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.«

  • Labour’s measures to ban deep-peat burning aim to safeguard habitats, tackle carbon emissions, and protect wildlife, so why are hunters up in arms?

    Burning vegetation on deep peat will be banned under government plans to protect nature and reduce carbon emissions.

    Vegetation on peatland is often burned to create habitat for grouse, which like to feed on the fresh shoots of new plants that grow after the burn. This increases the number of birds available to be shot for sport.

  • South Africa’s Marion Island is a breeding ground for the birds, but their chicks are being eaten alive by rodents. Now, the world’s largest operation to eradicate the invasive species is about to get under way

    By 2015, scientists knew from camera trap evidence that mice were attacking albatross chicks on Marion Island, but no one had ever witnessed it first-hand on the small volcanic outcrop off the coast of South Africa. So, when researchers Stefan and Janine Schoombie came across a badly wounded wandering albatross chick in a relatively accessible part of the island, they resolved to return at night. After hiking for 30 minutes in the dark, Stefan started quietly setting up his camera equipment behind a rock. “We were expecting to have to stalk, but the mice were climbing all over us,” he says.

    It didn’t take long for the mice to start feeding on the albatross chick. “The bird was a complete fluffball,” says Janine. “So, they just climbed up its back and started nibbling at its head. We could see their teeth going into its flesh.” The bird, too young to walk let alone fly, could only shake its head in irritation. “As scientists our job is to not intervene,” says Stefan. “But we really wanted to help that bird.”

  • With a leg-span the size of your hand, the UK’s biggest spider, ultra-rare and known for its extraordinary hunting skills, has many admirers

    Meet an Olympian among Britain’s 660 spider species: a palm-of-the-hand-sized arachnid that hunts in three dimensions and can even devour fish.

    The fen raft spider (Dolomedes plantarius) is a magnificent ambush predator: harmless to humans but lethal if you’re a pond skater, tadpole or even adult dragonfly.

    Araneae have been feared and discriminated against throughout history

    Between 24 March and 2 April, we will be profiling a shortlist of 10 of the invertebrates chosen by readers and selected by our wildlife writers from more than 2,500 nominations. The voting for our 2025 invertebrate of the year will run from midday on Wednesday, 2 April until midday on Friday, 4 April, and the winner will be announced on Monday, 7 April.

  • Annual peak is lowest on record, covering 5.53m sq miles – about 30,000 sq miles below the previous low in 2017

    Winter sea ice in the Arctic has reached a record low in 2025, according to Nasa and the US’s National Snow and Ice Data Center. The annual peak, recorded on 22 March, was the lowest since records began 47 years ago, with sea ice covering just 5.53m sq miles – about 1.1m sq miles less than last year – and 30,000 sq miles below the previous low in 2017. The Gulf of St Lawrence had almost no ice, while the Sea of Okhotsk experienced notably lower than average sea ice extent.

    In late January, sea ice extent in the Arctic unexpectedly decreased, losing an area the size of Italy (more than 115,000 sq miles). This can be attributed to cyclones pushing southerly winds in the Barents and Bering seas, causing ocean waves that broke apart and melted thin ice at the edge of the ice sheet. Temperatures up to 12C above normal were recorded between northern Greenland and the north pole.

  • Long Dean, Cotswolds: This is a world – and a worldview – away from the rush to get lab-grown meat on to the market

    It’s a test of patience waiting for a calf. But in our closed (ie we don’t buy in) small-scale herd, ensuring successful delivery of new life is vital. I’m now several days into regularly checking for signs of labour. By day, I stride through the greening wood, spring’s symphony of birdsong overlaid by woodpecker percussion, and by night, moonlit or torchlit, I stumble, observed by owls but without pausing to dwell on what those dark scufflings might be. These calves have been nine months in the making, a few more days won’t matter. Nature, after all, dictates her own pace.

    By contrast, in the news recently, the Food Standards Agency is seeking to speed up the approval of lab-grown meat. These products, originating from animal cells, will be developed in small chemical plants before being processed to look like food, and it is claimed they are better for the environment and health. Putting aside the irony that they seem to be the “ultimate” in processed food, it might be that using science is the most “efficient” way to produce meat. But – pardoning the pun – there’s much more at stake here than that.

  • We asked 18 Republicans whose districts benefit most from Biden’s IRA climate law if they back Trump’s demands

    Billions of dollars in clean energy spending and jobs have overwhelmingly flowed to parts of the US represented by Republican lawmakers. But these members of Congress are still largely reticent to break with Donald Trump’s demands to kill off key incentives for renewables, even as their districts bask in the rewards.

    The president has called for the dismantling of the Inflation Reduction Act – a sweeping bill passed by Democrats that has helped turbocharge investments in wind, solar, nuclear, batteries and electric vehicle manufacturing in the US – calling it a “giant scam”. Trump froze funding allocated under the act and has vowed to claw back grants aimed at reducing planet-heating pollution.

  • The thylacine might walk again. Or Lake Pedder might rise again. The possibility of ecological restoration in the island state plays into the appeal of going back in time

    There is something about Tasmania that makes it a place where people want to restore the past, and not just because Tasmanians still regularly report seeing thylacines bounding off into the forest.

    Certainly, it’s a retro kind of place. The landed gentry are still a thing, the powerful families of modern Tasmania tracing their ancestry back to the original squatters, who either took the land by force or bought it from the colonial government, no questions asked. Georgian mansions scatter the rural landscape; in Hobart, convict hewn stone is a building material of choice. Nearly 70% of Tasmanians had both parents born in Australia (the overall figure for the country is 47%), and more than 80% identify with a white ancestry (65% for Australia as a whole). If you ignore the giant cruise ships, the Teslas and the puffer jackets, you could imagine yourself in mid-century Australia.

  • Riot of native wildflowers that enthralled visitors in the past several years have failed to sprout due to too little rain

    It’s one of the best known rites of spring in California: extraordinary displays known as “superblooms” that coat the hillsides in an abundance of color. Some years the blooms are massive enough to draw tourists from around the world to revel in the fields, such as in 2023 when more than 100,000 people showed up on a weekend to gawk at the poppies in Lake Elsinore, a small city about an hour outside Los Angeles.

    But this year, not so much. Thanks to a brutally dry winter, the hills around the usual southern California superbloom hotspots have been conspicuously bare. Callista Turner, a state park ranger, could count the number of blooms on two hands as she surveyed the 8 miles of rolling hills at the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in the final week of March, which is typically when superbloom season peaks. “We’re still waiting to see what kind of season we have,” she says. “It’s a very slow start.”

  • The last two big storms to hit Mexico have left the city vulnerable to organised crime and in fear of the next climate shock

    Flora Montejo always dreamed of buying her own home. After almost three decades working as a nurse, the 68-year-old invested her retirement savings in a two-storey house in San Agustín, a working-class suburb of the Mexican resort town of Acapulco.

    Montejo’s retirement dream was shortlived. Not long after moving into her newly remodelled home, Hurricane John dumped record levels of rainfall on Acapulco, triggering landslides and flash floods after calm creeks turned into roaring rivers.
