"For more than a week, an Indian doctor in war-torn Ukraine has been holed up
in a basement at home with his pet big cats - a black panther and a jaguar.
Girikumar Patil, who bought the two cats from the Kyiv zoo, says he will not
leave home without his pets. He has lived for over six years in Severodonetsk,
a small town located in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.
After the war began, Mr Giri, who is single, has been stepping out of his
cramped basement only to buy food for his cats - the male jaguar is 20 months
old and the female panther is a six-month-old cub - after the curfew ends early
in the morning. (The jaguar is a rare hybrid between a male leopard and a
female jaguar, he said.)"
