"Cat fight at U.S. Embassy in Kabul"

By Joshua Partlow

"Somewhere in the murky past, at least one, if not two, embassy staffers were bitten and/or scratched by the somewhat-feral cats that wander the grounds. Security of all forms is sacred here, so red flags went up, warnings went out, rabies vaccines went in. “I’m not anti-cat,” one senior diplomat explained. “I’m pro-public health.”

The writing was on the wall. The cats’ days were numbered. “That meant exterminate,” one staffer recalled.

Enter the cat committee."
