Cat City

Fun fact: there are 2 million wild, feral cats in Jerusalem. The cats were brought in the middle of WWI and WWII by the British to control all the rats. But now there are too many cats. There are two reasons that the Jerusalem cats are a problem. First, they eat all the garbage and make a big mess. Second, when you are trying to sleep at night, they yowl and keep you up. But, it's fun to look at all of them on the street. They are either in a garbage can, walking down the street, or just sitting on a wall looking at you. Last week, we were watching a marathon and there was a cat sitting on the sideline watching too. Even though the cats are a problem for the city, I'm glad they are here!!
