Azriel, sretna mačka

Objavljeno u Ljubimci

Jedan jadan ulični mačak je našao novi život u Osnovnoj škoji u Starom Gradu.

Paiz, 2024.

 

Bilo je hladno i kišno. Djeca su žurno ulazila u školu. Zvonilo je. Nastava je počela. Jedan dječak trči. To je Dragutin, šestaš koji uvijek kasni. Na ulazu u školsku zgradu ugledao je žutog mačka koji se mokar sklonio od kiše na školskom pragu.

Mačak se uplašio da će ga dječak potjerati i taman kada je htio pobjeći, dječak ga je pogledao u oči i ljubazno šapnuo:”Nemoj nikud ići. Ostani tu dok ne prestane kiša.”

Mačak mu je trepnuo u znak povjerenja, a dječak se sav ozario od dragosti, „odtrepnuo” mu je nazad i otišao u razred. Tog dana dječak nije ni na što drugo mislio osim na žutog mačka i kako mu pomoći. „Sigurno je gladan, i hladno mu je, a pitom je skroz i sigurno mu nedostaje malo ljubavi i pažnje i da ga netko pomazi....

Cijelu noć dječak nije mogao zaspati i jedva je dočekao jutro da svane. Došao je ispred škole prije svih u nadi da će naći mačka, ali nije ga bilo. Otišao je iza škole i ugledao ga. Radost mu je ispunila srce, a osmijeh lice. Dragutin je tog dana sa prijateljima razradio plan da zajedno naprave kućicu za mačka i kasicu prasicu za skupljanje novca za hranu. Mačku su nadjenuli ime Azriel.

Za pomoć u realizaciji tog plana velikodušno su se priključili školski domar Ivan Vranjican, podvornice Lidija Aleši, Marika Matešić i Meri Pavičić, ravnateljica Linda Kuničić i mnogi drugi učitelji i učiteljice, sve redom veliki ljubitelji životinja, a posebno mačaka.

Kućica je napravljena dok si rekao keks, u kasici se skupilo dovoljno za hranu i veterinarski pregled,

Azriel se posve udomaćio i postao pravi školski mačak koji svaki dan jedva čeka da zazvoni veliki odmor...., a Dragutin, on više uopće ne kasni.

Hvala svima koji pomažu svakom biću kojem pomoć treba.

Pozdravlja vas svih i zahvaljuje mačak Azriel, čuvar OŠ Petra Hektorovića Stari Grad!

Eco Hvar zahvaljuje Vinki Šurlin, voditeljici zbora Stella Maris i profesorici u školi što je s nama podijelila ovu dirljivu priču.

Iznenađenje! Nastavak priče - Slobodna Dalmacija 30.09.2024.:

»No, ova priča tu ne završava. Kada je ljeto stiglo, Azriel je pronašao privremeni dom kod susjede Sanje, ali se ubrzo pokazalo da Azriel nije običan ulični mačak. Nakon što ga je boljela šapica, Sanja ga je odnijela veterinaru, a rentgenski pregled otkrio je čip. Istražujući dalje, veterinar je došao do vlasnika iz Hvara, koji su se šokirali saznanjem da je njihov mačak, zapravo imena Cezar, živ.

Obitelj iz Hvara mislila je da je Cezar nestao u listopadu prošle godine i smatrali su da se dogodila najgora moguća sudbina – mislili su da je otrovan ili odnesen. Ispostavilo se da je Cezar proveo gotovo godinu dana u Starom Gradu, gdje je bio voljen i njegovan. Vlasnici su odmah došli po njega, a dirljiv susret završio je suzama radosnicama, kako kod obitelji, tako i kod teta Sanje i školskog kolektiva. Azriel, odnosno Cezar, vratio se svojoj obitelji, no uspomena na njega ostat će zauvijek u srcima svih koji su ga upoznali u školi.«

  • Commons committee heard from residents of Yorkshire town with the highest levels of ‘forever chemicals’ in UK

    On 15 January, members of the House of Commons environmental audit committee (EAC) visited Bentham, the North Yorkshire town that has the highest levels of Pfas contamination in the UK.

    Colloquially known as “forever chemicals”, Pfas (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances) do not naturally degrade or decompose. This persistence gives them special properties with useful applications in both industrial and consumer products.

  • World’s worst nuclear disaster leaves mixed legacy of nature’s resilience amid serious contamination, as wars increase lobbying for energy supply

    Forty years on from the world’s worst nuclear disaster, Chornobyl is still contaminated with almost half the caesium-137 that exploded from the Unit 4 reactor in 1986, as well as much longer-lived hazards such as plutonium, tritium and americium. But according to some experts, the long-term effects on nature may be less than if the area had been left to humans, resulting in unexpected consequences in an environment left to its own devices.

    The reminder of the protracted fallout from Chornobyl was made ahead of Sunday’s anniversary, which coincides with renewed lobbying for nuclear power and a rise in fears about atomic brinkmanship due to the oil crisis and wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.

  • A series of stunning findings about great apes’ mental capabilities in recent years has transformed how we see our closest relatives

    Clear plastic cups and pitchers adorned the wooden table in Des Moines, Iowa. Invisible juice was poured and presented to Kanzi, who enthusiastically chose the fake filled cup, playing along with the man who had come to visit. In many ways, it was the quintessential scene of a children’s imaginary tea party. Only Kanzi, at 44 years old, was a bonobo.

    The experiment, carried out at the Ape Initiative facility in 2024, was the first to empirically test and document pretend play in a great ape species, with the results published in the journal Science in February. The study adds to an expansive repertoire of research over the past decade that has uncovered robust similarities between ape and human behaviours, upending long-held beliefs about how we distinguish ourselves from our closest kin.

  • After his project got rejected in Sydney, a rubbish disposal magnate now hopes to build a $630m port and waste incinerator near a tourist gateway city

    An Australian billionaire’s plan to burn rubbish for energy in Fiji amounts to “waste colonialism” and risks spoiling a “beach paradise”, villagers and the Pacific country’s UN ambassador have said.

    Traditional landowner Inoke Tora boarded a bus to the capital, Suva, on Tuesday with a petition from villagers opposing the $630m waste-to-energy incinerator, which is forecast to consume 900,000 tonnes of non-recyclable rubbish each year.

  • The injunction pauses policy giving senior Trump official direct sign-off on federal clean energy projects

    A federal judge in Massachusetts on Tuesday struck down several Trump administration actions slowing down development of clean energy, including a requirement that all solar and wind energy projects on federal lands and waters be personally approved by the interior secretary, Doug Burgum.

    Denise J Casper, chief judge of the US district court for Massachusetts, ruled that a coalition of plaintiffs representing wind and solar developers were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims that the administration’s actions violate federal statute and would cause irreparable harm if the court did not intervene.

  • The Marches, Shropshire: Recently I had wondered how long this great lime would stay standing. The next day, I had my answer

    How quickly something that defines a landscape for centuries becomes the absence that redefines it – so it is with ancient trees. The trunk snapped like a carrot at the roots and crashed, its bony branches splintered. Now it lies like a shipwreck stranded in an open field, its hulk of twigs an animal pelt stilled.

    A day before, looking at its 300-year-old architecture of mostly dead wood yet so vividly alive, admiring its form and persistence through years and trouble, standing alone with spring coursing through the land and its timbers, I wondered how long, in tree time, it had left.

  • Campaigners in Henley say insufficient number of bathers to qualify for status is result of poor water quality

    Bathing water rules in England should be improved to help drive a clean-up of pollution at a spot on the River Thames in Henley, campaigners say.

    In a letter to the environment secretary, Emma Reynolds, businesses, river users, community groups and civic leaders said poor water quality had been damaging the town and had put public health at risk.

  • Donald Trump’s conflict with Iran could speed the EU’s green revolution – if panicking governments can hold their nerve on clean energy

    A surge in demand for electric vehicles across Europe may be evidence of what George Monbiot greeted as the silver lining of the Iran war. Sales of electric cars in continental Europe rose by 51% in March.

    The International Energy Agency has called the disruption in the strait of Hormuz the “biggest energy crisis in history”, but it appears, on one level, to be accelerating Europe’s green revolution. Yet, even if car-owners are rushing to the EV showrooms, some European governments, facing a groundswell of anger over soaring petrol and gas prices, are at risk of sending the clean energy transition into reverse.

  • As rising gold prices fuel environmental destruction, communities in the country’s biodiverse heartland are passing laws against mining

    Mahogany trees tower above Herminio Mamani as he tends his cacao farm in Bolivia’s biodiverse north-west. A former president of El Ceibo, the country’s largest organic cacao co-operative, he says the agroforestry model used by its 1,300 members is vital not only to maintain the quality of the cacao they grow, which is used for chocolate and other products, but also for keeping gold mining at bay.

    “We cacao producers would never kill an animal here,” he says, parrots squawking nearby. “The parcels [of land] can never be monocultures – all the crops grow together.”

  • Unwanted vessels left to decay release fibreglass shards into the water, harming marine life. Steve Green – with his trusty van Cecil – is determined to clean things up

    Steve Green, a boat engineer from Cornwall, was pulled over by the police just before Christmas. He was driving a decrepit-looking VW campervan and towing an even more dilapidated yacht up to Truro. He hadn’t broken any laws, but he admits that Cecil the campervan, which runs on donated chip oil from local pubs and has a crane and a winch on the front, “wasn’t quite what VW intended”.

    Green (and Cecil) are on a mission to rid the beautiful hidden creeks of Cornwall’s Helford and Fal rivers of 166 abandoned fibreglass yachts, which are leaking plastic and toxins into the predominantly marine waters. Marine biologists have likened the thousands of shards of fibreglass they have found embedded in the flesh of sea-creatures in areas with wrecks such as these to asbestos, a substance known to have a noxious effect on humans.

    Green uses a detachable crane system at the front of his van to move around bags of plastic after they have been weighed. Cecil is upholstered in recycled denim
