Wrong. They don't even have collars. By the way, if the chap who goes away for a walk twice a day so wished, he could run off and never come back again. He knows where his home is.

Oh yes... we did come across a ref to a mummified and domesticated cat found in an early burial in CY ... and yes the world's first ever.

we had a pet donkey when i was a child, and hunting dogs, there were many cats we had as friends, there is something special about them worth admiring, because they took care of themselves. when i am in Cyprus, i like to visit Tekke, because the cats there are exotic, not just warm and friendly.

When people think of cat abuse they immediately think of skinny, malnourished, tick infested kittens, but this is also cat abuse…

Cats are meant to be cats just like the Cyprus feral cat, not monstrosities with chronic behavioral problems for one’s selfish entertainment.

This is the Cyprus Forum.
There are other normal forums, but people mistake this one as standard.
Apologies.

No, that only happens when you foolishly feed them.

Feral cats are very good hunters and have plenty or work to do here especially in the summer when insects swarm so you shouldn't feed them or they'll get lazy.

Turkey has the exact same problem with TCs. :mrgreen:

Maybe it's because that place is fishy.
