Timofey, the fluffy mascot of the Moscow Zoo, is preparing for summer by shedding 2 kg, according to the zoo’s press service
Staff members have noted that Timofey has become more energetic since losing the weight. Currently weighing 4.8 kg, the manul cat (also known as Pallas’s cat) recently weighed 7 kg.
Timofey goes for a walk every day, usually in the evening around 5 p.m. There have also been changes to Timofey’s diet. Previously, the zoo staff increased his portions during weight gain, but now they are gradually reducing them. However, Timofey doesn’t hold a grudge; a decrease in appetite during spring is a natural process for him.
