Ottawa
It's certainly a nice city, a beautiful place to walk around especially the Parliament ... and the cat sanctuary.
Am not a cat person actually as I am more a dog person ... but I do like the cat sanctuary. I even bought a cat food in the market as donation
One question though, why there are lots of "beggars" asking for "change"? And they don't look homeless to me.
So whenever someone asks "Do you have change". I just reply, "Yep, I do" and continue walking

Be careful when you say "Yep" and just keep walking. There are too many loonies who would take that personally and may do something harmful.
What I say is that I tithe in my church and they are welcome to go find food and donations there. I give them the address because most of these "beggars" are in it just for the cash. And I know that for a fact because I worked at a homeless shelter and many of them spoke about the money they made. Some up to $100+ for the day.

I agree 100% with, Ed. Never you try saying that in nyc.
Did you say 'cat'?

Yeppers, cats are good little pets! I've had a few in my time.

Ed, I don't like cats actually, but I feel bad for the abandoned ones. Thankfully, there are some people who are taking care the stray cats.
I also feel bad with real homeless people who cannot afford their food but not for any lazy person who dresses well, and they do look a very well fed person. So whenever I pass a person who asks for food, I always give him/her my sandwich which I always have with me.

Hi Lachicabonita
Yep, lots of stray cats in the cat sanctuary near Parliament building in Ottawa. If you are a cat person, you will be in heaven. The cats are well fed too.
I love the wild squirrels there more and they are sharing the cat food
