The cats in Dubrovnik, Croatia (which is in Europe, by the way), are cute but can be deadly.
I did not expect there to be so many cats. We saw them in all sorts of places. We saw them in the streets, under bushes, at the beach, laying under motorcycles, even under my brother’s chair at dinner. They were everywhere. Seeing them, I wanted to play with them. They were cute but when I got closer I saw some of them had bugs in their eyes. I felt badly for them. Others were cute but deadly.
Our first day in Dubrovnik I saw a mother cat laying down nursing her six babies. She was a tabby cat. Two of her babies were also tabbies. One was white and orange with stripes. I named him Peanut. He was my favorite. The other three were black. There were two other grownup cats lying nearby. I named the mommy Roxy.
One of the cats I saw with infected eyes I wanted to pet but my mom said not to touch it, so I didn’t. I named him Bruce Wayne.
On the same night, I was looking for cats with my sister. I saw a black and white cat. My sister told me not to pet it but I could not resist. It let me pet it on his head for three seconds. I was surprised when it whipped around and bit me! It was trying to grab on to me. Maybe it was trying to get me to leave it alone. I named it Pussy Cat.
On our way to dinner, in one of the stairways of Old Town, I saw a gray kitty. I named it Alfred. This is one of the only cats that was nice to me. He let me pet him and hold him.
I hope that we see more cats on our trip. By the way, my dad is allergic to cats. It is ironic that I’m writing a story about cats.
Graham! We love your story. Why are there so many cats in Dubrovnik??? Did you see any mice? 🙂
I liked your cat story!! Hope you’re having fun on your trip.
Miss you and can’t wait until you get back to Washington.
Hi,
Embarrassingly, my mom read your post in front of the entire family and my face turned red.
Thank you.
I will have lots of good stories to tell you when school starts. Hope you are having a good summer. What did you do this summer?
Graham
It’s been a busy summer! Swimming lessons at Whitworth, 🏊 swimming at a friend’s house a few times, zip lining through the woods, I had a water fight with my dad (Dad won 💦), read TONS of books and played Legos a lot. I got to ride on my uncle’s boat in Lake Couer d’Alene a few times. 🚤 One time I even rode down the Spokane River until the dam! When you get back you should come for a ride.
Next week I get to go to an art camp. 🎨
Hope you are having a great day and I can’t wait to hear your stories! 😸 (Look, it’s one of your Croatia cats.)
