DogDaz Zoo from Jerusalem: The City of Cats
Meet Shoshannah. She is the little feral kitty that Peanut adopted at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel, where she attends school. Shoshannah is about 6 months old and lives in the yard outside Peanut’s building along with tons of other cats. The students are told to not feed or interact with the cats, but how can you leave them alone when they crawl all over you when studying outside and meow sweetly for attention.
If you have not been to Jerusalem, then you are probably not aware of the massive cat problem that they have. “Cats were not prominent in Israel’s streets until the 1930s, when they were brought in to help eradicate a rat problem, but this decision ultimately caused a “cat infestation” in and of itself. No one knows exactly how many of the street cats live in Israel now, but estimates say about 2 million, according to Meow Mission.”
Everywhere you turn, under every bush, in the buildings, in the streets, there are cats.

It is always amazing how we humans try to solve one problem and just create another. I never knew that Jerusalem was the city of cats. There is a very nice site on Tumblr that has lots of pictures of the Jerusalem City Cats, if you would like to see more.
There are all varieties of cats – long and short hair, calico, tortoiseshell, gingers… it is sad that there are so many homeless kitties, but at the same time, very neat to see how the people have rallied to try to feed and care for them (at least at Peanut’s school).
Do you know of other cities with cat problems? This is on a scale that I never thought of before.
