Moscow’s Mysterious Cat Job Hunt
Picture a tiny town on the edge of the Kaliningrad region that’s popped its CV in the job market with a headline that read: “We’re Hiring: Cat Chief – 7 0 ‘Feline Allies”. Sounds like a flash‑back to a sci‑fi sitcom, right? But it’s real.
Why the People (and the Cats) Are Excited
- The Quest for the Royal Feline Overlord – The locals want someone to keep their 70 wandering whisker‑butts happy and ready.
- Rebranding Debut – Zelenogradsk decided that a giant cat statue and a feline on its seal were the next big thing after coffee shops and meme‑worthy street art.
- Applicant Avalanche – A whopping 80 candidates rolled in, from seasoned vets to the cat‑obsessed who think “bingo, I’ll be the best” belongs in the council hall.
The Final Pick: Svetlana Logunova
Choose the local lady that no one can ignore: full of compassion, a nap‑lovers, and a proven “pet whisperer.” She gets a bright green jacket, black bow tie, and a helmet that feels more like a runway outfit than a uniform.
Gear Check
- Cycle – A trusty bike that’s got a basket big enough for cat cuddles (and maybe some extra snacks).
- Salary – 5,700 roubles per month (that’s about $118), a modest stipend that covers food, playful strokes, and the occasional “free wheeling” ride for our furry friends.
Her Words
“I’ve got 70 strays, but my arm is only one person deep. A helping hand would be a game changer,” she told the local press, half-mocking it feels like an episode of Cat Café—but it’s all too real for this town’s paws‑and‑tails existence.
So, while Russia’s largest cat‑loving community was launching its paw‑mini‑brand, Minsk’s lawmakers seemed to have given a hint: even the smallest towns can have the biggest hearts for the four‑legged citizens. The grand finale? A cat-filled, bike‑powered, green‑jacket‑celebrated town that’s probably going to win a few categories in the “Most Whisker‑Friendly Municipality” awards.
