cats

Slightly off topic, but: This image reminded me of when I was a kid, and I was in my father's village, me and my older brother climb to the roof area (like via stairs, not actual climbing), the roof is a flat area, and we hopped over tk a neighbor's house which was angles/tilted like shown in this photo. There was a window (either a roof window or skylight) from the top to let in sunlight, I could see inside their house lol I was afraid to fall off the side or crash into the glass window and fall inside.

I can't recall any cats from my memory, but I was told that the villages all had cats to keep out mice. They are mostly outdoor cats that people just feed occasionally to keep them coming back and continue getting rid of mice.

I remember, in one of my parent's villages (probably in my mother's village), I was just chilling and lying on the ground, while adults chatting sitting in chairs outside, I gazed upon the stars, according to my memory, it was probably the last time I ever saw a clear night sky, since in Urban China, its practically impossible to see the stars, too much pollution and barely any trees in the city. Even now in the US, its very difficult to see the stars. I mean... I love technology, but maybe we should have a holiday to just turn off all the lights once a year, just to see the night sky, like just for fun maybe.
