мир (Mir) means “peace” in Russian. It is the name of the most magnificent and presidential Siberian cat you will ever see.
I believe that Mir was a gift from Russia to Norihisa Satake, the governor of Japan’s Akita prefecture. Mr Satake loves cats and has seven already living with him in his Mansion.
Mir appears to be an exchange gift as Mr Satake had earlier given Mr Putin an Akita Inu puppy named Yume (meaning Dream). The gift to Mr Putin was in recognition of Russian aid to Japan after the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Mr Satake coined the phrase
“We need peace to make dreams come true”.
Very true. It is nice that a glorious Siberian cat named Peace has helped to maintain peace between two nations and that he has made a dream come true for Mr Satake. Neat.
Mir seems to be a silver tabby pedigree Siberian cat bred in Russia. The Russians like their cats and there many cat breeders in the country. You can see that Mir is designed for cold weather.

He really is a handsome fella I can’t help feeling that he looks a bit sad though?
What a beautiful cat. A very nice storey too. Looks more like a tabby point with white as the main colour? Maybe the white is only where the hair is long?
He looks a bit feisty in that shot. Just like mom’s Fluffy always looked. Wow, that’s a lot of fur. A very handsome kitty. I wonder if he understand Japanese?
hes prob thinking wish someone would put me down on the ground. Ive seen that look in my rebel cat geogerous though
I think the photo can be misleading. Depending on the way you see it it can seem that he is grimacing – showing his teeth but he isn’t. Super looking cat.
What a very handsome cat and I love his name and his role in life bringing about real peace
hes a big ball of fluff beautiful how he can bring peace
