Kitte Kat On The Prowl

Kitte Kat stares out from the bushes at us as she contemplates making friends, or enemies. She chose the former and walked out after myself and my dog, Diego. She allowed me to rub her head before wandering off into the garden again at Carbery Guest Lodge on Sheep’s Head, Co Cork.

She was raised by the family dog, Sisken, from an early age and thinks she’s a dog, but sometimes they get confused when she doesn’t run from them!

Streetwise Cat of Athens

A cat we found in Athens, just cleaning himself in the middle of a car park, without a care in the world on a warm May afternoon last year.

A Siamese Stroll

I spotted this stunning Siamese Cat in the town of Garachico in Tenerife recently. He was wandering across the street near the Plaza Juan González de la Torre.

Despite my calling him, he just walked on up the street, ignoring me, but he did give one look back as he walked past some rubbish bins, and out of sight.

The Cat in the big smoke

There’s something delightfully peculiar about finding a cat on a lead. I spotted these two characters taking a break near Camden Town in London. The scene just screamed to be photographed. The smoke caught in the sunlight and the cat’s nonchalant pose, how could I resist?

It’s a candid shot, of course, and as the photo was taken in 2022. I wonder if they were and are still living in London?

I searched and found this TikTok video from later in 2022, so they were still around there in October that year!

A Kitten’s dreams

One of the cats I spotted in Istanbul was this little one, a kitten, sitting on the wall near the graveyard where so many other cats were lounging. He seems young, and his face shows he has already been in trouble, I think, with small cuts on his nose. It’s a tough life for an outdoor cat.

The Night Cat

A cat we came across as we walked back to our hotel one night in Istanbul. I got the impression this cat was tough as nails. He looked back at me, but then continued to walk on, and disappeared behind a fence. Another cat came out to greet us while this one went off into the shadows.

Whiskers Among the Tombstones

This beautiful tortoiseshell cat was sitting near the main shopping area we were visiting on this lovely sunny day in Istanbul. She was just on the edge of the graveyard that went on for some distance up the hill, keeping an eye on everyone who passed by.

Feeding the Street Cat

This orange cat is living his best life. Being waited on hand and foot by the local human population of Istanbul. He was waiting for his dinner when we walked past.

Feline Wanderer on Cobblestone Paths

While wandering near the coloured houses in Istanbul, I came across a small cat staring off at something behind me. He seemed preoccupied, so I took one photo and walked on.
