The residents of the Turkish city of Van are still rebuilding after an earthquake hit the area in 2011, but one veterinarian claims the tremor had devastating psychological effects on the town's cats. Professor Abuzer Tas of the Faculty of Veterinary Studies at Van's Century University says the earthquake has driven the area's felines to attempt suicide on a regular basis. "After the quake that jolted Van, a large number of cats are throwing themselves from heights," he says. Tas claims the cats have grown fidgety remaining in confined spaces for long periods of time and are jumping in attempts to free themselves ... both from their physical and mental prisons. It's a sad day when hitting the catnip no longer provides the solace it once did.
