We think we’ve uncovered the truth about why there are so many cats in Jerusalem. Don’t believe those stories about needing to import cats to take care of a rat problem. Once upon a time, Jerusalem was a city made of gold (they don’t call it “Jerusalem of Gold” for nothing) and some genius fell for the marketing scheme known as “Cats for Gold”.
Consider this a warning: whenever you see the claim “As Seen on TV”, run far away….
Thanks to Dave Mintz for sharing this classified information with us.

Cat Photo of the Day - Sinai Edition!
Bess and her travel mates from Egypt decided to escape to Sinai for the weekend. The cats are seemingly less feral here and are exponentially more friendly. Here is a cat that decided to join the table next to us for breakfast, I don’t think I remember seeing him at Sinai.
