🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Poland, February 17th is 'Dzień Kota' (Cat Day). It's a day when animal shelters get extra attention and people share photos of their 'małe koty' online. There is an old belief that a cat should be the first to enter a new house to ensure prosperity and peace for the family. The poem 'Kot w pustym mieszkaniu' by Wisława Szymborska is one of the most famous Polish poems, dealing with grief from a cat's perspective. Warsaw has several 'Cat Cafes' (e.g., Miau Cafe) where 'małe koty' roam free while customers drink coffee.
