Cats, cats, and more cats... Actually there were only two cats being fed dumplings by some other students and I decided to take pictures of the little critters. I swear I don't have a cat fetish.
Also, the rumor about the Chinese eating cats-- least not in Shanghai. These are strays and if you got food, they will come up and beg cutely. They wouldn't do it if there was a danger of being eaten I think.
