Kittu: A Kanpuriya Kat !!

Kanpur is an industrial town in Uttar Pradesh. It is more famous of its reckless traffic and diverse pollution scene. I have my maternal relatives in Kanpur and I visit them often. After observing this town for a decade, I am sure that there is chaos and filth almost everywhere in Kanpur. In recent years, many malls and multiplexes have sprung up.

Not many of you know, I mostly blog about stuff which I like and generally do not slap my views for stuff I dislike. But still there are many reasons for which I visit this town. Food is on top of that list. During my last four years of Engineering at Lucknow, I made countless day trips to Kanpur from Lucknow just to gobble down all the awesome Kanpuriya street food. Apart from treating my taste buds, sometimes I have had beautiful encounters here, mostly with girls of such beauty that if they cat walk on the ramp they will shake the fashion world.

During my visit to Kanpur last month, I met a pet tomcat at my nani's home. He is our neighbour's friendly male cat. His name is Kittu. I am a crazy feline lover and I instantly fell in love with Kittu darling. Kittu comes 3-4 times every day to search for rats in our home. I wonder if he have ever found one. He loves it when I cuddle him. Everytime he sights me, he comes to me and start rubbing his head against my foot. I think its his way to tell me that he wants to cuddled. A very cute, smart and adorable fellow. Never touches any edible item unless its given to him. Never unnecessarily gets on to bed or sofa unless called upon. And yes, he is highly photogenic. He even posed for me. Clicked some nice shots, check them out.





Looking forward to meet him again. I hope he finds a rat some day ;)
