- And also, contractors must feed their calls, - suddenly the cat, almost dozing under the caress, - milk, sour cream, cottage cheese, chicken, fish, cheese, - she mumbled under her nose, noisily swallowing saliva and licking her face.

- Really? Really? Promise? - Nyala jumped up and stood on her hind legs, her front legs resting on my chest to look at my face.
- I promise," I laughed, scratching under the kitty's chin.
- All right then," she settled on my arm and started twirling her head around, "what's interesting here?
- I'm afraid that the training ground doesn't correspond to your ideas about interesting things, - I patted the tiger cub's head, - moreover, the day is ending and soon it will be night, when children should sleep.
