A Luxor cat finds his own home

Tweet

When we were in Luxor, Egypt several decades ago, we visited the veterinary hospital there, which is run by the British charity, Animal Care in Egypt (ACE). Animals in Luxor mostly have a terrible life and my heart bled for the pitifully poor horses and donkeys that were beasts of burden there. Slowly the vets at ACE are educating the locals in better management of their animals. They give out free padded nosebands and advise on better ways to harness and manage the equines which are sometimes expected to pull very heavy loads. The residents there are very fond of their pet cats and dogs and ACE does free sterilisation operations for pets. I loved today’s FB entry and I’ll quote it parts of it: This neglected and injured male cat was found by a foreign resident living in Luxor. ... The poor cat had a nasty wound on his right front leg. Despite his ordeal the cat is a friendly chap and has decided that the lady who found him will now be his person. He has moved in with her. Isn’t that just a beautiful way of explaining the situation? The photo is mine of my sister's kitten which is now well and truly a very mature cat.
