Musia survived: local volunteers rescued a cat thrown off a cliff by a Russian in Crimea (photos, video).

In annexed Crimea, a Russian man threw a cat named Musya off the observation deck of the "Swallow's Nest" castle. Volunteers found her alive in a ravine below the cliff. This was reported by the propaganda channel 78.ru from St. Petersburg.

According to Russian journalists, the press service of "Swallow's Nest" confirmed that the cat survived the fall from the cliff. It is reported that Musya swam out of the water and hid in a ravine on the rocks.

Climbers rescued Musya using special gear and a carrying case. She was handed over to veterinarians. The cat will now undergo examination and recovery.

Rescuers managed to retrieve Musya from a ten-meter ledge on the cliff using climbing equipment and a specialized carrying case. She will be taken to veterinarians for examination and treatment. Volunteers state that they will not return the animal to "Swallow's Nest," but will look for new owners for her.

It is worth noting that Musya lived in the castle for 10 years and was a local celebrity. A 24-year-old tourist from St. Petersburg arrived at the castle on the morning of February 23. Surveillance cameras captured him petting the cat, then picking her up, carrying her to the observation deck, and throwing her off a 40-meter cliff. Initially, the media reported that the cat had died.

The man was detained and taken to the occupational police department in Yalta. Later, Russian media published a video in which the St. Petersburg resident explains his actions. He smiled as he recounted that the cat got underfoot, and when he picked her up, she began to resist and struggle. According to Russian journalists, the man is registered at a psychiatric and neurological dispensary.

It is also worth mentioning that on February 23, the media reported on a cat that "boarded" a train and traveled 28 kilometers to another city on its own.

Additionally, on February 23, a video featuring a cat that became an internet star due to its curiosity was published online.
