This week, the cat is drawn surrounded by a kite in the colours of Palestinian flag. The drawing is inspired by the poem "If I Must Die," by Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer, written before the author’s death in an airstrike by the Israeli military.

“If I must die, 

you must live 

to tell my story 

to sell my things 

to buy a piece of cloth 

and some strings, 

(make it white with a long tail) 

so that a child, somewhere in Gaza 

while looking heaven in the eye 

awaiting his dad who left in a blaze— 

and bid no one farewell 

not even to his flesh 

not even to himself— 

sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above 

and thinks for a moment an angel is there 

bringing back love 

If I must die 

let it bring hope 

let it be a tale.”
