Yes, CY cats are designed for their CY environment... skinny and short-haired, practically no fur at all.

A very, very, very long history of cats on CY... indeed there is evidence that the earliest known pet cat in the world ever, was a CY cat...

As to cat welfare, the CY Feline Society may be able to give info...

Welcome to CF Greenpeace.

Miaow

Many thanks bill for your Cy hospitality.

You're very welcome GP ... but ain't a CY ... am an occasional visitor to CY and a sort of Englishman who just happens to have CY genes, but have undergone gene replacement therapy ... which may go a way to explaining the politeness and hospitality ... unlike the rest of this scummy and very impolite lot...

... oh and someone who acquired a new best friend a year or so ago in the shape of a cat.... miaow again.

Hi! I'm new here on this forum and I like asking questions. So, here you go the first one:

Here in where I live till soon there're many stray cats because people dump rubbish casually and many times with a lot of leftover food. Those cats look dirty skinny and ugly, really.

I notice while visitng Cyprus there're also many cats which I haven't seen in many other Europeans cities. Can someone explain how so and why there's no entity/organization taking care of the look of the city in this regard?

Thanks for any comments.

Hello
Please respect our cat culture They are skinny because the climate is warmer than other European countries. If they look particularly unwell, then it would be nice if you gave them a little something to eat - but they are NOT meant to be fat like pampered moggies.

Cats have been a part of Cyprus' landscape for thousands of years:

They are looked over by their very own saint - Saint Nicholas ...

Hello GIG - thanks for your explanation.

I didn't mean any disrepect of CY culture. But is it considered part of your culture if something, in this case, the cats, make the city look dirty? IMHO, a more constructive thought would be to find a solution to these over-populated cats, thus helping to make the city look cleaner and nicer. This would also attract more tourists, miaow?

Btw, I'm very impressed by the message in your signature lines. How is this possibly real in 2011? ...Ok, I'll go slow with my questions.

There is no illegal occupation by British Troops as the SBA are estblished and internationally recognised by treaty, including by the EU - the SBA are NOT a part ofvthe ROC and not even a part of vthe EU but a special protocol ensures that the residents have EU rights - more than can be said for the illegally occupied North -

Mate you have the bases on the brain, either that or you replied to the wrong thread.

read O, opps I man GIG'sa signature line, which is refered to in the post and thus a legitimate target of response The SBA have never been a part of the ROC so British Troops cannot be occupying the ROC.

Lets otherwise leave GIG to sit there stroking her pussy.

Well, technically, she is correct, they are both here occupying the ROC not at the Republics ivitation, not request.

Both here by force, becasue we cannot do anything to remove them. irrespective of the 'sovereign' bit, that was forced upon the republic in 1960.

The UK did not discover cyprus to claim it hers, it was negotiated by another oppressor, so, yeah, she does have a point, technically.

Hello again GreenPeace

Pleased to see you share something with our feline friends - curiosity

Firstly, the cats do keep the cities/towns clean even if they don't look as well groomed themselves. They keep vermin at bay; rats, mice, snakes etc. If they kept a few tourists away, well, that wouldn't be a bad thing either If you value the ethics of your namesake, then air-miles are a no-no.

Secondly, re. my signature. Since this is not the CyProb section, I'll keep it general - although B25 has explained it aptly. Both Turkey and UK are knocking on the EU's door for benefits, whilst contributing very little/nothing back. "Coincidentally" they both keep thousands of troops in Cyprus with the aim of keeping a foot for leverage in the EU (and further) via occupation of one of the most geopolitically significant outposts for thousands of miles. The RoC is blackmailed by these military powers into suspending its authority over its own territories. So I second you when you ask, "How is this possibly real in 2011?"

The EU needs to remove both these obstacles to peace, and prosperity and liberate the whole of Cyprus.

No she is not and neither are You . By virtue of the 1959 Treaties the SBA were nver a part of the ROC, as it came into existance in 1960. They should be but legally they are not AND NEVER HAVE BEEN.

STUD, you are playing with words here. Replace RoC (as of 1960) with Cyprus government. I still maintain that regardless of your definitions, the SBA do not belong to the British, the have been taken by force as we cannot remove them. Simples. Has we had the neceesary might, things would have been very different.

I am not discussing the rights or wrongs of their presence only the fact that they are here and ought not be unless under the current governments say so.

Can't make it any easier than that.

More Anti British lies from GIG - Britain is a net contributor to the EU and allways has been- currently to the Tune of Euro 3.85 Billion a year or EU 62.7 per head - That can be contrasted with for example Greece (beloved of GIG) which was a net beneficiary currently about Euro 3 Billion or Euro 299 per person.

Further the SBA are NOT AND NEVER HAVE BEEN a part of the ROC. The British Troops are legally present on British not Cypriot Sovereign Territory, as recognised by Treaty.
