An earthquake was felt in parts of Jamaica this morning.
The Earthquake Unit at the University of the West Indies says the quake measured 4.8 and was located at approximately eight kilometres east of Mile Gully, Manchester.
The unit said that it occurred at 7:28 a.m and had a focal depth of 24 kilometres.
Earlier, the US Geological Survey reported that the tremor had a magnitude of 4.5 and hit around five kilometres south-south east of Alexandria, St Ann, with a depth of 10 kilometres.
The unit reported that the earthquake was felt in Kingston and St Andrew.
Readers told The Gleaner that it was also felt in St Ann, St Catherine, Manchester, Hanover, St Elizabeth Clarendon, St James, and Trelawny.
They forgot the part where the ambulance actually stopped to let the cat in
oh good I was worried
What a good cat. What a kind cat. How can anyone not love cats they are so good and loving.
they also forgot the part where they only found the baby because masha was screaming her head off bc she knew this baby was in danger. she went around outside the alley the next morning and yelled at passerby until she got one to follow her to the baby. she kept him warm all night and then made sure someone found him. she was adopted after this bc she was a stray and is in a loving home and is a hero
Hero cat
Thank you, Masha, you’re such a good girl.
See.
Kittens can’t regulate their own body temperature. That’s why they pile up.
Cats see us as colony members.
Masha saw a kitten that was on its own, no mommy, no other kittens to cuddle with. She instinctively knew that was a cold kitten. She knew that a kitten alone on a cold night was very likely to die. Because a kitten would have died too.
So, all she was doing was what any good colony member does - protecting the abandoned kitten. Then when the abandoned kitten’s mommy didn’t come back, she called the rest of the colony for help.
People have this bizarre idea that housecats don’t have a social sense. They do, and it saved this kid’s life. And possibly Masha’s too, as life on the streets is dangerous for a kitty.
We say “good dog” all the time, but Masha was being a very, very good cat…not just by human moral standards but by feline ones.
