Actually that was the highlight of my visiting there. We would go to one of the fish shops and they would sell pieces and parts of other fish, it was actually labeled for cats. And then we go to the Roman ruins, for some reason they always lived there. And fed them. There were lots of Mama di Gati, little old ladies, that would make their daily Trek to feed the cats. And most of the Cities started a spay and neuter program, so they may not be as backwards as we think. I doubt if they are as backwards as east Tennessee. I don’t think people there would tolerate such animal cruelty. Even Venice tried some birth control for the pigeons. Pigeons were a big tourist draw but there was getting to be too many of them, with pigeon poo everywhere. So they just wanted to minimize the number. I never heard if it worked.
Oh that sounds delightful!
So the kitties are well fed, taken care of by kind Italian ladies and tourists. That is very nice - and would be a wonderful way to spend a few hours, especially since they supply the food!
Now that you mention that, I think I’ve seen clips of shop owners who regularly feed the kitties that wander by. They do seem to be more thoughtful of the animals. Very nice.
Pray for JD Vance. Check it out around 22 seconds. Looks like the same SS babe that couldn’t holster her gun.
