- "I know that people are waiting for the moment, if I write something wrong, to just attack me like this.
- "Like, 'you do this, you do that'. She [Barsik] was misbehaving and I just pulled the ear and that's it.
- "I love my cat more than you. If I didn't love the cat, I wouldn't have it at home. My most lovely animal is a cat.
- "And when she disobeyed, I scolded her a little. And you are attacking me for nothing."
