There were a lot of cats at Aripuca and I’ve featured a sun bathing cat in Caturday.
One of the most fascinating of the feline was a very fluffy white cat. It was majorly adorable but I didn’t dare get too close in case it ran off.

Good Cat Hunting in Athens
Location: Dubai Zoo
Dubai’s zoo wasn’t really worth visiting because the whole place isn’t sheltered. You have to animals in cages under the hot desert sun.
The animals seem that they are too hot too move and you’ll have to contend with visitors who do not have zoo etiquette. Nearly all of them were banging on the cages of the animals as if it would animate the prisoners inside. I kept wishing the tiger would jump up and bite their hands or something.
One of the exhibits was a lioness who was just lying around doing nothing.

Caterpillar-in-training in Florence
Back when I was in high school, there was a Hong Kong drama about a man with special needs but with a golden heart. The character’s name was Fei Mao (Fat Cat) so I thought it was funny when I saw this rather fat cat in my hostel in Hong Kong.
The cat had a huge belly and a bell at its throat so it rang musically where ever it went. One of its hobbies was to scratch the side of the fake-leather couch.
In the hostel, there was also a sign warning people against feeding the cat. I later found the cat being ushered into some other person’s flat so I suspect the hostel doesn’t own it.

Location: Buenos Aires
This cat refused to budge even when some tourist tried to push it off.
This tomb is found in Buenos Aires’s famous La Recoleta cemetery.
Caturday: Black Beauty at Istanbul Archaeological Museum
[This post isn’t exactly up on a Caturday but my brain is still jetlagged in a Caturday time zone. Let’s all pretend it’s still Caturday. Meow!]
One of the exhibitions at the Hong Kong Museum of Art was about sunken treasures from ancient Chinese ships.
Among the collection was this marble cat. It’s very catlike but the color’s a bit off. It looks like it has skin disease.
I didn’t realize that we couldn’t take photos so that’s why we see it on Caturday. It might also be the oldest cat in the Caturday series.
Cat inner monologue:
I knew that this assignment won’t be easy but I need the money for catnip. Why did I even touch that drug in the first place.
I’ve been following the target since this morning but strangely, I think somecat is following me too. I keep looking over my shoulders but I only see humans. I think I’m losing my touch.
The target has stopped to lean against this wall. He can’t hear me because I’m a silent assassin. Maybe if I pounce now, I can eliminate the target immediately. Here goes nothing.
Location: Troy, Turkey
I found this cat in Troy. Unlike other cats I’ve met on the road, this is more affectionate. Maybe it smelled food on me or something.
Location: Selcuk, Turkey
I don’t know if cats actually know that I’m taking photos of them when I wave my camera in their face. Maybe they just find the rectangular object annoying so they turn away.
Good news is, Emo Cat is less emo when you look from afar. In the background is the ruins of an ancient bath.
Leave emo cat alone!
Location: Istanbul, Turkey
The problem with photographing cats is that they never seem to have another expression aside from disdain or a “Get out of my face!” look.
This grey cat was found lazing in the rose bushes at the exit of Haghia Sophia.
