Yes, it's a diminutive of Fenko I think. Fenya is another diminutive. (Russian speakers, have I got this right?)

I think cat's name is fenya not fenko

I think -enka, -enko, -enya are all diminutive suffixes in Russian, but I'm not sure...maybe the Russian speakers can teach us this little bit about their beautiful language

-ka is indeed diminutive suffix. Cat's name is Fenya and diminutives can be fen'ka, fenusya, fenechka.

that's correct.

(Marat having been in New York?)

He assumed that Marat is flying to New York.

PS: Please read the above in a humorous key, as I personally belive that he indeed may run on behalf of the Tatar community without necessarily claiming total adhesion to the religious belifs of this community.

The whole thing is indeed kind of hilarious but I'm not surprised at all.
