Sorry, I never addressed this earlier; her 'owners' are a spinster who doesn't let any animals in her house, but loves all the Athens street animals (as do I) but she kind of encourages them to congregate around her house, and consequently ours. I don't mind it with the dogs because I'm a dog bloke, dogs don't intrude on my vegetable patch, dump puppies on my driveway and shit on my quad bike. But she (the neighbour) is also 'old school' Greek and they can take or leave most animals without any sort of emotional attachment like a typical Brit may have. It's 2 stereotypes in one, but I've always said, stereotypes are generally based on types. Experience has shown me little to question this theory.

Do they just see food when they look at a cute baby animal, I know nothing about Greeks so this is not a put down or speculation, I don't think I ever have met a Greek

OK since you mentioned it why are Greeks in general cold when it comes to animals?

TBH I don't think it's a Greek thing, it's just being seen from a Brit perspective. Brits are the ones with the 'odd' view of animals.

sexist

Have you thought about home schooling
