my little garbage cat

street cats have a hard life in Korea, Koreans generally do not like street cats and/or are scared of them. Nakji is the third street cat i have rescued. He was found in a garbage can when he was about 2 weeks old and I took him from the vet at the feral age of 4 weeks. he has been a feral pain in my ass since but i love him to death.

    We have the same problem too, here in Indonesia. Meanwhile Indonesian people are very proud with their Persia or Angora cat & take a walk at car free day
