One morning a student from Izmir, Turkey is an unusual stranger who has noticeable gingery
hair.
No one can remember exactly where he came from; but there's no denying that he eventually
found his place in the world.
On a cold January day, a ginger cat was seen on the grounds of a secondary school.
While other cats would usually demand treats.
This is one who only wanted attention and affection from the students.
He was staying outside the school in the mornings, meeting them like a security guard, but then
he was curious to go into the school halls too, wanting to interact more with them.
The children immediately took this fluffy creature under their wing.
They began to play with the little cat and feed him.
While he did all that he could to demonstrate that he was ready to try his paws at education.
He once accidentally wandered into a third-grade classroom during a math class.
And for some reason, decided to make this place his new home.
While the teacher Özlem Pınar Ivaşcu was explaining the new topic standing in front
of the board.
The fluffy thing peeked into the room through the open door.
After watching the class for a while, he confidently, but quietly walked up to the first desk.
His tail in the air, then he jumped onto it and started surveying the Blackboard.
As if he was the most ordinary third grader, who had just been late for class.
Needless to say the children were delighted with this behaviour, but they still tried
to keep quiet until the break.
The teacher was also very surprised by the cat's behaviour, but she had nothing against
the new student and she offered to give him a nickname.
Everyone liked this idea and agreed to the name.
Tombi.
Just imagine this went on for several weeks, during which the cat lived in the school,
always returning to his favourite math classroom.
Actually the teachers even noticed how beneficial the cat's presence was for the discipline
in the class.
Because when the cat came into the classroom, the children tried to behave very quietly.
So as to not scare the unusual student and not to disturb him while he was getting new
knowledge.
In fact, the cat watch the teacher and the educational process so closely that soon he
even received his own line with the name and grades and the school register.
Of course, he always got A's for behaviour and participation.
No one expected that the students would eagerly run to the math classroom every morning, waiting
for Tommi to join them.
The cat always came to class on time, even though it was rather challenging.
Before getting to class, the cat had to greet all the students who wanted to give him a
pat in the hall.
Tombi didn't mind the attention, but his thirst for knowledge always brought him back to that
very math classroom.
For children, the school suddenly turned into a place where they wanted to get back to quicker,
because they wanted to play with their pet.
In fact, every kid felt like they were ginger cats’ owner.
The students became more composed and Tombi's presence United them.
The kids no longer spent their recess glued to their smartphones.
They spent it with the live cat, looking at the kids, the school staff simply didn't dare
drive the kitty out into the street.
To everyone's surprise, Tombi showed incredible.
He regularly attended classes, listened carefully to teachers with an intelligent expression
on his face and often peaked into books.
An interesting trend started at school.
Kids began to write stories about the ginger cat and they got so absorbed in the creation
of their own books that their teacher was simply amazed.
It used to be difficult to find a reason or motivation for the children to do something
useful.
However, the appearance of this small creature changed the school's atmosphere completely.
The school's principal later said, unfortunately, as it all happens, the joy didn't last long
and the new students started having real problems.
Unfortunately, some of the parents didn't appreciate the benefits of having Tombi around
and turn to the principal with the complaint.
Stating that they were unhappy with the dirty stray cat.
That's been going to class with their children.
Some compassionate people quickly shared Tombi's story on Facebook saying that he needed a
new home as soon as possible.
One of the teachers even took the ginger cat to the vet for a check-up.
Tommy received all the vaccinations.
And so his chances for finding a new home were supposedly increasing.
Thanks to the pictures students made of Tombi and all sorts of stories they told.
Tombi became very popular in the city.
So the owner was found really quickly.
This could have been the end of our story about the incredible student, but after his
active lifestyle among the large number of children’s, Tombi didn't like the new place
at all.
The former student refused to eat and even fought with the neighbours’ cats.
Since the teacher Özlem Pınar was supervising the search for a home for Tombi.
She was the first one to find out about Tombi's problems at the new place.
When he refused to eat completely, she even had to take the dine cat home.
She shared the details of this unpleasant situation online.
And the story began to spread on all social media outlets.
The cat even started getting encouraging postcards from all over the world.
Finally the school authorities decided to join in and took measures that significantly
influenced the future life of the school mascot.
Since an ordinary stray cat could not stay indoors.
The school decided to hire the cat as an actual employee.
Eventually triumphant Tombi returned to the third grade accompanied by the math teacher.
This time however, he was no longer treated as a common stray cat that wanted to learn
something new.
He received the position of a school employee; students were beyond happy about this news
at the next school meeting the parent who had expressed his concern over the cat's presence
at school apologized and even gave the cat a new collar as a sign of reconciliation.
Now the newest school employee has his own place set up for him.
However, the cat shows to stick to his traditions and continued roaming around the school, observing
the children curiously and fulfilling his important mission.
Giving joy to everyone around.
A few weeks later, Tombi was promoted and officially received the position of the third
grade's head teacher.
for his outstanding achievements in education.
This is how an ordinary stray cat became a teacher.
Thanks to his enthusiasm and perseverance.
School psychologists even made a list of reasons why, having an animal in the classroom, isn't
just fun, but also a real therapy for children.
Tombi's still continues to work at school where he greets students every morning.
Sometimes he goes into the classroom with them and is responsible for the atmosphere
and discipline in class.
With his assistance, it's much easier to maintain a respectable and inviting classroom environment.
He also oversees homework and makes sure it gets done, even if that means being hands-on
sometimes.
The third grade had teacher's salary is spent on cat food and trees.
Cat's life is happy now, he found his place.
