During the travels in Andalucia the main mission has been spotting and feeding furry homeless friends. Have been training the eyes and the mind for a long time, in order to get some nice videos and photos.
They seem to have some extra instincts, where thinking about them makes them run and hide. So it is pretty challenging, the black cat living in an abandoned building even started hissing, while offering some tuna.
A few steps back behind the wall and pushing the can closer resulted in a happy cat, perhaps my new cat shirt was a bit frightening in the beginning. Understanding animal behavior can help in interpreting humans too, especially when trained to think one thing and saying the opposite.
The loss of trust in humans due the irrational fear of an invisible enemy and hiding expressions behind a piece of cloth is still there, so mostly communicating with a trustworthy friend and spending time in parks.
Later in the night stopped for some special tapas, tuna with mango in Mojito sauce was delicious, but another dish was too hard to chew, in the end they even tried to steal 15 euros by giving back 5 instead of 20. Caught on camera too, so must be the worst decision when tourism has almost stopped totally.
Cats do not think about nationalities or looks, if they sense a good human being, they do like them. Sometimes even making poses, or simply kind of ignore, even walking nearby quietly.
There used to be more cats in Huerto de Orive park, where some pomegranates are starting to get ripe. Two of them were chilling in the shadows, it gets quite hot in the evening.
Dry 40 degrees inland climate might be too much for most Finnish people, but got used to it already. Walking in the sun makes the immune system really strong, last time got sick during the full lockdown in Malaga, lack of nutrient-rich food and the sun combined with loss of hope for humanity did what was planned all along.
Another inspiring thing is seeing some scribbles on the wall telling things how they actually are. The youth seems to be aware, but the paramilitary forces are a huge threat, combined with surveillance of online messaging apps and strict censorship.
Luckily have met some people using Hive, so there is still hope. Lies piling up makes the house of cards fall down, so far Spain has not implemented the Facist passports, like the neighboring EU states. Really hope it stays that way!
