Cats in Malta! (And other random things)

Hi everyone!

I hope you have all been doing well! Last night, I saw a ton of stray cats and wanted to talk about them. When we were touring the Msida main campus, our guide said that students fed stray cats they saw and it evolved from there. While walking around, I have also seen random spots on the sidewalk that have bowls with food and water. It is amazing to see so may people taking care of and feeding all of the roaming cats. For the cats, they are not just homeless because the whole island is their home with  its residents stepping in to aid them. It's very different than from back home, where I do not see very many stray cats. 

On another random note, I saw the International Space Station fly over Malta. It was visible with the naked eye! Here are some neat facts about it. It travels at 25,000 km/hr, orbits the earth 15 times a day (astronauts see a sunrise and sunset every 90 minutes), and weighs over 400 tonnes. It was really awesome to see it flying over in the night sky. It went by pretty fast. I almost missed it!
