This is a nice photograph of a sweet tabby cat in the arms of a woman who rescued her in Oklahoma following the tornadoes which cut a swath of destruction to parts of the center of America including areas in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
It is in fact a screenshot from a video on one of the BBC websites. I like it because there is tenderness in the eyes of a woman, apprehension in the eyes of the cat and total destruction behind them both.
I believe this cat does not live with the woman in the photograph. I understand that she found her and you can see that the cat has a collar so I would hope she will be reunited with her guardian and caretaker. The picture was taken somewhere in Oklahoma. I think the tornadoes travelled just south of Oklahoma City, diagonally from south-west to north-east.
When the baggage of possessions is stripped away people see clearly what is important to them: family and health and the family includes the companion animal. And in a strange way disaster and catastrophe brings people together and in doing so makes them happier.
See article linking to FB page where pets can be reunited with owners.
What a poignant picture, the cat safe in the arms of that very kind woman. It must be dreadful to have such severe storms, we moan about our rain in England at times but really we are very lucky here.
You comment is spam but I published it because I like visitors from countries not in the West!
Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is an extremely well written article.
I’ll be sure to bookmark it and return to read more
of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I’ll certainly comeback.
I spent 12 hours writing 44 articles. I’d go back in and update on the reunited as well as those found dead. Been a rough day and the same storm system will reach us in a few hours. http://www.examiner.com/dog-in-greenville/elisa-black-taylor
