Cat Cuteness: It IS possible!

Like every good Jerusalemite, or maybe Israeli for that matter, I find the cats that overtake the streets a huge menace. Not only are they annoying on the streets, but at night the scream and cry. And it sounds like a baby crying, we've heard that they have developed that by learning to adapt to their environment to get care- apparently some people find a baby crying sympathy inducing. For us it's really annoying (is Eitan up?) and creepy.

I do feel bad for them in a lot of ways. They were brought here to get rid of the rats, and now they're an even bigger problem. And although they're a huge nuisance, they're living creatures and have nowhere to go and no source of food, and aren't meant to be around. 

Either way, the cats everywhere are a problem. See here and here for more details if you're interested. Lately, there has been a few of them that lurk outside our building in our little garden. Eitan has learned to say "go away cats" if they're there when we approach the door- I certainly don't want one getting into our little lobby area.

But this morning as we left for our daily adventures I saw something so adorable and sweet that it made me bust out my camera and dedicate a few shots to our enemies. Really, is this so cute? Or what? If you don't think so, you should head to a doctor, because really, you might be missing a heart.

And since I know I'm not allowed to post anything without a picture of the reason anyone comes to this blog...here goes. Eitan's latest foray into head wear.
