Stories that are somewhat unexpected make it into the news, just like this cat story that was published on 27 February 2014 in Arzamas (Russia): “A lesson of goodness. Passengers were standing, but did not shoo away sleeping cat. ” The story came together with a photo showing a black cat asleep on a seat while passengers were standing.
