Cats in Kuwait

suicide2

Cats in Kuwait are suicidal. Someone some long time ago gave them the illusion that cats really had 9 lives, that they could survive a car tire running over them, it probably was a dog. I don’t know if this only happens in Kuwait but cats are weird. I’d be extra cautious when entering our area because any second some crazy maniac cat will come running out of the bushes in front of me. From a distance I can see it standing on the sidewalk staring straight ahead, I would slow down to give it time to cross the road, and does it cross NO. It waits until I am close enough and then runs like hell to the other side. Even if I flash my head lights continuously, it doesn’t seem to take notice! ‘La wala laman’ they stand in the middle of the road and won’t move, I would turn my car away from it ‘3ameti ma tabe tet7arak!!’ then I would see it in my rear-view mirror crossing. I’ve seen people don’t give a damn, they would just simply run over them. I mean they are crazy cats and do have a death wish but you don’t have to make it your job to grant it, just leave them be. ‘Yama’ I hit the brakes so hard just to avoid sending a cat to the other side of this world. I don’t know what’s the solution, make cats be more car accident aftermath aware, a campaign addressed to the naïve species of cats: Believe it or not your 9 lives count for nothing when a 1 ton car runs over you no matter what the legend is. Maybe, just maybe this will help tackle the problem.
