A big feature of our annual holiday stay in Mrs Nikos Hellenic Towers (a.k.a. The Eagles Nest) is that any visiting cat is given food. Such is the life at Pussy Paradise that the word soon gets round and whole families of cats pitch up.
Here are Mr and Mrs Ginger el Greco. They soon brought this Summer's progeny for supervised free grub.
I did question the morality of feeding the cats when so many Greeks claim to be in poverty - Mrs N's view is at least the cats do something useful in keeping the rodents away.

In the next installment I may tell you how the examination of a fuel cock in Venice lead to cheesecake in the Taunus mountians.
Very nice pic!! love them ;O)
ReplyDeleteYou always have the cutest pussy pics Nikos.
ReplyDeleteHow many of the critters do you have coming around for food when you are there? I'd be a softy like Mrs. N and be feeding them too.
Greetings Nikos,
ReplyDeleteWhat with Mrs N's generosity in keeping the local fauna well fed, I'd imagine that those Greeks in supposed poverty may be inclined to thank you for providing a plump alternative food source. Not sure whether feline and tortoise moussaka has an entirely authentic ring though.
Having upset animal lovers everywhere, I shall now beat a hasty retreat.....
We also feed the stray cats - the ones that even Mad Cat Lady down the street (having 15 of them at last count) hasn't got enough food for.
ReplyDeleteOur landlady on Zante was also claiming to be in poverty, and bemoaning the fact that she now had to pay taxes, as she drove us in her new VW Toureg. Repatriate all the fancy cars to Wolfsburg, is what I say, and in exchange keep the Germans coughing up bailout money before all guilt memory finally expires.
Pussy Paradise...you do paint a picture. They are adorable, and I am going through critter withdraw.
ReplyDeleteAny fuel peacock leading to cheesecake story has got to be good.
Dear Nikos:
ReplyDeleteThere is a broad degree of difference between your idea of a pussy paradise and mine. However, if this is what you're used to...
The only fauna outside the house tonight are Hammerhead sharks posing as French exchange students. The hurricane is expected to make landfall here tonight, about 18 inches to the right of my ass.
Fondest regards,
