Cats do know the use of fire. A cat getting itself warm by the fire place in Salpa pass, 3800 mt altitude.

Way of life.
Almost in every place in world, I have seen animals scared of fire. They run away from a simple flame as do not know how to harness its energy. It has always been a sign of DANGER for them.

Was really amazed to see this cat, not planning to leave the fire place anytime soon. Temperature goes down to -20 degree Celsius in higher passes. Mostly mountain dogs and sheep are generally found in these harsh environments.

Nepal's remote areas truly welcomes with something amazing and rules diffing experiences.
Proud to be born among such a untouched natural beauties.
