It was for only teachers, and yes, it was banned, but I was kind of resourceful for VPNs and stuff.

But I made it and talked to her.

Are cats popular in Iran?

They are actually not an inside pet for most of the time.

Like 99% of the time.

Like here when I go to people's house, out of 10 people, there's at least two or three.

It's zero in my country.

It's so rare to be an inside pet.

Yeah.

It's just really hard to say this because the economy is so bad that people are just mostly thinking about making themselves like... Right.

It's just really hard to think about a pet.

Yeah, it's expensive.

It's another mouth to feed.

Okay, so here is the thing.

I actually said that it's because of my mother who got sick when she was pregnant.

And I actually did not know it's actually a disease that if a pregnant woman touches a cat, there's a chance there's a name for that.

So that's what my mom always told me about.

And that stuck with me, like cats are dirty.

And I said that.

So mostly it was because of my family.
