On my way home I always meet The Cat. He has no leg. He’s ginger and lies stretched on the footpath. He needs to be caressed — it’s obvious to everyone. Sometimes there’s even a queue to pet him. Yesterday he was sitting there and sadly looking at the door. As it was cold, I rang the doorbell. The door opened to reveal a tired unshaven man.

— "He’s not from here. He lives around the corner", the man stated in an automatic manner.
I had to say something.
— "He was staring at this door so intently…"
— "Where are you from?", asked the unkept man
— "Russia."

And he told me the story of The Cat. The story is already some three years old. For all this time this door attracts The Cat, and compassionate passers-by ring the doorbell each half an hour. The door was painted a different colour — it did not help. Then they hung a notice on the door stating “The Cat is not from here”. Yet it looked silly, so they changed it for another: “Do not ring the doorbell in case you see The Cat looking at the door”. Scottish people have an amazing sense of humor, and so it started. Notes such as “Haven’t seen The Cat, decided not to ring” and “The Cat was not looking at the door today”, and so on were left atthe door. Later because of the positivism of the Door and The Cat those “who fancy a bit of dope” started to gather here. They caressed The Cat and wondered what attracts it to this door. For Christmas they would dress up like the cat and ring the door asking “Don’t you have a room for rent?”. The police suggested that The Cat be put to sleep... it was taken away... New notes then began to appear at the door: “We’re glad The Cat found a flat”… “And where’s The Doorlooking Cat?”. The man gave in. The Cat returned. I caress him on my way to the theatre. I watch the door. Very attractive.

We often see AKHE guys, drink tea together. We recall old projects – both movies and actions…Lots of things were done together, so it appears. And we decided to mark the old friendship with a huge project in Edinburgh in 2004. To flood the city with pictures, videos, movies, shows, books and photo exhibitions and two new productions with the preliminary names of "The Game" and "The Jew" which we plan to produce together.
