Absolutely soul-crushing and bitterly heartwarming. Tragic that he even has to teach his cat to hide when the bombs drop. Bitterly heartwarming because he loves his cat enough to train it to hide in hopes it won't be killed when the bombs drop.

That image is now permanently fused in memory. When I left his apartment I must have cried in the street for 15 minutes. That poor creature!!
I feel just as bad, if not more so for the man. He obviously loves his cat very much. He is so afraid of losing his companion that he taught his companion to hide.
He lives with that painful fear every single day.
The sad thing was, he made the cat fear so I could take this picture :(
That's not necessarily a bad thing. If you don't continue having the animal perform the "trick" their consistency in performing it on command goes down. (My Coon mix used to count to ten for treats. I'm having to work on getting him to do it consistently again because I stopped reinforcing his training for a long time.)
