About seven weeks ago, a Dutch journalist in Tehran, Thomas Erdbrink, decided to adopt a cat that he had found on the street. The little cat was called Eskander, the Farsi name of "our" Alexander. If you look careful at this picture, you will see that Alexander has decided to reconquer Iran from the north.

And if you're able to read Dutch, this link leads to Erdbrink's website, which is one of the nicest blogs on the web.
