		<description><![CDATA[What struck me about Operation Cat Drop &#8211; the flying cats of Borneo story - was not the unintended chain of events but the detail about the cats. Fourteen thousand cats! Where on earth would they be able to round up 14.000 cats? Could it possibly be true? And how could I find out? In [...]]]></description>
