSLATION. PART4️⃣➖1️⃣ 50:00 Comment: Adopt lion cub Simba. MAsha: I think they mean that one Volodya told us about, a cub with broken legs. Sasha: Most probably they are talking about that one. Guys, we are not thinking right now about having another animal. We just lost our friend. And to substitute quickly with other animal - no, no. It’s not a car that you can change or substitute. It’s not that easy. You don’t just live with an animal, you have to love it and treat it with love. And I can’t do it right now. Not now. Some time should pass. It’s not a first pet that we lost in our life. They all are...there is a saying: “For them we are all their lives, for us they are part of our lives.” It’s not the first animal we lost in our life, but it’s always hard, it’s always with tears, you are losing somebody dear and close... and to go and bring some other animal just to fill an empty enclosure or just because you anyway paying electricity bills for heating an enclosure - no, no! We don’t know yet what are we going to do and what turn our destiny will take...Maybe something will happen again by chance, same as it happened with Messi or Ichel. It was our destiny. Maybe the same will happen with some other animal. Or maybe we go nuts and sell our apartment and buy a small cheetah kitten and raise it for the first time from a cub, at least one animal. Who knows. We don’t feel like thinking about that right now. Therefore our thoughts are chaotic right now. When we will be able again to think clearly again we will think about it. 52:22 Comment from Nastya (their friend): I was waiting and waiting and finally missed the beginning. Hello my dear! Is that Sasha was singing all night long and lost his voice? Masha: Yeah, sure, yelling in karaoke club....If only so.. Sasha is citing words from a song: “Only I and my cat are walking through the field...” (My comment: Sasha is paraphrasing a famous Russian song, it’s modern but composed in a folk Russian music style. In the song it says: Only I and my horse are walking through the field...Sasha changed horse to a cat...And I can imagine him walking through the field with Messi...I think mentioning this song was spot on, it might reflect his emotional state, because there is sadness and bitterness in it and at the same time search for light, peace and comfort...this song is touching for every Russian I think, so I will leave a link to it. Translation is far from being perfect, original lyrics are much more poetic, but at least there is English translation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZobQfJiFic6FqMk ) 52:45 MAsha after reading a comment: Sorry, if I didn’t reply to all of you those who sent e-mails. We had a difficult situation, only yesterday I checked some e-mails from you and replied. The whole last month was not easy actually. So I am sorry, I will reply, it’s just I didn’t have neither emotional no physical power to do that. But I will try to reply. 53:15 Comment: I’ve been to a zoo in Dublin. During WW2 they also fed predators with herbivorous in order to save precious rare predator like Amur tiger. Masha: What other option did people have in such situation? Sasha: Herbivorous are breeding frequently and in big numbers - and that is for some reason or purpose. It’s in the essence of nature that certain number of herbivorous animals will be killed and eaten by predators. Even number of herbivorous animals and health of their population are regulated but this fact. Their population has to be regulated, and if there were no limits to it they would quickly breed to huge numbers and fill everything and that will bring to a brink of an ecological catastrophe. On other side their number regulates as well a number of predators. If there is no enough food predators don’t breed. Even street dogs when nobody feed them and they can’t find food they don’t breed, an egg doesn’t develop in this case. So herbivorous animals have to be eaten, this is how the world is functioning. Evolutions is most the most wise thing that nature has, and it puts everything in order how it should be. There was an old story about a landowner, he didn’t like a sound of frogs in his pond, so he ordered to kill all frogs. And when his servants killed all of them they started to suffer from mosquitoes. And as a result his daughter or his wife became ill with illness transmitted by mosquitoes. This is a small example of how breaking a food chain can cause some serious problems. And I don’t want to mention Australia, where this food chain was completely broken. Anyway, 80% of herbivorous animals have to die in their stomachs (pointing at Messi). Like it or not but this is how it has be. Rabbits are breeding in big numbers for some reason: so 80% of them will be eaten and 20% will breed again in big numbers and continue to evolutionate. 56:55 Q What do you think of Antuan dogs? Sasha: I don’t know such dogs. I would support a conversation if I knew something about. Unfortunately I don’t know. 57:18 Comment from Kostya: Where does this idea comes from, to send Simba to Africa (refers to some comments in the chat about Simba), Simba just started to walk somewhat on his broken legs. Even if doctor Dalarkyan will improve his condition it can’t be sent back to wild nature, same as tiger Zhorik with broken jaw, that Keran Dalarkyan was restoring ” Masha: maybe only if in closed sanctuary for animals Sasha: Lion is a social animal...I’m just reflecting on the subject. I don’t mean to criticize or give an advice, they know better themselves what to do in such situation... Pride will not accept ill disabled animal. He is not needed there. Even in sanctuary he will be a parayah most likely. We don’t know for sure how animals will react, sometimes they are more humane than people. But at the same time big chances he will be a parayah and a lion cub that lives separately from his own kind and lives with humans he adopts human behaviour, he will behave more humane than other lions. Experiment might be interesting, but I’m very sceptical about chances of positive result. I agree with Kostya, lion has to live with humans now in enclosure, maybe there will be somebody who can afford keeping him in enclosure. Other then that I don’t know what could be a possible solution, there want be good chances for successful existence. And here I have to say - our enclosure is not suitable. It’s not a small enclosure, but it’s not strong enough for a body that weights 200-250 kg. MAsha: from my side I can say that going inside enclosure with a grown up lion - I doubt about pleasant feelings about that -I’m expressing here my own reflection and feeling. It’s good to be sorry about a lion cub but think when it’s become big, can you imagine how huge he will be... And what if he will have any health issue? And you need to take him to clinic or something like this.. Sasha: I even didn’t think about it...even if you sedate him, how to load 250 kg into the car? What transportation will you have to use? Our car will not be enough for an adult lion. MAsha: There are many small details that tell us we are physically will not be capable to raise a lion, such a big animal. 1:01:13 Q Sasha did Messi learn any new command? Sasha: No, we didn’t teach him. We just continue to repeat with him the ones he already knows. He knows 22 commands working commands. But he is not bored anymore. He becomes older and older, and becomes more lazy. When we go for a walk to cover 3 km distance I have to pull a leash. And when we reach a beach he drops his anchor, I mean he sits down and like saying: Let’s sit, let’s relax, Masha: It’s a beautiful place there and you can enjoy spending time there... 1:01:53 Comment: You are so wonderful, I’m learning from you how to react to indiscretion. Masha: Unfortunately it does happen..and sometimes people don’t mean to be indiscreet...but some they know what they are doing... everything is possible, and it’s possible sometimes to understand them... And of course being a cad is one thing and being indiscreet accidentally is another. Sasha: One is a lack of education another is a lack of conscience. I can tell that long time ago when I was a student around year 2000 I was working in a casino. And believe me, I obtained a lot of life experience there and stress resistance, you can’t imagine to what extend. MAsha was working as a barman when she was a student, so it also taught her a lot about being stress resistant. I think you can add a taxi driver to the list of professions with stress-resistance. We met different people, and we had to learn how to deal with different people, even if it was for a short time, or to learn how not to deal with them, this is also an art. Comment: Sasha, save your voice, take care of it. Sasha: I’m trying. I don’t have pain, but I have a hoarse voice. I think this is a result of nerves. 1:03:40 Q What do you think about Messi’s sounds, is it meowing or a quacking? Masha: As you like. But we see it as a quacking rather than meowing. Quacking like a duck. Sasha: We call him different names, he is Donald Duck and Leps having a cold (Leps is a singer with a manner of kind of yelling high notes) Comment from Kostya: Even Zubkov in a safari park Taygan, who has workers and big cars there when one of his lions had a problem with teeth and infection, they sedated him in savana and did all manipulations removing some teeth there at place. There is a video. Masha: And there is also such a things that sedated animal seems to you heavier than before Sasha: that’s because all musculs are relaxed and it’s more difficult to balance it. I can lift an object that weights 50 kg relatively easy, and it’s easier than lifting Messi whose weight is 45 kg, because it’s a living weight not possible to balance. to be continued in part 4-2

🍎TRANSLATION. PART 4️⃣➖2️⃣ Also I reminded a story about our friends Tanya and Dima with their tigers. They live in the North in Irkutsk. Their tigers are nice and good. She told us a story, and she is bigger than Masha, not a tiny girl at all, so she came home and wanted to clean a floor after tiger, so she brought a bucket with water and put it on the floor. And a tiger wanted some attention and some love from her so it started to push her with his head and she set on that bucket with water. Plastic bucket broke and she landed on the floor with spelt water and tiger was keep expressing his love keep pushing her with his head. She stayed like that for a 30 min sitting on the wet floor until he got enough. She says it was funny and at the same time I was sitting with my bottom wet on a cold floor, and water was everywhere. Good and bad all together...This is how it is when you can’t escape from a 300 kg body that want to let you know how much he loves you and how much he missed you. 1:06:17 Q Did you have time to wash Messi’s beddings? Masha: Yes, we had time, we washed 2 of them. Sasha: they are drying in the garage. I used Kurher to wash them, because a washing machine will be installed only next week. One should get dried today. But good we didn’t place it in his house today, because today He vomited there with grass he ate during the walk, and he didn’t proceed this grass while on the walk, you understand what I mean. Later he had breakfast, then played and run around and then went to his house and there extracted all the grass. Good bedding wasn’t there otherwise we would have to wash it again. 1:07:20 Q If it was other animal, not Messi, would the result be the same in raising an animal? Is it that your patience and his character played major role in success? Sasha: IT’s difficult to say. We don’t have two cases to compare. But I will say that we invested in Messi a huge amount of work, huge. First year we were working with him all the time. I remember those days, I simply just wanted to sleep all the time. I think it remained for two years my wish to sleep. Masha: I remember a time when I wanted him to go and rent a room in a hotel to have some sleep. It was unbearable to watch and see him contantly deprived of sleep. I also didn’t sleep at nights, but it was easier for me. 1:09:27 If you ever go to Moscow can we meet Messi there to hug him? MAsha: it’s difficult to say when we may go, we don’t plan any trips right now. We will see 1:10:04 Q I saw an interview with you on foreign channels, that’s cool, tell me in which countries they know about you? Do you receive new offers to make an interview with you? Masha: According to youtube map there is no country left without our subscriber there, in each country there is at least one subscriber. I saw that even in Africa there is a small country, I forgot it’s name, where there are two of our subscribers.That is cool.And our story is unique. Journalists who came they saw how we interact in normal life, how Messi behaives and his reaction to other people.And they were sincerely surprised and left delighted. And there are new crews who want to meet us. There is a Germany crew, they want to make a documentary about animals like Messi who live with families. But coronavirus had interrupted those plans. So it got postponed. 1:12:05 Q I’m really sorry for Ichel. Did she die naturally or you had to euthanize her? And how her former owner reacted to a news? Idea with buying a new cheetah cub is very good, I’m very sorry for your loss. We are with you! MAsha: Ichel passed away herself. We told you during last live stream that the vet left us an injection in case if animal will be in pain and suffer. We didn’t have to use it. She passed away herself. In the morning I went to her and she drunk some water, then during the day we went with Sasha to check how she is. Sasha: Situation developed rapidly. On Monday she scratched me, she didn’t want to take medicine. On Tuesday she scratched one more time, on Wednesday she scratched me again, also not wanting to take a pill. On Wednsday evening she didn’t greet us. In the morning she ate, we managed to feed her. In the evening she didn’t greet us. We came she only raised her head. We gave her water and tried to give some meat, but she didn’t eat. We stayed with her in the evening talking to her. MAsha: On Thursday morning she a ate a bit of meat. Sasha: Yes. In the evening (on Wednesday)when we were sitting with her we thought maybe it came this moment. But we were hopeful that maybe in the morning she will be better, maybe it’s just an episode, a stroke, and she might be better tomorrow. She wasn’t in pain, guys, but she had difficulty breathing, it looked like pulmonary edema had started, it was hard for her to breath. On Thursday morning Masha went alone there to give her water. I’ll be honest I stayed to wait for Masha to come back and tell me she got up let’s go to feed her, we used to go together to feed her. It became difficult to feed her by one person, she didn’t want to eat, and to give her a portion of 1,2 kg was difficult. And you can’t not to feed her, she was loosing her mass very fast, loosing weight very fast even though we continued to feed her and give water. On Thursday morning Masha came back from her and told she is the same as yesterday evening. We stayed in silence for 2 hours, because each of us understood what does it mean and that now we have to pull ourselves together and go to her. We went to her again around 10:30 a.m., and everything was clear to us, after those two hours, she was very weak. And after 15 min more she passed away in our hands. She left quietly, very quiet. How is former owner? She was also in shock. You may not know the whole the story. Around two years ago she herself lost a half of her cheetah group. Animals got poisoned, in a very cruel way, they were poisoned with antifreeze and this causes animal to suffer a lot, and this suffering continues much longer than a day, and it dies in agony. It was a terrible news for her ( Ichel’s diagnosis), every day we were on the phone with her. As soon as she knew she ask for all tests and examination results. Yes, best vet doctors examined Ichel and we did everything possible. But she (Darya) passed those results further, she knows more specialists and people who works with cheetahs, because she is working with them since long time and has connections with other specialists. She contacted all foreign specialists she knew. But unfortunately all of them said that diagnosis is correct and there is nothing to do about it. What can I say more. It was a shock for everyone. She was crying, we were crying. We cryed together on the phone. She is planning to come to us, to visit Ichel’s grave. When time comes, we will see. You know it’s a cancer, it develops unnoticed. In my family 3 family member passed away from cancer, I know what does it mean. And it’s really hard to diagnose it on time. To be continued in part 5

Part 5 1:04:55 Sasha:” I recall a story about our friends who live in Chita city (it’s far North) Their names are Dmitriy and Tanya and they have tigers. The tigers are very kind and loving, and the story that happened to Tanya is funny. Once she returned home and started to clean after the tiger. Tanya is not a small girl like Masha, however, the tiger was overwhelmed with love to his mommy and wanted to express his love right there and right then. Tanya had a bucked with water in it, and when her tiger started rubbing against her (the love was pouring out of the baby), he knocked her down and Tanya fell. Her butt got into the bucked (thanks Got it was a plastic one), she broke it and water leaked out on the floor. The picture: there’s a puddle of water, Tanya is sitting in that water, the tiger is rubbing his big head against his mommy and loving her. Tanya was sitting on the floor in water for 30 minutes while her 137 lbs baby had an influx of tenderness has gone. Tanya recalled those confusing emotions. It was funny and not at the same time. On one hand, she was touched by that love (kind of Awe😊 emotion), on the other hand, she was sitting a half an hour on the floor in cold water that was everywhere. That was a a situation when a human could not get a huge “baby” off you just because of the the baby was overwhelmed with love to her and wanted to show that love right there and then because he missed his mommy 1:06:28 Masha is reading the comments. One asked whether guys had a chance to wash Messi’s beds. Masha replied that yes, two beds were washed and now are drying in the garage. Sasha washed them with the device he washed his car and Ichel’s cage. The washer and dryer will be delivered next week. Sasha is glad they did not put one of them today because Messi ate grass during his walk with Sasha and did not digest and eliminate it. Upon their return, Messi had his breakfast, then he played, then went to his “apartment” and he vomited it out. So, the excess of the grass all came out him. 1:07:07 Masha is reading the comment she wanted to reply to a few times but did not have a chance yet. The person is asking if the guys got another animal, not Messi, would his/her upbringing be as successful as Messi’s. Is it just a good combination of the guys’ diligence and Messi’s good character? Sasha answered:” Every situation is unique, and we cannot compare two variables simply because another one is missing. From us, we can say that there was an enormous amount of work. During the first year of his life with us, we worked non-stop.” Sasha remembers that time he was sleep-deprived and always wanted to catch up on the sleep. That need was so profound, that even Masha suggested Sasha got a hotel room and slept there. She said that it was unbearable to see Sasha suffering from the sleep deprivation and Masha insisted that her husband got a room at a nearby hotel to sleep over there on the weekend. Masha said that she did not sleep well at that time as well, but it was easier for her to adjust. She also got up at nights when Messi had “nature's calls” or something, however, it was easier for her rather for Sasha. It was a difficult time for both of us. 1:09:11 Masha continues receiving best wishes because of the Orthodox Easter, thanking for donations, reading comments, etc. People ask if the guys are planning to visit Moscow again so they can meet and play with Messi. The guys are not planning any trips soon. Time will tell and they play by ear. People thank the couple for their accountability when care for their present and future animals. Q: There are many videos about your family and Messi in different languages. In what countries do people know about you? A: “According to the map of our subscribers’ geographic locations which YouTuve provides us with, there are no countries where we don’t have subscribers. There is one country in Africa where there are two subscribers. The number is 2, but they are our subscribers.” -said Masha. “Messi’s story is unique and does not have an analogy in the world” continues Masha. “All those reporters who came to take a video about he saw it with their own eye how Messi communicates with us and his reaction to other people. Those encounters were absolutely sincere, and people left delighted. BTW, we’re expecting visitors someday soon as well !” continued Masha. “We continue receiving those proposals and filmmakers from Germany wanted to come to make an episode about Messi for their documentary about wild animals that live in families. Unfortunately, COVID-19 shuffled our plans and it was postponed until uncertain time.” -said Masha. 1:12:07 A subscriber Viktoriya expressed her condolences and asked whether Ichel died naturally or was euthanized? How did the Ichel’s previous owner react to that sad news? Masha answered:” This question was asked many times and…Ichel left us naturally. The doctor left a syringe in case we need to stop her suffering. There was no need to use it. In the morning, Masha gave Ichel water, later they came to check on her…” Sasha took the initiative to share their sad story Masha and continued:” everything happened very quickly if one looks at the situation. On Monday she bit my finger, on Tuesday she scratched me, on Wednesday morning she scratched me again because she didn’t want to take the pills. Later Wednesday Ichel already didn’t greet us as normally she did. She only raised her head toward us when we walked in. We gave her water and tried to feed with meet (with the meds inside), but she could not eat. We spent time with her by sitting and talking to her. On Thursday morning she ate, and we hoped that the Ichel’s worsening condition was nothing but an episode. Unfortunately, she had difficulty to breathe and pulmonary edema began. That day I didn’t go with Masha to Ichel in the morning because I hoped Masha returns by saying hey, let’s go there to feed her because she feels better today. Ichel lost her appetite and it was challenging for us to put about 3lbs of meat in her. But we had to feed her because she was losing her weight quickly. Masha returned form Ichel and confirmed that the condition is the same as on Wednesday evening☹ A couple of hours we spent in silence, we didn’t talk to each other because each of us perfectly understood that we must pull ourselves together and go to Ichel. Around 11:00am we went there and everything was clear for us. During those two hours, we were not there, Ichel simply meltdown. We spend 15 minutes with her and she has gone…quietly (OMG, I’m crying while hearing this…ED).

Поддерживаю каждое ваше слово

Люди разные у меня умер кот которого я растила в подьезе жил домик ему сделала все условия ухаживала как за ребенком Собака ревнивая до ужаса ато завела бы И вечером увидели мертвого на 1этаже незнаю что случилось Я плакала неделю немогла ничего делать патом жизнь вошла в русло Я думаю они выплакали и решили не грузить людей Ичель прожила долгую жизнь и только с ними была счастлива но увы она и есть нехотела в конце 😪Что паделать они все сделали для нее А я плакала от того что не взяла кота в дом хотя у него был свой домик и еда и ласка возле двери моей Ясебя винила пока мне не сказали что он прожил этот год в заботе и любви а многих во дворе машины позбивали полуголодных холодных

Идиоты осуждают. Не видящие дальше собственного носа. Это они то были веселые? Саша сам на себя не похож, аж голос сел. Веселье сквозь силу. Совести нет у людей такое писать.

Во- первых , видимо осуждают те,кто не видит разницы, между радостью и натянутыми улыбками ребят,а во -вторых,этим дуракам надо посмотреть стрим в понедельник, как Саша,взрослый мужик,сквозь слезы,говорил об умирающей Ичи... Какая тут радость, ребята держатся ради нас,зная,что мы все очень переживаем за них и за кошечек...

Ольга Макарова да,читаешь некоторые коммен.и создается впечатление,что некоторые пишут гадости специально.

Oh Dear i didn't know something had happened to that lovely Ickel. Poor puss she was lovely like Messi is.

RIP ICKEL.

@@jeanhiles7734 We all are so sad about Ichel's passing:( Our hearts are broken. I dreamed of seeing Ichel living with Messi and Kira playing watermelon soccer/football Can you imagine Sasha and Masha walking a cheetah, a puma and maybe having Kira sitting on Messi or Ichel's back. That is gone though.

Amen!

wildstar 1063. good point. When my mother came her from Russia, she learned to speak English out of respect for her adopted country. She said, if you live in America, you speak English. I agree, maybe to broaden one' s horizons, learn Russian.

Just in case somebody will come to read : there is a translation of the live stream pinned under the video (check first comment). And by the way, every video that doesn’t have subtitles has a pinned translation. Translation usually appears few hours later after video is released or stream uploaded. So you have to check it a bit later but always as a pinned comment under the video.

Yes! Thank you for saying this. It is so embarrassing to see people complaining that they aren't speaking English! I don't understand the entitlement of so many of my fellow Americans in that they think the world should cater to them. I travel internationally often and I always try to learn at least a few words in the language of the country I'm visiting as a symbol of respect. Please don't judge all Americans by the way some are behaving in these comments.

From another English-only speaker in Oklahoma - Excellent point. In college I worked in the Russian Earth Science repository library at Univ of OK. Folks were always surprised and indignant when they found the publications were in Russian.

💯!!!

Наталья с собаками так же. как только хозяева за дверь они сразу места себе не находят, да в окно посматривают

Стримы днём, а днём хищники спят, они сумеречные охотники, вот Масян и активизировался. Ну и волновался: куда ушли, да ещё с едой. Саша рассказывал, что Месси чувствует когда на работу уходят, а когда ,,внепланово,,. Реакция разная

@@BlueSkye526 Hi, turns out that whilst looking to fix Itchels eyes, they found she had cancer in all the important places, try to find the last vid of her that spans 3 months, its explained in and amongst the comments. A tragedy ..

@@michaelhodgson9095 thank you. I found the video.

I felt so bad too. I was looking forward to ichel becoming like messi. For them to play together. To be docile n domesticated. To finally feel the love of a pet parent. Then to die so suddenly so abrupt! It breaks my heart. It feels sort of empty. Like sumthing missing in their videos.

@@knittana5484 Какая разница? Это очень больно в любом случае.

@@knittana5484 Это вы пишите страшные слова, если вообще не понимаете, что смерть близкого родного человека или близкого живого существа это очень больно в любом!!! случае.

@@knittana5484, люди писали, что потерю животного своего переживали сильнее, чем потерю близких. Верю им. Знаю сама. Но это не значит, что любили они меньше близких, чем животного. Так бывает. И зависит от многих обстоятельств.

@@knittana5484,, когда умирает твои любимый питомец тоже очень тяжело, это тоже твой член семьи, когда слезы льются. Не поймёт тот, у кого животное ушло на радугу. А когда они болеют, то мы места себе не находим, лечим, выхаживаем, не спим ночами, самое главное чтобы они были здоровы.

Привет из Одессы

@Tatjana * Я родилась в год крысы и за мою жизнь этот год ничем не отличался ото всех других годов. И пандемия здесь вообще ни при чем. Случилось то, что случилось. А личные трагедии у людей случаются ежедневно в о все времена.

Это единственная верная мысль. Малыша Месси не будет трогать и быстро к нему привыкнет. Все видели как он волновался и ревновал к Ичель, как переживал, что любовь не только для него.

@@lisales4092 а может он за Сашу переживал, что чужой хищник угрожает... А может чувствовал, что Ичи болеет, говорят некоторые домашние кошки умеют

@@user-zo2zh9ts1j для него Ичи была конкурентом, о ней он ни как не переживал

Думаю,Мэська переживал за Сашу уже,ситуация была уже тревожная последние недели 2,наверно,просто ребята не транслировали весь ужас…

Маргарита Понкратова А Месьеу в няньки пусть воспитывает ....

Мы так же как и вы были шокированы произошедшим. Такого поворота никто не ожидал. Ей не помогало лечение в течении двух недель, ей не становилось лучше, у нее появился кашель. Было решено снова делать наркоз и делать узи. Когда сделали узи и ужаснулись от состояния селезенки, врач попросила сделать еще и рентген. И его результаты добили окончательно..Легкие и все внутренние органы в метастазах, это была финишная прямая..Но мы не ожидали что она будет такая короткая. мы думали есть хотябы несколько месяцев и вдруг произойдет чудо. А была всего почти неделя..
