Visitors of the Al Thuraya Astronomy Center are surprised by a group of adorable cats, who greet them at the entrance that is surrounded by beautiful flowers and accompany them to the entrance gate.

One of the visitors said that it was his children who drew his attention to this, as he noticed that these cats dealt kindly with everyone, and were racing to welcome them, which led him to ask about them with the management of the center.

A staff member of the center said that these cats were raised from a young age at the center and that the staff are committed to feeding and caring for them. The member also mentioned that the cats are familiar with dealing with the public. Despite the availability of traditional and electronic games at the center for children, they love playing with these pet cats.
