On a number of rooftops in urban Egypt, lower-middle class families rear animals such as goats, chickens, sheep, rabbits, geese, and turkeys. In the absence of affordable meat protein, some families rear their animals for nutritional sustenance. Based on one-year of ethnographic fieldwork in urban Cairo and Alexandria, this article explores rooftops as a fertile resource for understanding gender, revisiting kin relations, and opening up discussions on multi species relations in Egypt. Primarily, rooftop labor is gendered labor: Whereas females feed and care for all rooftop animals as their children, males nurture and feed rooftop pigeons as their sweethearts. For females, rooftops are extensions of kitchens in which meals begin. For males, on the other hand, rooftops are where they take breaks and suspend their social duties and obligations. Through different male and female trajectories, this article explores how rooftop tasks matter to what interlocutors convey about themselves. In situating rooftop relations within broader gendered trajectories, this article argues that care and nurturance are at the center of what interlocutors communicate about themselves upstairs. Conceived as spaces of nurturance, rooftops give particular shape to all gendered relations in which even a commonly violent male pigeon-rearing practice is remarkably nurturing and nonviolent. Whether through securing food, searching for a loving company, or weeping over a lost love, rooftop care and nurturance help males and females either suspend and/or perfect their gendered social obligations. Rather than mere utopian love, rooftop multispecies relations operate within a revisited “kin contract” in which both humans and animals share reciprocal duties and responsibilities for one another. On another level, this article attempts to carve out space for research on multispecies relations in the region, one which refines and complements the categories that contour the Middle East.
