Here is a video made by Ahsan of his cats 50/50 and Laila playing on what appears to be the roof terrace of his home. I have been to Pakistan and India so I can almost smell and sense the place. There is a distinctly different sensory experience in Pakistan or India compared to London, UK! That is obvious I suppose but it is very real.
Here is Ahsan’s description:
Here are my two raised rescued kittens, who are residing with me and this is 6:30 AM early morning when I have brought my LAILA (14 weeks old kitten) the white one out of her protection cage to play with my 6 months old kitten 50/50. They love and enjoy to wrestle and play with each other daily and I stand aside to watch them. They are happy with each other and both female felines are demanding to each other to be in this place with us. ENJOY!
I love this video because we are able to hear Ahsan speak to us and we are also able to better sense the surroundings of a far away and foreign place (for those of us living in the UK and USA).
But the overriding reason why I love the video is because we can see Ahsan’s cats really enjoying themselves together. They are buddies providing play and companionship; a little island of cat bliss amongst what we in the West, judging by Ahsan’s comments, perceive as a pretty harsh environment for the domestic and stray cat. Quite a contrast.
Thanks to Ahsan, 50/50 and Laila have as good a life as a domestic cat can have, anywhere, except perhaps for the lower availability of veterinary care in Pakistan.
This is where Islamabad is:
Oh for sure Michael, It’s the most loveliest thing seeing Kittens play and learn things. I just love the joy seeing them play so happily.
Kittens are so lovely when they are playing. I remember how Playful and Cute Jasmine was as a kitten so full of energy. I mean she’s still a kitten in a way as she’s just 8 months.
There is hardly anything more charming and amusing than seeing kittens play. They make us smile. Smiling is good for us.
I LOVE THE VIDEO.KITTENS PLAYING ,IT JUST
WARMS MY HEART.I HAVE NT HAD ANY KITTENS IN MANY YEARS.ONLY GROWN CATS .PERHAPS SOMEONE WILL DROP OFF SOME SOMEDAY.I WILL PUT SOME OF MY KITTIES ON HERE WHEN MY SON COMES HOME SOON TO SHOW ME HOW.
Thank you so much about the video and I hope that your son will get kitties and the joy we cat lovers can have with these babies (cats n kittens), God bless you and may you be blessed in all aspects of your life, amen <3
What an ideal location for cats to romp and play! Everything around the place had a calming effect. Peaceful. Do you live on a quiet street off to yourself? I really enjoyed that. Thank you so much.
Yes a nice protective roof terrace in Islamabad isn’t a bad home for a domestic cat 😉
From Coming from a Small Town and a Small Country. I can really get lost looking on Google Maps I’ve done it looking at Cities where some of you all live. Looks amazing though. Was sad to hear about the two kitties. It must be so horrible. I just Loved the Video your a natural. I’m so pleased you found Poc. Your articles are always so wonderful and its great to see a different side of the world that you dont usually see.
Thank you so much Kylee, I was waiting for your comments, actually Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan and it is a very modern city. It is a huge city. And very well developed other than other cities of Pakistan but the people have been settled here from very low villages and towns and are not very well educated. It seems to me that they are just status complex in their own but actually they are ZERO and ignorant.
Hi there, sorry I was late replying. Been busy here having extra people in house 🙁 I go away in a few days for some respite. Which I hope will be fine. Yes I couldn’t believe the Size of some Maps I remember looking the size of Switzerland and was overwhelmed how big it was. Anyway getting back to Cats I think you do an amazing job. The Cats here are adjusting to life having other people in the house. Thankfully Only one more week to go I hope. I love seeing other Maps of where people come from as its nice seeing what its like over people places. I think the Cats will be fine here while I’m away. Well I hope they will. My friend Rob will look after them. I’ve noticed the lady that’s staying here is getting better of taking notice and the Cats seem abit happier. Though Jasmine still not sure.
Looking at photos of Islamabad I am very surprised at how modern and Western looking it is. I have some misconceptions to rectify. I drove through Pakistan in 1971 and it has changed a lot. But I am sure that some parts of Pakistan have not modernised as you say. It is like India in that there is a widening gap between the wealthy and the poor, the big city life and the rural life.
Thanks for sharing. As ever,you send us wonderful articles. Bless you.
Thank you, too. And God bless you amen!
