Cats and Dogs

Yesterday, a ginger cat came to our house looking for some feed. We believe it's Alex's cat. He's our neighbour who died recently. He loves animals and owns a couple of sheepdogs, cats, horses and many more. We are thinking that maybe her sister who stays there has already gone back to America so no one is feeding the poor cat now.

Here, cats don't normally stay in the house. They love walking about and will come back when they want to. The cat that we got the last time went back to its owner. The kids are not happy but what can we do, it won't stay with us.

So this ginger cat that I'm talking about has been here quite a few times now. But this time It will be a regular visit. So I borrow Thumper's extra food bowl and my husband gets something from the pantry. We don't have cat food left so he gets canned meat from the pantry instead. Then give the cat milk to drink.

Tia was over the moon and she was so excited when she saw the cat and yelled,

"Yey! We have a cat now!"

The cat is trying to eat and she's trying to stroke it. She's happy that the cat is letting her. She even gives her a name, "Caroline".

Tia told her Daddy that we need to buy the cat and cat food. I remember when Tia was young and she cries at the top of her lungs because we don't want to give her cat food for breakfast. Those are for Mum's cat that comes to our house. They never come now after Dad died.

Cats In Turkey

When we were in Turkey, dogs and cats are everywhere. And I'm saying it nicely as even if we don't own any, we love them. We are not that sensitive. In the hotel that we stayed in, there are a couple of cats and a dog too.

Tia and Jigz enjoy their company. It even sits in the chair while we're eating. They are well-behaved and won't jump and eat your food. The staff will take them away but they always come back. They worry that it will bother us but we told them were fine with them around.

When we went to Marmaris, they are everywhere too. We went to eat in KFC and the cat is having a snooze at one of the comfy seats. Oh, they are living the dream!

Went to Jeep Safari and dogs are everywhere too. And Tia and Jigz can't help but pet them every time they see one.

Went for a walk near the beach and the dog is barking "Hello!" to us. And we bark back.

Oh, they simply love dogs and cats but I know they should be cautious too. I told them always ask the owner first if they can pet them. Ask permission. Some owners don't want their pets to be stroked by strangers. And some may bite them but kids don't think that way. They only knew it was "cute".

But aren't they just?
