Day 5: A Cat on Every Corner
I tried to capture better pictures of the 5-6 cats we saw on our walk home last night, but this is the only photo that turned out to be any good. I walked passed this cat nap and couldn't help but take a picture. There are cats everywhere here, and they almost speak English in their Indonesian-language cry, "meong, meong, meong!" Cats in the garage, lurking around restaurants, on the streets, everywhere. Indonesians seem to like cats (especially as opposed to dogs, which are not commonly seen and are almost never pets as it is culturally/religiously not acceptable). These cats make themselves at home almost anywhere and are fun to watch and encounter. Even more fun, the word for cat is cute in Indonesian - "kucing."
