EDITORS COMMENTS
"Cat Leap to Safety - Three Rivers, Texas - 26 September 1967 In the midst of tragedy and devastation caused by a hurricane in the small town of Beulah, this remarkable feline became an unlikely symbol of survival. Perched on top of a car roof for three long days, it battled against rising floodwaters and sought refuge from the chaos below. With its keen instincts kicking in, the cat made a daring decision to leap towards safety. Fearful of the rescue boat searching for survivors, it opted for a different kind of sanctuary – a tall tree that promised security amidst the turmoil. This extraordinary photograph captures both humor and desperation as this brave creature defies all odds. Its determination to escape is palpable; you can almost feel its heart racing with every calculated jump. Taken in 1967 by Topography's skilled lensman, this image encapsulates not only an animal's struggle but also serves as a poignant reminder of human resilience during times of crisis. The cat's story resonates with those who have faced adversity head-on and found strength within themselves to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges. Decades later, we look back at this snapshot from history with admiration for both our furry friend's audacity and our own capacity to endure". Credit: TopFoto
