Wednesday's Funny Scene
Jun. 13th, 2007 10:42 pmRick and I were sitting in the outdoor coffee shop at the Ayasofya and we saw a black-and-white cat, obviously attention starved, rubbing up against things. As it crossed the courtyard, it ignored us, but it rubbed up against a man's leg.
You know cats -- they ignore the people trying to summon them (as Rick and I were) and go for the least likely victim. The cat finishes its walk across the courtyard and makes a beeline for a couple sitting on a low wall (barely more than curb height, really). The cat rubs vigorously against the side of a veiled Muslim woman who was so startled she jumped about eight feet away, staring suspiciously at the cat.
Poor kitty just wanted love, you know?
We gave kitty some attention, but the poor woman refused to sit back down.
