Achilles the cat ready to start predicting WC-2018 results

Description

A deaf, white cat named Achilles is soon to begin his work as Russia's official soothsayer for the World Cup, following the example of Paul the Octopus who became a star in 2010. Paul predicted winners for that years' World Cup by choosing one out of two boxes containing food, while Achilles will be presented with bowls marked with teams' flags.
