This is Tsveti’s pet, a cat named Zayo («Rabbit»). He is well cared for, and Tsveti thinks about him more than her other loved ones. He is very pampered.

According to Tsveti, all cats have their own temperament and understand what they are doing. Her cat helps her by sitting on her legs, which are sick and stiff from diabetes. Its warmth helps her more than even walking around the room. For her, love for both animals and people mean ultimate sacrifice—those we love always come first before us.

You may be wondering where the cat’s name comes from. Tsveti says she named him because he has a slightly rabbit-like snout. Zayo has his vaccinations, passport, and a bad habit of sleeping by the door. The problem is that Tsveti’s door doesn’t close, and anyone can come in and grab him. She often worries about this.

There is a neighbor who is constantly renovating and making noise, which bothers Zayo. This harassment affects him, but the neighbors don’t care. Another neighbor once kicked the door open and started mocking the cat.

According to other people in the group, Tsveti loves pets, just like the Egyptians, who ritually buried them with humans. The cat is fine, sleeping comfortably, curled up, but the state and its citizens are in a bad way. Everyone dreams of being «a cat in Bulgaria, looked after by Tsveti.»

Tsveti was raised from an early age to respect animals, and then a church gave her the task of raising a little kitten. She met Zayo later in her life, and he is now 10 years old.
