Furry Troops: Cats Living in Special Military Op Area

Subscribe
World Cat Day, also known as International Cat Day, is celebrated annually on August 8. This day brings awareness to the importance of cats in our lives, their welfare, and their protection. It is a day to appreciate and celebrate the unique personalities of these furry creatures, who have been loyal companions since ancient times.
All along the front line, furry troops can be found in almost every dugout. Animals from the conflict zone themselves are often attached to the military, which does not pass by the four-legged friends. Often, soldiers take their favorite pets home to their families.
Take a look at the cats living in the zone of the Russian special military operation in Sputnik's gallery:
