Current Affairs Prague society combats problem of stray cats on the streets

Visitors to Prague may notice that - unlike many other major cities - you very rarely see a stray dog on the streets here. Perhaps this is partly down to the fact that Czechs - as a nation of dog-lovers - are loath to leave an abandoned dog to fend for itself against the elements. Cats, unfortunately, don't seem to occupy the same special place in Czech hearts, and the number of stray felines roaming Prague's streets remains a persistent problem. The Prague Society for the Protection of Animals is one organisation tackling this issue. It runs a number of cat shelters around the city. We paid a visit to one of them.
