I just heard a reporter working in Ukraine. She wasn't a correspondent there, just entered a couple of weeks ago. Before the war her interpreter had told her even if there was war Ukranians wouldn't leave. The curious thing is the reason. Many of them have cats, and cats don't like moving from home [heck, neither do refugees !]. Now she has no longer an interpreter, because he left to volunteer in the militia and she sees lots of refugees in trains and roads with their cat in a blanket or their dog in a box. They had trouble getting into an overcrowded train or bus with their small luggage and all but they don't leave their pet behind (or their baby, but that's less newsworthy).
I mean both cats and dogs are hunters, carnivores. And I've seen them fight between them sometimes. But I bet they understand human war even less than I do, which is hardly possible. War or war propaganda.
