This little kitten was perched rather precariously on the very edge of the ancient stone wall surrounding Rhodes Old Town!

Taking One Day At A Time 
What is it about Greece and cats……we’ve been twice and they are all over the place.
They live feral 🙂 It’s the same all around the Mediterranean! So they’re almost actually wildlife. People have historically encouraged cats to live nearby and on ships for pest control. There’s one place in North Africa where cats are revered (as they should be!) because when an earthquake approaches the cats flee! Lifesavers 🙂
Such a different look in it’s eyes to cats living here 🙂
Oh yes, they’re much closer to being wild animals than our domestic cats!
Ohhh… Too cute!
I can’t resist them Amy!
Oh this is adorable!! I love his face
Adorable
Thanks Raewyn 🙂 They’re all so cute over in Greece but I want to adopt them all 😉
I love that the colours of the kitten are blending with its surroundings. What sharp eyes it has, too. Again, love your interpretation of the theme.
Thank you 🙂 Most of the cats in Greece have quite mottled coats and it’s certainly a great camouflage for them! Being feral cats they’re pretty much wild animals in reality.
Sooooooo adorable 🙂
Thanks Marc! The cats are just one of the things that I love about Greece 🙂
I still have to visit Greece!
It’s the Islands that I really love! I’d highly recommend visiting 🙂
What a cutie….they are always so skinny these Mediterranean cats. I can never resist a stroke 🙂
I always make friends with a few of them while we’re over there 🙂 The feral cats are a lot smaller than our domestic ones. Most people actually over-feed their pets but with almost wild cats they tend to have a lot of parasites and can struggle to maintain weight. It’s hard for the female cats who often only have one or two kittens in a litter because food is more scarce. Many Greek Islands now run neutering programs to keep the population down but also to improve the health of the female cats. If you see feral cats with a V shape clipped from an ear or the top of an ear removed, it means that it’s a neutered cat! When they do another round up for treatment they know which cats have already been done 🙂
Lovely expression on the little guy. (The not-quite-Colossus-of-Rhodes.) 🙂
Not unless it’s actually a GIANT kitten! lol 😉
So true! Complete with roar instead of mew.
Imagine the PURR! You could pacify your enemies with one of those 😉
Ahhh. Peace on earth, wrought by a giant kitten. Sounds like a story waiting to be written!
