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.«

  • Guardian investigation reveals fossil fuel links of IPCC authors, with experts declaring the body’s conflict of interest policy ‘not fit for purpose’

    On her first day as an expert author on the world’s most important climate reports, Prof Julia Steinberger knew nobody else, so she sat down at a stranger’s table for breakfast.

    “Hi, I’m Julia. I’m from the University of Lausanne,” she said. The man across the table replied: “I’m Mustafa Babiker. I work with Saudi Aramco.”

  • Rafael Moreno, whose company has opened demo plant in Brazil, says market is ‘nervous’ as Trump-Xi summit looms

    The head of a mining company hoping to supply the EU with rare earths in two years’ time has said it is “paramount” to end China’s stranglehold on the supply of the raw materials used in everything from cars to wind turbines and military jets.

    As Donald Trump and China’s president, Xi Jinping, prepare to meet on Thursday in their second summit of the year, Rafael Moreno said it was also “imperative” that they do a deal for Beijing to ease up, once again, on its threat to ban exports of rare earths.

  • Brigg, Lincolnshire: As my attention turns to drilling next year’s cash crops, I create a disturbance out in the fields

    Sometimes a moment of surprise has years of experience behind it. Last week as I was out in the oilseed rape fields applying a cocktail of microbe food (molasses, humates and fish paste), I had quite a shock when up went a large flock of grey partridges, a covey of 26. Twelve would be considered large, with red-legged partridges only ever appearing in pairs, but I’ve not seen 26 grey here in my lifetime.

    This is testament to our nature‑friendly approach to farming, including this year planting specific margins to encourage sawfly larvae, crickets, weevils and ground beetles. These insects form the entire diet of grey partridges (and yellowhammers) during their first two weeks of life. In addition, rather than just planting overwinter cover crops and “catch” crops to mop up loose nutrients and protect the soil from the elements, I now add millet, the seed of which is a boost for older birds. The idea is to create a mosaic of habitats that connect through the landscape.

  • Amid record-shattering heatwaves and popular demand for climate action, why are politicians often timid or in denial?

    It was, according to the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, the “summer of truth”. Climate chaos ripped through Europe and the northern hemisphere, sending heat records tumbling, scorching crops in the fields, burning forests, emptying rivers and reservoirs, warping train tracks, melting roads and killing about 35,000 people in Europe alone.

    The EU has estimated the damage at about €180bn, and the full bill is yet to arrive: harvests have been depleted, which will probably raise food price inflation, and expensive repairs to infrastructure have only just begun.

  • Much of the UK is still officially in drought after its hottest summer on record, but grasslands are slowly recovering their colour

    The landscapes of southern England and Wales are slowly regaining their colour after this summer’s extreme heat.

    The UK’s hottest summer on record left the south of the country dried out and brown, making the impact of the drought particularly visual.

  • After summer’s heatwaves, prepare for winter of storms and heavy rain, with millions of UK homes at risk of flooding

    The accelerating climate crisis and this year’s record-breaking El Niño mean that, although the summer’s heatwaves are still fresh in the memory, households in the UK are already being told to prepare for a potentially destructive winter of storms and heavy rain – leaving millions of homes at risk of flooding.

    Government action is needed to improve flood defences and build reliance on a national and regional level. But with the UK’s flood season just weeks away, the Guardian spoke to experts to find out what action communities and individuals can take to make their neighbourhoods and homes more resilient, from self-closing airbricks to deflated children’s footballs.

  • The world is suddenly full of webs and hairy legs. But why? And what do they belong to? Meet the spiders you’re most likely to encounter, from cardinals to false wolves

    Summer is at an end, and suddenly spiders seem to be everywhere – in your house, in your garden, in your hair. Fresh webs hang from doorways, walls, shrubs and fence posts, creating invisible obstacle courses. Where do all these spiders come from, what kind are they and what, if anything, should we do about them?

    The short answer to the question “Why are there so many more spiders at this time of year?” is: there aren’t. They are just more obvious. Dave Clarke, an ectotherm (“cold-blooded” animal) specialist at the Zoological Society of London, says: “There are more spiders around in the spring, because that’s when they hatch from their egg sacs, and there are hundreds of babies in each egg sac. But they’re small and not very obvious. They grow up during the summer and, at this time of year, they reach their maximum size.” Their webs are also correspondingly larger.

  • Intensified by this year’s super El Niño, fires in Borneo and Sumatra are emitting toxic air for swathes of the population in Indonesia and its neighbours

    For months, parts of Indonesia’s Borneo and Sumatra islands have been ablaze. The fires are sometimes lit illegally as a cheap way to clear land for plantations of oil palm, of which Indonesia is the world’s largest producer.

    So prevalent is the technique that it even has a special term: slash and burn.

  • People are increasingly crossing paths with the wild animals as homes ring the outskirts of forests, sparking a new era of coexistence

    Every year, as summer draws to a close and fall begins, California’s bears get hungry.

    Black bears have long roamed the state, hunting for acorns, ants and pine nuts by the bucketload to pack on calories before hibernation. But increasingly, for every berry and root, there’s an even greater temptation: our trash and the detritus of human existence.

  • Trump says he digs coal – but pneumoconiosis cases are at a 50-year high, and sick miners are mired in benefit delays

    For 38 years, Josh Armes worked as a coal miner in West Virginia and Virginia.

    After retirement, Armes, 74, of Grundy, Virginia, was diagnosed with black lung disease, medically known as coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP), caused by breathing in coal dust over long periods, which irreversibly damages the lungs.
