Kitties! (Christian, Christ, muslims, easter)

Cats have always been a visible part of Bosnia and Herzegovina's culture. They're not sacred or anything of this nature, but they're everywhere. Wild cats live on the streets of most every city, town and village and they often community pets of sorts - with several old women on each block that they regularly visit for milk, food, and some loving attention.

As in most countries, I assume, Bosnia and Herzegovina's cats are mainly mixed breed. This is a big contrast to our dogs, which come in purebred varieties like the Bosnian Tornjak Sheepdog - which recently won the most prestigious prize for dogs in the world, but I'm not into that sort of thing so I have no idea what it's called - I just remember reading that bit. However, cats here usually have much more Eastern influence in their appearance because we're farther east. So here is a look at some Bosnian kitties!
