    Very cute pictures. When I was getting my car smogged, the man that works at the place is from Turkey and he loves cats. He showed me some pictures of the cat he used to have growing up. It was a white Turkish Angora with odd eyes. He doesn't have any cats right now because his wife is afraid of them. He says he will have a another cat though some day.

    This one makes her look like she's laughing, I think.


    Thanks for the photos!

    Great photos. I am going to use the last one as my background on my computer.

    Thanks, everyone.

    Elyse, indeed she was a very respectful cat! She was too polite to intrude until invited in, I think. She did keep a close eye on her little one, but was very relaxed in letting us so close to him. If he got too excited and started scratching at the curtains, where she couldn't see him, she would call to him to come away. I think she could teach some human mothers a thing or two!

    Sallyanne, that picture makes me smile every time I see it. He was such a shy boy, it took me an age to get a half-decent shot of him!

    Thank you so very much for sharing your extraordinary pictures! All the kitties are beauties. Your kindness to the mother and her kitten made their visits so special. Because you cared, they possibly knew love for the first time being strays. Bless you for helping them and welcome home!

    Tiptoes was a wonderful photographic subject! You got some great pictures.

    When we are on holiday, we always find that our dinner choices are severely compromised by what would be best for all the stray cats. Of course, these days we take a bag of cat food with us too.

    We also have cat food with us when we go to southern countries. We made some Sicilian kitties very happy this year and I remember having had a cat family out of mom, dad and kitten boy (really, dad was also part of it) in a bungalow by the sea. We named them Catzidaki, Tomitsi and The Mitsokrator in fake Greek. It is always so hard to leave them.
    So I am glad to see that little Tiptoes has a face just like my Kiri who is a rescue from Mallorca- there seems to be a Mediterranean variety of housecat. When Kiri came first to live with us she would eat anything- potatoes, even bread.
    Thanks for the lovely pictures

    I think I may also have to start packing cat food in my suitcase on any future holidays!

    And thank you, everyone.
