Just a cat sunbathing in Agha Bozorg Mosque's yard, Iran

In Iran cats are everywhere, unlike dogs which are considered to be dirty animals by islamic culture. Strangely enough, most cats avoid contact with humans, being wary and very careful. Even this chill guy run away from me when I approached him. Maybe Iranians mistreat them?

I didn't know what dogs are considered to be dirty animals by islamic culture. Now, the big advantage of cats is that they clean your house of rodents. Is that the advantage Iranians see? and as such, they respect that dirty work they must do and do not like to touch them?...Greetings @nameless-berk

I'm not an expert in islam and neither I want to be one. Just one more weird belief, on the same level with one, by which women must cover their hair.

Yes, certainly. Thanks for the reply friend @ nameless-berk

what causes a cat to fear when approached? are you not looking for the reason?

What are you trying to say?

are you looking for a reason why cats there are afraid of humans?

I watched a film about white cats in eastern countries. There is a breed that is many centuries old. Just forgot how nazyvaia.
These cats are very popular in Turkey. And buy a simple man this breed is very difficult. Export abroad is also prohibited.
