Mundek

This week, I have been taking care of Dr. Banaś’s cat, Mundek. They have cats in Poland. Which has gotten me to thinking, is Mundek a Polish cat? He’s not a Polish breed of cat. I know that there are Polish dog breeds, horse breeds, sheep breeds, chicken breeds, and rabbit breeds, from which one could argue national identity, but I don’t know if there is a cat breed that has originated here; or if there is one, whether Mundek is of that breed. Whether polskość is bred in his blood. Probably not, he just looks like a regular cat, a universal cat. What, if anything, makes him different from the American cats I’ve superintended in my life? Oh, yes: he plays soccer.
