Splitske mačke (The cats of Split)

As you walk through the streets of Split, there’s an unexpected delight that adds a touch of magic to the beautiful Adriatic city—the charming cats of Split. These feline little friends seem to be living their best lives, lounging in the warm sun, and welcoming passers-by with a friendly purr. The Split cats are very friendly will come up to you and snuggle up on your legs and want you to pat them on the head.

The cats of Split have made the city their own, napping on market bags or taking a leisurely stroll through the fruit and vegetable stalls. Some have even become local celebrities, with stall owners befriending them, feeding them, engaging in friendly conversations and affectionately giving them cute names.

My own little cat encounter

My own encounter with a sweet little kitty near the Split bus stop became a heart-warming memory. Basking in the warm sunlight atop a concrete railing, this little charmer eagerly awaited attention. A gentle pat and a scratch under the chin were met with pure feline joy. As I walked away, the curious little cat followed, seeking more affection, creating a delightful connection.

Wandering and napping cats

The free spirited cats of Split gracefully wander around the city and sleep where ever they feel like it, finding cozy spots to curl up for a nice peaceful nap, or sitting nicely with their paws tucked in as they observe the world go by.

So, the next time you cross paths with one of Split’s lovely little cats, share a warm pat, exchange a friendly hello, and wave goodbye. You might just find a familiar feline friend as you continue to enjoy the unique charm of Split. #LetsGo2Cro #IdemoUHR #VisitSplit #SplitCats #ExploreCroatia
