Vacation Diary IV

The thing one notices very quickly in this town is a huge number of cats. Cats of all sizes and colours parade the streets, perch on the stone walls, scavange the garbage.

I'm not averse to cats but even I find them annoying at times. Oh, the little ones are cute as all the cubs are. But they are quite aggressive when food is concerned, not to mention the noise they make.

It's quite remarkable, though, that dogs (which also abound) and cats seem to get along quite well. At least I haven't seen a single strife occur between the species. They must have learned to let each other the space they need. Or perhaps they have learned each other's language. Who knows! But I sometimes wish people were more like the cats and dogs on this island.
