Cats of Kathmandu

Namaste!

The one thing that is rarely seen in the streets of Kathmandu is a cat. The large number of dogs, domestic as well as stray, stroll around but not cats. In the eyes of many Nepalese cats are not of such a great usefulness as dogs: they don't guard the house or the farm, they don't scare off unwanted visitors and they won't help you in case of attack of a hooligan. Instead they steal meat or milk whenever there is a chance for it. Besides many think that cats, especially black ones, are bad luck bringers.

Cats of Thailand

Walking along the streets of Bangkok, visiting its temples and enjoying on Koh Samui, I spotted many cats. All they were clean, well-fed and were not scared of people. Especially many cats there were around the temples. Seems that people in Thailand love cats and take good care of them. The cats were of different colours - black, red, white and mixed.
