The New Year's Adventures of the Cat.

For some reason it is believed that the most suitable name for a cat is Vaska. I do not know. Among the cats I know only one. And that not entirely. Not exactly a cat. But formally yes. And so – no.

There was a New Year's event with Vasks in one office. Whether gas drivers, or oil producers, or maybe even gold miners. Two young men from the office were returning from a six-month long journey. Before the New Year. It looks like the movie geologists, if you look above the collar. Beards, mouths airy with northern thinning. You know the north, right? Unlike the South, only oil is washed if rubbed with sand.

The costumes were dotted with cravates. And it must be said that working in the fresh air exclusively contributes to the development of the muscle frame. Dresses with T-shirts on the shoulders. Why in the figures is indiscriminacy and fear. So that the clothes do not break up in joy. In the airplane, a liter of CO was eaten to the bottom - that an elephant was crushed. But there is smell. and cognac.

They came back before the new year. Right in Domodedovo, in the old yet, and maybe Sheremetyevo is also not new. The drivers had to meet them. Slots anyway. But they forgot to call in a hurry, or if there was anything else in the dispatch. did not meet. We hired a taxi. One sat in front, the other, clearly from behind. There was a passenger in the car. A boy in the corner.

- Son what, - the driver asks, who is in front of the castle, - took a ride with him?

No, the driver is not my son. The boy was at the airport. Third day in turn. They tried to surrender to the militia, one time escaped, the second little that escaped and bitten everyone there and scratched. He says nothing about himself, fleeing, looking out of the shelter. His name is Vasco.

Both of the passengers, Vaskoy. As a cat.

“You are the shit cats,” the boy reacted, “and I am Vasily.

These beards are even stronger.

- Don't be offended, boy, go with us, we will introduce you to this Cat. We are now in the office for a party, we have a tree there, the artists with Cobson, the Cat is there too. You will like each other. What if the boss takes you back to the airport?

and took. Meet the cat. The cat is not a real cat. And the entire director. And what they call him like the Cat Vasco is just friends. This is Vasily Ivanovich Cat. Vaska Cat liked, he took the boy home, to meet the new year. Cat one, Vaska one, two more fun to celebrate the new year. Almost thirty years ago.

Now one of the worries is not what it would be in retirement, what a pension at sixty-five - a man in full blossom of strength, a hundred-fifty lying bump. But on a trip, a cat moves in his place. Vasily Vasilyevich Cat, son of the Cat. A graduate of some prestigious institute, whether in oil, gas, or diamonds in general. No, I know exactly which one. I know the real name, but I don’t know. Everything happens on Christmas and New Year, if you believe it. If you don’t believe it, even more. But less often.
