Beirut’s “Cat Whisperer”

She’s not just an urban legend:

For over 11 years now, Layla has been feeding cats in specific areas in Beirut, on a daily basis. Although a few institutions where the cats gather have recently been paying her a modest salary for her work, most of the money she receives is spent on supplying food for the cats.

There was a woman like her in AUB. I remember seeing all the cats gathering together waiting for her to show up.
