Urban Pets / #monomad challenge / [ING/ESP]

The photos 📸 are my entry to the #monomad contest from @monochromes and @brumest.

Greetings, Hivers.

My friend @muhammadhalim was telling me that cat posts tend to get more views than others, and honestly, he is right. Posting pictures of cats on Instagram is almost a guaranteed like, because these furry little creatures are simply easy to love.

Seeing them on the streets is always a reason to smile. A few decades ago, cats in Cuba unfortunately became very scarce. I even came to think that they might eventually disappear, since some people were actually eating them. Fortunately, that practice seems to be a thing of the past.

Here is a small selection of these affectionate and furry little friends that can still be found wandering the streets.

I hope you enjoy them.

Saludos hivers.

Mi amigo @muhammadhalim me comentaba que las publicaciones de gatos tenían más vistas que otras, y la verdad es que tiene razón. Poner fotos de gaticos en Instagram es casi tener garantizado el like, y es que esos peludos son fáciles de amar.

Encontrarse con ellos por la calle siempre es motivo de alegría. Hace unas décadas, los gatos en Cuba lamentablemente escasearon muchísimo. Llegué a pensar que incluso podían llegar a extinguirse, ya que algunas personas llegaron a alimentarse de ellos. Por suerte, esa práctica parece estar en desuso.

Aquí les dejo una pequeña selección de estos peludos y cariñosos compañeros que todavía podemos encontrar por las calles.

Espero que las disfruten.

Your friend is certainly absolutely right, not only did it appeal to me, as someone who loves cats, but they generally inspire affection and are loved by many people. That practice from the past is truly regrettable, and I’m very glad it’s no longer carried out, although I can understand that extreme hunger can drive people to do certain things.

Your photographs are beautiful, especially the second one, that kitten is staring intently and makes the perfect model!! Thank you so much for your work, a big hug!
