The Cat Who Crossed the Border to become Israeli

A lovely story...thanks for sharing it, Anne.

That is such a sweet story! Thankyou for sharing! I'm glad the kitten found a new home

Thats a sweet story with a happy ending for the little kitty
who knows how long he would have been on his own for before help arrived,he certainly knew who to go to. clever kitty.

Pictures like that are so touching,especially in war.

It has brightened my day a little bit more

Alas, if the troops were marching through that village, it means, almost by definition, that the village had been evacuated long time ago... The war means that thousands of dogs and cats have been abandoned, on both sides of the border. There are so many dogs and cats in Israel now, abandoned by owners who had to evacuate their homes in a hurry. I imagine it's the same on the Lebanese side. I'm sure that the previous family would have been relieved to find out that someone had actually taken their wounded kitty. The alternative being leaving him behind to die of hunger, thirst or lack of veterinary care, I think the soldier did the right thing

Yes,


I will say a prayer for ALL the little ones left behind,and hope they will find somebody to care for them very soon.

The animals are always the first to suffer and the last to be saved

I didn't know George Michael had become an Israeli soldier???!!!

It's a very cute picture, this tough, cool looking guy in his greens carrying a little white kitten who looks pretty happy with the whole situation.

Yes, cats have a way of knowing who their friends are and who will help them. What a beautiful story. It's nice to know that good things can come out of terrible situations.
