Today's post leaves me with more questions than answers. A small town in Russia has recently hired a cat chief to care for the towns 70 some stray cats. Out of 80 applicants the newly established cat chief has to wear a bright green jacket,black bow tie and hat while making her rounds on a bicycle. Her pay is minimal (around $85 per month) and it never mentions if the cat food is purchased separately or if it comes out of her salary. Another question that went unanswered was if these feral cats have been spayed/neutered and if they receive veterinary care. The whole idea behind the cat chief was to re-brand the town as Russia's most cat loving community but I just keep thinking back to the Sochi Olympics and all the stray dogs in that area who largely went uncared for.
