Street Cat Photography from Pokhara, Nepal. Three Cat Stories about Pure Love, Wisdom, and Reproduction

 I already posted images of [an amazing cat](https://peakd.com/hive-187635/@x-rain/how-i-won-over-a-hotel-cat-in-pokhara-nepal) from Pokhara (along with her tabby admirer). This kitty:  Since then, I have met more cats on the streets of Pokhara, and it's time to show them to the audience here (as well as on Reddit in my [street cat photography](https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetCatsOfTheWorld/) community). # Love Tabbies with slight orange shades dominate in Pokhara. So meeting a graybie was surprising and joyful.  The kitty didn't get scared of me, was confident, and obviously was on his way to adventures in the nearby corn field, and, despite my attempts to attract, he didn't want to change his plan, showing purposefulness developed beyond his years.  Soon he jumped down into the sea of greenery and dived into the world of scents and bitter herbal tastes.  And I continued watching him until he disappeared in the corn thickets.  2-3 weeks later, I spotted him a couple of times on my way to a grocery shop and back to the guesthouse; however, each time I had no camera with me. Recently, I saw him again through a gap in the yard gates. Soon, I noticed a man in the yard, to whom I explained I wanted to photograph his amazing pet... And the man couldn't help boasting with his gray treasure:  Look how the graybie is obeying his human and, at the same time, how calm he is... He has a great family, this graybie! And look at the man's face... We really underestimate the connection between humans and pets - this type of love is maybe the purest on Earth. Zero social coercion, zero pragmatic calculations, just pure joy of living next to another living being.  # Wisdom A bulky camera is sometimes an annoying thing. You have it with you and you don't see any cats on your way; then you leave it at home, you meet cats... 😡 But in this story it was slightly different. I decided to have a walk in the area where cats live and mounted a bulk telephoto lens on my camera. And I didn't meet cats, lol. I went to a shop to buy groceries, bought a ton of veggies, eggs, 2 bottles of water.... and I was coming back with hands holding bags, and then I noticed her:  😡 I was just mad with this shit - I see this cat only when I am loaded as a camel, and my camera is in the backpack, buried under 2 kg of tomatoes and eggs (slightly exaggerated, lol!) I dropped my bags on the road and started quickly getting prepared, hoping the kitty wouldn't leave too soon. And here we are:  Yes, these are South Asian kitties - graceful and elongated - quite a common type of body. ![DSC_6982.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/pea […]
