I visited the Hemingway House just last summer. It was so hot and humid that once the tour moved upstairs I ditched so I could stand outside. I felt dizzy from the heat. Key West is insanely hot in the middle of summer. Anyway, I wanted to add some of the better pictures I took there onto this thread.

This one is probably my favorite. This Siamese mix was resting on the cool pavement under a recently watered planter. I love the colors in this picture. Also notice the little kitty pawprints?
S/he could be a "Marilyn Manroe" relative.


The majority of the cats I saw out and about were big orangies like this one.


Here is a different orangie having a little grooming session.


Here is a tuxie taking a nap (which is what most of the kitties were doing - it was midday and Oh, So Hot!) This kitty is probably "Charlie Chaplin." The angle doesn't allow me to determine whether he has the "tiny black mustache" or not.


This kitty cracked me up - she was sleeping on top of this Penny Pincher machine. She might be "Ragamuffin."


Here is a picture of one of the lizards that Sara refers to. I think Kayann has posted pictures of these lizards before - they are all over Florida. This picture was taken in Hemingway's garden.


Here are some of the famous Key West Chickens. This mommy was teaching her babies how to scratch around in the dirt for food. It was sooo cute! This group was just passing through the Hemingway grounds. These chickens are all over Key West.
