I've noticed a feline theme running through this town. Statues in the fields...
and drawings in the buildings...
A MoKs friend has said that one of the head teachers in the village school is obsessed with cats. All the students draw cats. He said this was one among several examples of a curious matriarchy underlying the village (MoKs was founded and is run by a woman, Evelyn Müürsepp - though the mayor is a man). The men, he says, unable to fit into society, drink and drink and drink (we've seen plenty examples of this).

I'm not sure of this theory, but it wouldn't surprise me. Though amongst the chickens we were living with, the roosters killed all three hens. Micro-cultures are wonderful...

I feel a deep kinship to that kat.
There's a "cat museum" in the basement of the school filled with cat figurines and icons. On the wall is a paper which lists: "10 reasons why cats are better than men".
I suspect this is the room where they induct local girls into the matriarch.
great read. I would love to follow you on twitter.
