Hi Velobambina; you'd spent nice time here. I feel glad. Yeah; really we do love to meet and host people. I think this is Turkish people's genetics.
We like cats but this isn't a spesific interest. We love them as much as you. About the Ataturk belief; yeah this must be a mistake; because I haven't heard a belief like that before. Sure it must be an old wive's tale.
