Topic of discussion in one serious political club on Yandex:

"A day ago, a cat left President Yushchenko. This happens with cats for a few days.
The president promptly announced to the whole country about this case and that now his children are crying for the cat. Then he found an elegant solution: he asked to give him the same cat, and he will tell the children that it is the same. Just don’t tell anyone, asked Victor Andreevich for the whole country.
Today he was given a cat and the President will lie to his children tonight.
But what to do when the first cat comes back? Declaring him self-proclaimed?
Admitting children to lying? Do you pretend there were always two cats?
