Cats and Dogs

A few of nights ago, I went out with a friend to this area called Rek in the Chinatown area of Banda Aceh. Rek is an outdoor dining area surrounded by kaki-lima - literally translates into 5 legs. Kaki-lima are food carts and each food cart specializes in one kind of dish.

At the beginning of our meal, my friend commented on the cuteness of all the cats that were running around trying to beg for fish and chicken scraps. As we were finishing our meal, I heard this weird noise that was coming from underneath my chair. I thought it was two cats fighting over some scraps but then, I looked down and found 2 humping cats going at it. Definitely added to my dining experience.

Cats and dogs do not go under the knife here in Aceh and they roam and procreate as they wish. On the WFP compound, cute puppies run around and entertain diners. Here in my own backyard, I've got 3 new little kittens and they like to come into the office and explore. I found 2 of them hanging out outside of my porch the other morning. Cute stuff!
