What’s really strange about this is cats aren’t normally kept as pets by Israelis in Israel. They are more like a tolerated pest that’s just there to keep the rat problem down. At least that’s what I have seen in Yerushalayim.

Any one who lives or has lived in Israel correct me if I am wrong.

I’m thinking that this cat lady probably made aliyah from America.

The domestic cat is never mentioned in the bible. The cat was like purely an Egyptian thang, which kind of makes sense because it’s such a huge sandbox.

But yes, I would bet substantial sums that not a rodent (and darn few insects, which are cat hors d’ouvres) is found on the grounds of that house.

He lasted 449 more cats than I would.

I believe a prominent brand of cat food in Palestine is... “Catly.” Really. And that’s probably the catliest house in all Israel.

Wonder if she keeps a private veterinarian going, just by herself.

The man, in his divorce request, complained that the cats... did not allow him to prepare meals in the kitchen, the Hebrew daily Maariv reported Wednesday. When he sat to eat, cats jumped onto the table and stole his food.

That doesn't sound Kosher to me.

At one point of my life I had six cats. I was scared that I was going to become a cat lady. I can’t imagine having 550 cats. How does one keep their names straight?

What did she feed them besides her husband’s meal? A cow per day? 12 chickens? 50 lbs of salmon? Were the cats vegetarians?

Were they taken to the vet? That’s 2 per day. Spay/neuter?

How does one know if one cat goes missing?

Too much, perhaps, of a good thing.

I have six in the house right now (two adult cats plus four kittens) and have decided that is too many. Thankfully, I have homes lined up for three of the kittens; we’re keeping the last one.

Also, over the course of the evening I saw an equal number of strays in my backyard. It might be time to set up my live trap again...
