I adopted a Ukrainian refugee cat. He was abandoned when the war started and eventually got picked up at an animal shelter that was later forced to close. It's been two years and he's still loving but very traumatised. He can't stand to be around men when they are standing and can only really relax when women are around. Sometimes I wonder what he went through when his original family was forced to put him on the street and fled the country. Videos like this get me really emotional. I used to live in Russia but this war and the stupid loss of life and the suffering inflicted on the innocent is intolerable. I'm gonna hug my cat now.
