"To respect the cat is the beginning of aesthetic sense." --Erasmus Darwin
How I Moved My Cat from Israel to Pakistan
"I recently hunched over my desk lunch and typed: How to get a cat from Israel to Pakistan. This is not a question that Google easily answers. There are no holiday packages from Israel to Pakistan -- no direct flights, and no diplomatic relations. But here I was, asking the Internet weird questions at NPR's Washington, D.C., headquarters in June. I was being trained there before I was to be dispatched as their Islamabad-based correspondent. Most of my worldly possessions -- and my cat -- were in Israel and the Palestinian Territories, where I was previously based as a Mideast correspondent for The New York Times." Journalist Diaa Hadid tells the story of how her cat Shawareb came to be hers, and how she was able to bring him from Palestine to Pakistan.
