What an ingenious way to provide clear cool water to the many cats that roam the Hebrew University campus!.
If you click on this photo you can just see the cat's tongue licking the water trickling out of the ancient pithos.
The jar is slightly, cunningly, slanted.
It is filled with broken up old roof tiles (like those on the ground), I guess so if some heavy bird were to land on it for a bath, it would not tip over.
.
On these boiling hot summer days, a good water source for animals in so important.
Cats feel safe and right at home on the Givat Ram campus.Plenty of food left over from the students' picnics on the lawns; plenty of migrating and stay-at-home birds to try to catch; no beasts of prey; and only friendly people around.

Everyone sitting under their vine and fig tree, and none shall make them afraid.

Sounds like a Biblical prophetic vision come true!

ReplyDeleteNice photos.
ReplyDeleteSo cute :) Who would have thought a campus would have cats! :)
ReplyDeleteYes I too was surprised to read of college cats. cat's tongues always make me smile - so prickly to the touch! Ella, our cat often licks my hand - always makes me smile, almost a tickle.
ReplyDeleteI did see his tongue! It made me smile =) How sweet. It's nice to see that the cats are well taken care off!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like cat heaven to me, but I hope there's some kind of litter box nearby. That water barrel is a great idea.
ReplyDeletegreat photo!thanks for sharing with.
ReplyDeleteAhhh - these pictures made me nostalgic. I've got my undergraduate degree in Hebrew University (computer science, in Givat Ram campus) - sometimes I forget how beautiful the campus is. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the cats at HU have got it made! I'd love to be lounging under a fig tree right about now.
