In 2012, Kharcheva posted these photographs with a cat and Putin portraits in a personal blog post entitled "Pussy for Putin." Then she sent a formal notice to Putin’s office and posted her phone number on her LiveJournal entry just in case. “Until Vladimir Vladimirovich decides to pick up his [birthday] gift, the kitty will live with me,” she wrote.
