BEWARE WHAT YOU PUT ON LAMPOSTS

I heard yesterday that a couple living in Balat had lot their cat.  They posted cute little pictures of it onto the lamposts asking anyone to come forward with news of their little one with the promise of a cash reward.

They received a phone call from someone demanding the ransom of 10,000 dollars for the return of the cat otherwise he would slit it's throat.

The couple were distraught naturally.  The kidnapper then actually came to the house and threatened once again to kill the cat if he didn't get the money within 48 hours.

The couple then began asking neighbors and everyone around them if they knew who had kidnapped their cat.  The man in the bakkal close by had seen the cat at someone's window and assured the couple he would contact the father of the kidnapper and have their cat returned safe and sound.

True to his word, he did.  The kidnapper came to the couple's house with the cat, apologized citing 'a misunderstanding' and then suggesting that when this cat has kittens he would very much like one of them!
