Trek with a Cat in Rila Mountain, Bulgaria

"In the mountains there aren't bad people", someone once told me, and I absolutely believe in this. Whether it is because I believe in it, and that creates vibrational mismatch between me and the bad people in the mountains, I don't know. But although I've hiked alone a lot in the most obscure mountain places, sometimes without meeting anyone for the whole day, fortunately I've never had any problems with people or animals. Actually it is exactly the opposite. I had only amazing experiences (Thank you, Universe). One time a stranger even offered me his shoes in a thunderstorm, because I was barefoot, and he was worried about me. That was so nice, I was really touched, even though I was ok and didn't need shoes :). I have a lot of stories like this one, but today my story is about a cat. I learned that there aren't bad cats in the mountains also :D

The most sweet, loving, cute , caressing cat, that I've ever met. Maybe it is because of the mountain air :). We began our trek from Kirilova Polyana in Rila mountain and from there after an hour of walking we reached Ribni ezera Hut. It was a cold foggy day, during the week, and there wasn't anyone in the hut. I think that the keeper of the hut comes only during the weekends. So we didn't find the keeper, but we found a sweet trekking friend, who joined us and walked with us for hours.

She was doing this all the time.

She was even helping with the map ;)

I wish I could take her with me, but who would prefer living in a box, if the whole Rila mountain is your home. She wouldn't be happy :).
