Tunisia’s cats are predominantly feral with a very small percentage adopted as indoor pets. Although Tunisian street cats live in close proximity to humans, they approach only when food is presented and shy away from being petted or handled. With their svelte frames and quick reflexes, these Mediterranean cats mislead the casual onlooker into believing that they are malnourished. Their thin bodies perhaps a nod to their elegant Egyptian ancestors, are likely a product of an active battle for survival in a hot climate.
