Anybody who has a cat or who has spent any decent amount of time around them, knows how sensitive they are and how they perceive things that us humans can't, or have filtered out. It's amazing to me how little known this aspect of the two world wars is. I knew something about ships' cats and the messenger pigeons, but not about cats in the trenches, which I find a hair raising prospect - but cats are survivors by nature and in some ways were ironically and probably more at home in those situations than the humans were, despite all the chaos. It is sometimes difficult to connect to all the sacrifices that were made for our modern freedoms, but now when Remembrance Day comes around, I will be remembering with the help of the cats. <3
You are so right. I am going to do more research into it but our cats were definitely brave & I believe would really have helped our poor soldiers in the trenches too.
It was so wonderful to read about all the cats who were also heroes who played their part in World war 1 and World war 2. I will definitely read the book.x😽
