Feline Fans, gather 'round! Did you know that in Alfama, Lisbon's oldest neighborhood, cats are revered for their role in preserving history? It's said that these street-smart felines have been keeping an eye out for the city's famous Fado music since the 19th century. In fact, locals believe that cats have a special affinity for the soulful sounds of Fado, and will often gather around street performers to listen intently. Who knew our whiskered friends had such a deep connection to this Portuguese cultural treasure? And did you know that Alfama's narrow streets are still home to many feral cat colonies today? It seems these cats have found a purr-fect harmony with the city's rich musical heritage.
