11 Things Only Animal Lovers In Lebanon Would Understand

Are you an animal lover living in Lebanon? If so, then you’ll understand that there are most likely some things that only us furry friend fanatics can relate to.

1. You know every pet-friendly spot in Beirut

And if you don’t, click here. Thank us later.

2. You act like a delusional proud parent when it comes to your pets

“Wallah mbereh kalbe sa2alto eza baddo yekol w 3awa marten ka2anno 3am b elle eh bsharafik ma fi azka menno“

3. “Ma bheb l kleb” is a deal breaker

What do you mean you don’t like dogs?

4. Your response to “aymtan rah tjeeb/e wled?” is 3ende kaleb/bsayne

Not your conventional children but children, nonetheless.

5. You stop EVERYTHING you’re doing to just lovingly gaze at a dirty ass stray cat licking itself on Bliss

Infected eyeballs, white-turned-black fur…you know what they say: el 2erd b 3yoon emmo ghazel.

6. Your social media timeline strictly consists of animal content

Here are some dog-fluencers taking over Lebanese Instagram that you should DEFINITELY follow.

7. You argued with your parents about getting a pet at some point in your life

You’re either in a household with pet-hating parents or allergies.

8. Your eyes light up when you spot an animal (stray or not)

When you’re out with friends, they anticipate the high-pitched “HABIBIIIIII” when you spot a stray cat minding its own business.

9. Family members you tolerate most are the ones who have pets

You won’t admit that the only reason you visit 3amto Samira is because of her cute cat, but everyone can tell.

10. You consider “ya hayawen“ to be a compliment

Eh w ya3ne? Bta3ref eno l hayawen azka mnel ensen? Stfu.

11. You judge people based on how they treat animals

Ma betnayem kalbak haddak? Yi walaw. Ma bta3mol sharing la aklak ma3o kamen??!!!!! YOU MONSTER.
