Greek Island Cats

I’m a doggie person I guess on the whole, having grown up with various woofers in the house since I was a few weeks old. Currently of course we have Sir Bonzo. Cats, on the other hand, have always been a bit alien to me, however I’ll admit that a few have stolen, or at least borrowed, my heart over the years.

Over the past couple of years, we have been fortunate to be able to grab a few days R&R on our neighbouring Greek islands. Whilst considerably more expensive for us, we love the much cooler weather compared to mainland southwest Türkiye during mid-summer. The cultural differences, as well as the similarities to our own, are also quite an appeal to us. One noticeable difference was the cats…

The island cats were as laid back as the Greeks themselves, often found lazing on windowsills among other places – the cats I mean, not the locals.

The cats were mostly well fed and cared for, which was good to see – hate to see hungry animals or any variety…

Mostly they seemed oblivious to the world around them – can’t say that I blame them either. They seem to have the right idea I reckon 🙂

Photographic little guys though – couldn’t help but snap off a few shots whenever I saw a feline friend. Never told Bonzo though – he wouldn’t speak to me again!
