"Feline Friends of Jordan" by Christian Bevilacqua

Major cities within the Middle East are regarded as paradise for cat-lovers due to the overwhelming presence of cats and widespread respect for them. From Fez to Tabriz, cats are loved, well-fed, and adored within their respective communities. Amman, Jordan is no different, with cats frequenting most cafes and street corners accompanied by lots of food and pets by local Jordanians. If you need a serotonin boost, admire the photos below of some cats that I have seen over the span of my semester abroad!

Christian is a student at Syracuse University and studied abroad in Jordan on the Amideast Area and Arabic Language Studies program in Spring 2023.
