So I learned something I never knew about Indian people today (not native american). They fear cats.
My girl has this black cat who she had left inside the apartment for way too long ,so when I went over to her place today she opened the door and the cat sprinted out - which is something cats usually do, never seen a cat that liked to stay indoors. Anyways, I stood outside her apartment for a bit while she grabbed her cellphone as we were getting ready to leave and go out. There's this group of Indian people who live about 2 or 3 doors down from her who always just chill outside, I dont think they drink, or go clubbing (even though they dress like they do), I dont know what the fuck they do, but I see them congregate out there every Friday. So anyways, my girl's cat trots over to them - they all scatter.I laugh.This cat of course has a playful spirit and chases after one of the guys, he yells (screams?). I laugh harder. So, I yell for the gf to come see this awesomeness.
She's like, "Oh shit, grab Midnight.These guys are scared of cats." I've never heard of this and I just stood there dumbfounded while they gave this cat room as if it was a time bomb ready to go off. Well, next the cat starts walking really slowly towards their apartment door (this whole time they were yelling at me and the girl to "Get the cat, Get the Cat")We started to go over and grab him and Midnight snuck inside their front door ,at this point they started yelling , "no no no no no!".I was laughing kind of uncontrollably like a goof ball when Indian people just start pouring out of this apartment. If the cat would have run upstairs, I'm sure they would have been jumping out the windows. My girlfriend apologizing the whole time runs into their apartment grabs the cat and runs out. After throwing the cat inside her place she went out and apologized to them some more. I stayed inside with the cat, I was still laughing myself to tears to do any good.I think they threatened to call the apartment owners and the managerial staff, and she felt really bad about the whole situation for all of ten seconds, then she joined me for a good laugh.
Anyways, thought this was the funniest shit I've seen in years and was curious if any Indian descent people here could clue me in on why the hate for cats. I plan on googling it more when I wake up in the morning as my initial search didnt turn up a whole lot.
Have any of the rest of you here witnessed anything like that?
