Kishta, a Most Intelligent Cat

Monday December 18, 2006
Guest Article by Dr. Susan Brody

Dr. Susan Brody is a chiropractor practicing in Jerusalem who has over the last few years rescued and adopted 17 cats, who currently rule her thoroughly fenced-in yard and three-story house! Due to the dearth in pet awareness and veterinarians in her out-of-town neighborhood, she has become by default the local cat expert and advocate. However, she has a generous amount of revolving credit and a free ear at the best vet in town.

Read about Kishta, who may be too smart for her own fuzzy britches. Kishta learns by observing, and then passes own that new-found knowledge to the other cats in the house.

This story is so cute. I can just picture Kishta and her buddy cat doing this stunt. I wonder how the author’s husband is getting along with all of this? Thanks for sharing this.

Susan, Kishta sounds incredible! Could you send a picture of her? Chica, my own tortoiseshell Persian sends her a meow and Chanukah greetings from Ashdod. Chica likes playing with the dreidels.
