LET’S FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO THE CATS’ HOUSE
![Page 4: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
On the staircase leading to the Cats’ House we are welcomed by the hostess – pussy-cat Ryzhulya,
accompanied by her Brother Cutie and Auntie-Motty who are holding counsel getting ready to meet us. Today is Mother Ryzhulya’s birthday
![Page 5: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We are getting closer to the birthday-girl to introduce ourselves.
Beautiful Ryzhulya gives us a piecing look. She looks like an alien from the feline planet in the Sirius constellation, doesn’t she?
![Page 6: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Upon giving us a piercing look, she reverts her eyes
and becomes thoughtful
![Page 7: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Krasavchik (Cutie), the head of the feline family, comes to meet us
![Page 8: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
He readily turns his head to face the camera
![Page 9: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Kitten Leo (Leopard) is on duty at the cats’ house entrance today. He isn’t really fond of being on duty. He is a fidget and enjoys running and jumping, so he is so sad now
![Page 10: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Leo gives us a close look with his green eyes
![Page 11: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
He jumps onto a stone to examine us better
![Page 12: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Leo keeps an intent look on us.
He looks as alien as his mother Ryzhulya
![Page 13: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Leo moves towards his Mum to ask her for advice:
how to behave in the guests’
![Page 14: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Father Cutie sprawls on the stairs, letting everyone see how handsome he is.
He is not so busy as Ryzhulya. He is the head of the family
![Page 15: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Father Cutie gives us a wise and evaluating look.
![Page 16: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cutie and his daughter are as like as two peas
in their appearance and behaviour
![Page 17: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Everyone in the Cats’ House sitting-room looks forward to
a festive dinner
![Page 18: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So when are we welcomed to the festive dinner?
![Page 19: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Waiting for the dinner Father Cutie has nearly bitten his tongue off. His daughter Krasulya is more patient, being still unaware – unlike her father – of the forthcoming dinner
![Page 20: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Before inviting everybody to partake in the festive dinner,
Mother Ryzhulya carefully examines the roundabouts of the Cats’ House
![Page 21: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
She has to change her position to keep an eye on all the movements of those who disturb the silence near the Cats’ House
![Page 22: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
At last Mother Ryzhulya, being the hostess, leads her kids –
Leo and Krasulya – into the Cats’ House
![Page 23: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
So the whole family gathers at the festive table in their sitting-room.
![Page 24: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When we are congratulating Mother Ryzhulya, Leo is all ears listening to our story about his mother whom we have known for three years already. And he has known her for only five months.
![Page 25: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The whole family – Mother Ryzhulya, Father Cutie and their kids Leo and Krasulya – are having a friendly meal (Black Sea sprats and gobies).
![Page 26: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Father Cutie and his daughter Krasulya are enjoying their meal most of all. They always have a good appetite – not only for fish
![Page 27: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
A nice Gobus fish has gone to Leo, the kitten
![Page 28: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
And Krasulya, the pussy-cat has got quite a nice fish, too
![Page 29: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Here they are – having a second helping of nice fish…
![Page 30: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Having eaten all the sprats, Ryzhulya and Leo are eating some sausage dainties
![Page 31: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Now it’s time for standing in line for some milk. Mother Ryzhulya makes way for everybody else.
![Page 32: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Leo, the kitten is the first to approach a plate of milk
![Page 33: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Father Cutie and his daughter Krasulya, after a substantial sprats and sausage meal
![Page 34: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Leo is hiding behind his mother’s back: who is to blame for the spilt milk?
![Page 35: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
All Ryzhulya’s family is satisfied with the festive dinner.
![Page 36: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
After the dinner Mother Ryzhulya starts washing her face, and Leo, the kitten is looking for his sister Krasulya in order to go for a walk in the pine grove. Father Cutie keeps an eye on his son’s movements.
![Page 37: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Mother Ryzhulya is day-dreaming of having daily dinners consisting of Black Sea sprats sausage dainties, soft-boiled eggs and milk
![Page 38: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Mother Ryzhulya has made up her mind to see us off.
![Page 39: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Father Cutie and Leo, the kitten are also unwilling to part with us.
![Page 40: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Ryzhulya can run very fast, so she has to wait for us quite often.
She jumps from one tree onto another while waiting for us.
![Page 41: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Ryzhulya shows us where we can cross the stream running through the pine grove
![Page 42: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
While waiting for us Ryzhulya manages to warn a black little kitten not to cross our way.
![Page 43: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
On the stairway Ryzhulya leaves us behind and takes the lead. She likes being the first
![Page 44: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
She hears dogs’ barking. She knows that she is safe when we are close to her
![Page 45: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Mother Ryzulya and Auntie Motty are seeing the guests off.
![Page 46: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
At parting Mother Ryzhulya gives us a keen look, as if asking: “Is it possible to make Birthday parties for Leo and Krasulya?
![Page 47: MOUNTAINOUS CATS](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042508/559cd55a1a28abf2538b45c2/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
That was a story about a single day in the life of the mountainous cats – Mother Ryzhulya’s Birthday. Unfortunately, not all days are so pleasant and happy for the mountainous cats. Their life is full of danger and difficulties. Seeing the mountainous cats, dogs rush at them, so the former have to climb trees and hang on
them making use of their claws, until dogs are tired of barking at them.That’s why the mountainous cats are always on the alert – all ears and eyes around the Cats’ House.
Sometimes they are disturbed even during their meals. Ryzhulya is especially cautious – she has to take care not only of herself, but also of her kids.
Unfortunately, people also harm them – young guys sometimes throw a stick or stone at them for fun. Therefore, they have to be afraid of people, and in no case allow you to touch them. For example, we have not been able to pat Mother Ryzhulya on the head for three years. In winter, when it's cold and snowy, the mountainous cats suffer from especially great difficulties. In 2012, winter was warm in the Crimea, but in 2011, it was very cold, snow covered the ground for one month and a half. During cold weather kind-hearted people put insulated boxes for them, bring them food and water, communicate with them, trying to support them in this difficult time.
Mother Ryzhulya is a special mountainous cat. And it would not be quite right to call her a “cat”, but rather an alien from the planet Sirius, known as the planet of cats. She is very intelligent , modest and a very caring mother.
And what is more, she is charming, 5-coloured and green-eyed.When her dear children were 3 months old, she did not abandon them as cats usually do, but stayed with
them, creating a family, just as humans do.If she is eating something and a kitten comes close to her, she will always give him his food. She will
never eat alone, even if she is very hungry, but would invite us to the Cats’ House to feed the whole family – she will go ahead, look back at us, wait for us and lead towards her house. And as we approach the Cats’ House, the kittens will meet us popping up and poking their noses into Mother Ryzhulya’s nose. And after dinner the kids come up to her and let her lick their mouths and cheeks.

We hope that this short story can help children develop kind attitude towards the Wild Nature.Have you shown kindness towards the Wild Nature?
What about making a Birthday party for some homeless animals?THANK YOU!
