I have “gone to the dogs” twice in this blog so far and the mutts will most likely be back for a few more posts before we get home.  They are just simpler to get good photos of than cats.  And, I must admit I am not a huge cat fan.  In an effort to be fair and trying to be balanced in the interests of those who might be folowing the blog I managed to finally compile enough good cat photos to put together a posting of the feline side of Italy.

A few of these might actually be some ones pet, but since none  have collars it is a bit difficult to be certain.  The majority of the cats are quite suspicious and not real prone to doing anything that resembles a pose for you.   If you try to bend down and get on their level that is an invitation for them to scamper off under a car or down the narrow street and out of sight.  So to the cat lovers out there here is one for you.  If you have better captions for any image please add them in a reply.  Identify which cat it goes with.

I am not going to look at the camera for any reason.

A little rough around the edges.

Looking for dinner out in the shrubs.

This is so embarrassing.

Busted!!

Hey! We are trying to take a nap over here.

The torn ear and scarred face tells me this is definitely a street cat.

There is another one of the “camera people”.
