SBS Cats: Sima Tsyskin and Pusya, the Melbourne Keeper

SBS Cats is a collection of stories about unusual cats from the community. Partly entertainment, partly therapy, but mostly — it's a way to learn about the cool cats and their lives.

Journalist and editor Sima Tsyskin adopted Pusya the cat after the death of its previous owner, Nelli Shkolnikova, a world-famous violinist.

Sima also inherited a collection of cat figurines. These were presents from various famous musicians for Nelli Shkolnikova, brought from all over the world.
