Beautiful @Oznell! Thanks for sharing!

Looking at this for a while, I can almost imagine I'm there! I'll bet the resident kitties keep the mouse population in check; they look pretty well fed!

Years ago we went to Rome. As I recall, it was overrun with cats. I think it was against the law to "fix" cats. Not a good policy.

That is a lovely photo.

I suspect there are desendants of those cats living in Italy today.

Love the photo. Thanks for sharing.

"Little loaves of bread", cute.

My husband and I vacationed in Italy (over 25 years ago) and loved it there. He loves ruins, as I know you do too.

We were visiting a park, and I crouched down to say hello to a kitty who then proceeded to climb onto my lap and lie down. Another part of the trip, while we were in Venice, the waters were rising above ground and flooding Venice. My husband was out walking around (I stayed back at the hotel as we didn't have boots to wade in the water, but lack of boots didn't deter him), and he saw a cat stranded on the outside of a window sill with nowhere to go since water was below. So my husband and another happy barefoot tourist from another country (who he didn't know, and they didn't speak the same language), rescued the cat together and placed the kitty on dry ground where it was free to go.

Aww, as usual you are far too kind, @DSD2 , and @just bee .

Those are wonderful "cat stories abroad", @QVCisFun ! Kitties bring out our love and fascination wherever they are, and good for your husband for providing rescue!
