Squeaky the cat is a local celebrity in Gračišće, a hilltop village in Istria, Croatia, but not for the reasons you might suspect. She's originally from Bangalore, India, where she was an avid hunter. Her owners brought her to Gračišće to come and live with them. This is seen as odd and amusing by the locals, because in Croatia cats and dogs are often not allowed inside the house
and there are clear limits on how affectionately pets are treated. You can read squaky's complete story here.
Love those. Have a serene and easy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for featuring my South Indian kitty Squeaky! Squeaky has been enjoying the sunshine today and has just settled down for a nap. And thank you dear readers for all the comments!
ReplyDeleteSqueaky looks well cared for and very content.
ReplyDeleteThe streets are so clean. Squeaky looks fat and happy. People here don't usually have pets either. I think that's not really done in nations where people are struggling to buy food for themselves. Lovely pics!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. Love cats, Love this blog:-)
ReplyDeleteCats don't belong in the home? Don't we build homes for cats and they let us live in them because we have thumbs?
ReplyDeleteCalico cats are and always will be my favourite.
Squeaky is such a beautiful kitty! I didn't know people in Croatia look cats and dogs in such way.
ReplyDeleteSqueaky a bien de la chance et c'est tant mieux, car elle profite d'un statut privilégié !
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy story for Squeaky! I'm going to go read her story next. It's too bad about most cats and dogs in Croatia. I love her selfie!
ReplyDeleteA lovely cat again.

ReplyDeleteSqueaky is beautiful! Even though her owners are seen as being odd, we are glad she gets to stay inside, where it's safer! :)
ReplyDeleteThere are limits on affections towards pets? I would not do well there! I live for belly rubs!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved hearing about this kitty. Croatia is one of the few places our humans have visited where they met lots of kitties and have photos of them. Thanks for joining our Sunday Selfies blog hop. Hope you will return weekly. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteInteresting about how cat's and dogs are viewed differently in Croatia. I would love if you would share this on my linky, This is Wherever Wednesday, going up tomorrow morning. That's just the kind of interesting cultural tidbits we share there. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love her! Beautiful face! Beautiful eyes! Beautiful fur!
ReplyDeleteI love that shot of the cat with the stone walls/houses in the background. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful cat and so interesting to read how different the customs are there.
