Persian cat survives 60 days alone on 7th floor of bombed building

NEWS AND VIEWS - I ALWAYS COMMENT AS THERE IS NOT POINT JUST RECITING THE NEWS: The video says it all but I can add a bit more. The rescuers did not know that they rescued an elderly, ginger, flat-faced Persian cat! These cats are not known for their hardy constitution. But I guess all domestic cats are great survivors hence they have nine lives.

Rescue from the 7th floor by the firefighters.

Remarkably this Persian cat survived 60 days stuck on a small ledge 7 floors up of this destroyed building; bombed to smithereens by Putin. The question is how did the cat survive as apparently there was no water or food up there. Perhaps there was. I think that there must have been because I can't see a cat surviving that long without any sustenance. I think the cat was able to move around on the 7th floor to find some scraps.

A beautiful aspect of the story is that despite the fact that thousands of Ukrainian civilians are being murdered by Putin in drone and shelling strikes, the fire and rescue service (ZooPatrol) took the time and effort to save the life of this cat and the reason is that they treat all lives the same whether they are humans or animals.

 

How about that! That's the kind of thing I love to hear. An equality between animals and humans is the Holy Grail for animal advocates and we see it here in this remarkable cat rescue.

I hope this embedded video works okay. Sometimes they stop working.

Here are some more pictures from the video.

All cats are great survivors; purebred or moggie.
