I asked the same thing, this is what I heard back….it’s up above, around the beginning of December.

Carol,

Both came home safely. The Marine took shrapnel in the head and neck, so he wound up with the cat (unhurt, of course) in Walter Reed Army Hospital, where he was discharged, no worse for wear, with a Purple Heart. Last I heard they’re still togeather and doing fine.

Hey Kyle!
Just going back to this for the first time, in awhile….thank you so much for letting me know this story. I know in the overall scheme of what’s happing, it is a small story, but it’s a very big one in many ways. My daughter & I printed the picture & it’s on my desk @ work, & we’ve come back to this picture a few times. She is 11, but knows the value of doing the right thing, and respect for life–& also that it’s not always easy to balance. We have been interested in the program for fostering pets of those called to service, and helped with Run For the Fallen, when they passed through Virginia. You should goggle that run; most incredible. We did not personally know any of the soldiers killed in Iraq & Afghanistan, but we do now–& gotten to know many of their families, made many friends. Maybe we can trade an email address. In the meantime, check out One Marine’s View blog, I love that guy!

Keep in touch–If you hear anything else, would love to know.
Carol

Kyle B – thank you for letting us know that Jay and Squeak both survived Afghanistan! Are you quite sure about that, because I need to know so I can die happy enough – I know there are many others (look out for the new book “Leaving Jack” by J. Crocker, about the 3000 dogs left behind in Vietnam…) but this kitten has a face and a name. Is there any way you can let us know more about Jay and Squeak – please? I’m in South Africa and haven’t been able to find out much, despite emailing Jay’s Company. Thanks for making my Monday!!

In desperation all day yesterday, I searched for a followup story about this soldier and this kitten. Presumably the soldier made it home safely, but the fact that there was no followup tells me there was no happy ending, and we can only hope this little angel cat is now, one way or another, in a much gentler world. There are hundreds more like this little critter, but still…. If you want to make a difference for others like him, go to http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/change-military-policy-about-animals, and sign, so that in future soldiers may be able to choose to take home their feline/canine buddies.

My first response is the same as some others….does anyone know if kitty & soldier came home? Does the person who took or posted it, know?

Second, to Jack: Do you actually know what is going on over there? Please go to this link & read it seriously…don’t be so judgemental.

There is a way to scroll down through the pictures without reading the comments (though you will still see the captions). We hope you continue to visit our place of happiness. Happy Holidays!

I “owned” a little black kitten named Snowball for most of my tour in Iraq. I traded a whole box of Chef Boyardee ravioli for her… best trade I ever made. About three weeks before I left for home I gave her to a wounded kid in a hospital outside Fallujah… and I still miss her.
