We moved from a place near to Budapest to a place near to Szeged. That’s something I’ve already written about. A lot of things are different here, but what surprised me the most is cats.
We don’t have cats. We don’t really like them. Most of our neighbours had cats at the place where we lived. I don’t know if cats leave their dirt at the place where they live (because I’ve never had a cat), but they do in the yard next to the place where they live. I don’t like to collect other people’s cats’ dirt. I don’t like having to go out to check for dirt in the yard before I let children play there. Here it’s different. It’s one thing that this place is very sandy. Thus it’s easier for cats to bury their dirt. I saw a cat burying its dirt here and it really surprised me the special attention that it paid to do it properly.
Another thing is when we leave the dumpster out for garbage trucks to collect and empty them. Some people leave plastic bags only, some put plastic bags next to their dumpster. In any case, the cats at the old place always used their nails to open the bags looking for something they could eat. It was annoying to see how fast the street became dirty because of this. Here? No plastic bags will be even touched by any cats, but left as is. Are they not hungry? Do they have more to eat in such a small village where we live? Don’t know. Just that cats are different.
