We are told that this performing grey coated moggy cat in Siberia has been painted magenta or pink for three years because a customer thought that the grey coat was too mundane. It is hard to believe that one of the workers actually admits that the cat has been painted with three years but it appears to be what she has said. Even if the paint is so-called “harmless” it is still cruel paint a cat for such a long time. It would be cruel even if the pain was on for one day from obvious reasons and it should be stopped immediately. It is probably is a violation of Russia’s animal welfare laws and animal advocates want the theatre prosecuted under those laws. The theatre’s response is that the paint is harmless and they are not being cruel to animals.
