I love the way online culture is slowly adopting a hieroglyphic-type system of words indicated by pictures. No, I’m not talking about emojis, I’m talking about the fact that I just saw a particular red-tinted image of Barack Obama’s eyes used in a conversation and read it as the words “then perish” with no hesitation.
I like to think the souls of the past lived on in the stray cats inhabiting the remains.
Fun fact: stray cats in Rome are not considered “strays” but “free cats” and they have legal citizenship of the city. They mostly live in the Roman ruins in the city and have legal rights and protection and are taken care of by thousands of specialized volunteers who make sure they’re healthy and fed. A lot of them also get sterilized and there are initiatives to get them adopted.
I guess cats everywhere have a kinship with ancient ruins 🙂
