      You can check the description box, I wrote a brief explanation there :) I’ve been talking about this in one of the previous videos - our house isn’t livable yet (it needs more renovations) and we moved out from the one we were renting because our rent agreement was over in March. This is our friend’s apartment that they left for the summer and we’re going to live here while they are absent to take care of their cat and the apartment. So it’s our place only for the summer :)

    Your videos are so lovely. My life couldn't be more different than yours, but it doesn't matter. I can feel your genuineness and joy for life, how much your family members love each other. it's like reading a cozy novel, slices of your life that are so transparent and real, and even when you're tired it feels good, like you're doing everything to live your life the way it's right for you. Thanks so much for sharing it!
    Small piece of information, Jackson Galaxy is a cat expert and he has tons of videos with tips for cats being introduced to each other, or anything cat related for that matter, his channel is super informative and has helped me tons with mine!

    The best way to introduce cats to each other is to keep them in separate rooms and have a closed door between them for a few days. They can check each other out by smelling and looking under the door and get used to each other.

    When we got a new 4 week old kitty, our 3 yr old cat was having none of it and she hissed and howled at the new kitty for 4 days. On day 5, they were both curled by side by side on our bed after we got home from work, taking a nap and they were best buds ever since.

    Nice video, Vika. So sweet to watch little Agatha, helping her mama put things away in the cabinet. Had to laugh though when Agatha, climbed up into the cabinet! So funny 😂. Your girls are both so sweet and resemble one another. Adalaine, (spelling? sorry) sure gets around fast on the floor. Big sister, Agatha, is a help to mama and her sister. By the way, looks like a very nice, comfortable apartment. Happy to hear cats are adjusting well. Oh my, a male and female cat….might there be kittens later on? Nice to see Tolya, is home with you. Did he graduate recently? What type of job is he interested in now that he has completed his studies? You’ve got so many things going on all at once. Because you’re a very busy wife and young mother, please remember to take time out for yourself. I enjoy watching your videos as the content and editing is very well done! I am a 74 yr. old widow in USA and enjoy watching, clean, fun, everyday happenings. Watching young children engaging in life brings me happiness as I think back to when my children were that young. Ty for sharing Tolya, & Vika. Take care and God bless everyone. Sending hugs to all. Your video friend, CarrieJo/North Carolina, USA 😊❤

Then I moved to a farm and got two new ones, and my old cat keeps chasing my new ones away. She refuses to accept them, even though it's been almost a year. I think she thinks the whole place is her territory, and no one new is allowed. Luckily there's plenty of room for everyone. lol.

    Vikki, you are doing so much more than I would if I were only moving in for three months! You are such a great homemaker!! Hope you all enjoy your summer in the different apartment.

    I have always admired your minimalism. You don't NEED a tablecloth, just continue the towel! It works and we didn't even notice.

    It’s so satisfying watching you unpack and arrange stuff, I want to watch more!!! 😂 Good luck and hope you will enjoy your stay here for the next 3 months. ❤ Looking forward to the next video! 🤗
