Iranian Cats Form Resistance, Refuse to Evacuate

In an unexpected twist to Tehran's ongoing evacuation saga, domestic cats across the city have reportedly "refused to evacuate," forming what social media now calls the Feline Resistance. Owners attempting to stuff them into carriers report being clawed, hissed at, and in one case, judged so harshly that the cat packed the bag and left on its own terms. One tabby named Parsifal was last seen marching down Vali-Asr Street with a sardine tin and a look of majestic betrayal. "They know something we don't," said Mina, a university student whose cat has barricaded itself under the sink. "I'm starting to think they're in charge now." Tehran's Animal Affairs Office confirmed a 500% increase in cat-related standoffs. A spokesman said, "At this point, we advise leaving food and praying." Experts suspect the cats have formed a breakaway civil society with their own evacuation protocol, which mostly involves napping in sunlight and ignoring all commands. SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
