Discussion Some people here think temple goers hate cats. That's absolutely not true.
I've recently been on a temple tour, to some of the oldest and most visited temples in India. I found cats straying around in each and every temple, and seriously nobody bothered them. Except some kids once in a while wanting to play with them. I wish I had captured them all but phones weren't allowed in some places and sometimes I was too slow to pull out the phone.
I found the whole situation nice it reminded me of istanbul where cats just chill around in public places.
In one of the temples a cat mom and kittens were also being fed non-vegetarian food, which I thought was really considered of the temple staff and a wholesome thing. You'd think cat lovers would first thing get happy seeing it. Disappointed to see all the negative comments on my other post about this.
