However, the images posted were not of the deserted city streets with police cordons, but of cats. The hilarious response demonstrated the good humour of the Belgium people even in times of crisis, as they endeavoured, in the most imaginative way possible, to support the police services.

"#Catstorm on #BrusselsLockdown = the best of human nature responding to the worst of human nature. Hope all are safe," wrote one Twitter user poignantly.
