| Jerusalem alley cat |
Jerusalem - A city with phenomena at their door step. Hundreds of cats either missing or found cleanly sliced in half. For years the problem of clusters of cat disappearances has taken over the globe, now the phenomena is happening in Israel.
Usually there is a huge number of cats roaming Israel’s streets. No matter where you are in the country you will see masses of cats out and about. There seems to be hundreds of them, in fact, one estimate says that there are currently around two million cats in Israel. There are numerous laws in Judaism prohibiting cruelty to animals and this has spread to the wider culture. As a result, people are generally very tolerant of the street cats and treat them kindly. It is not a strange thing to learn that a nation having the highest vegan population cares so much for the stray cats.
Cats are a frequent sight on Israeli streets, particularly in Jerusalem. However, residents have been taking to social media lately to express concern over the recent disappearance of numbers of cats in certain areas of Jerusalem, particularly Nahlaot and Arnona, and are warning people not to let their pet cats go outside, even if they have collars.
A disturbing photo was also circulating on Facebook of a cat dissected in half, which people were claiming was more likely to be the work of a person than an animal as the attack was too “clean.” The half-cat phenomenon is not new. Chris Holly first alerted the world to this and continued to keep us updated.
The spokesmen for the Jerusalem Municipality Veterinary Service stated that the Veterinary Service was not aware of a mass disappearance of cats throughout the city, but that there are suspicions that such a phenomenon is occurring.
The shelter manager for the Jerusalem Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, stated that a fellow rescuer told her that some 50 cats had disappeared in the past year in her neighborhood.
An active rescuer and cat lover, said, "Several people are reporting that cats are completely gone from certain areas of Jerusalem".
How does a city that revere cats insidiously lose them? How do a few murderous cat killers silently make a city of cats vanish? There is more at work here. Something dark and insidious..
