The image you see did not come with this Japan Times article. It’s a screenshot from a TV news program I happened to save because it discusses how Kumamoto City’s International Center responded to the quake (I’ll post about that aspect of the program some other time).
I didn’t think much about the image when I first saw it but the article made me realize that it is no coincidence that people like the owners of this cat were staying in their cars.
By the way, those of you with an interest in pets and animal rights issues should also check out this post from Nick May:
