Ruslan Senichkin, host of 1+1 Breakfast on 1+1 Ukraine, cook and Lyudmyla Barbir ‘s TV partner, showed an archive photo with his red-headed pet cat Stepan. In the photo caption, Ruslan shared his thoughts on random (or not so random) coincidences of fate.

Senichkin and Barbir

“I don’t know how it works in the matrix of the universe. In the mid-90s, I had a red cat in Dnipro. I found it when it was a baby (3 months old) and named it Stepan. I have never told anyone about this story until now. So I decided to. 2 years ago, when Stepan the Kharkiv cat became famous all over the world (Britney Spears is a big fan), and “Breakfast with 1+1″ told us about it, we decided to go on air with him directly. Producer Yulia Zhmakina offered to become the voice of Stepan from Kharkiv’s Saltovka in Snidanok. Since then, fate has brought me together several times. I went on thinking about what it was…”Ruslan Senichkin wrote under the photo.

Kharkiv’s Stepan the Cat has become popular thanks to his funny photos and videos on social media. Stepan became really popular when his account was noticed by the famous pop singer Britney Spears and posted a photo of the cat on her Instagram. By the way, recently Stepan from Kharkiv returned from evacuation to his native Kharkiv and married his girlfriend Stefania.

The pages are written on behalf of Stepan by his owner Anna, who picked him up as a one-month-old kitten near the market. The story of the blogger cat is similar to the story of the red one Ruslan Senichkin picked up in his youth. The host’s post provoked a strong reaction from social media users:

“Coincidences are not accidental! Wait for the continuation of the story”; “Incredible voice acting of the cat! Ruslan, you are great! I am happy to follow the cat-Ukrainian-French family!”; “It’s simple. You just need to get a cat, the universe is screaming about it.”; “Thank you for the positive!”; “We recognized you right away!”; “Stepan is very cute and charismatic with your voice.”

Breakfast with 1+1 regularly helps stray cats and dogs find homes. Watch the project every day from 7:00 to 11:00 on 1+1 Ukraine TV channel and on YouTube.
