Cats I Met on Holiday
I was on holiday for 10 days, 5 in Italy and 5 in Croatia. Needless
to say I'm always on the lookout for local mogs to talk to when I'm abroad - and I definitely speak better meow than either Italian or Croatian. There must be cats in Italy. Where the heck are they hiding? I saw two the whole time I was there - one rather fat tabby like my Marblecake, glaring back into our headlights beside the road up to the San Luca monastery in Bologna, and one extremely posh-looking Russian Blue with an elegant pink collar next to a travelling fair caravan in the Po Delta (it didn't condescend to talk to me). I saw none at all in the city centres of Bologna and Venice. Croatia has zillions of them. I was staying with my ex-wife and her family in Rijeka, and they have a little black and white guy who was dumped as a four-week-old kitten. He treats my stepdaughter as his mother and is great at having ferocious fights with people's hands while never breaking the skin with his claws. And the old centre of Zadar is mostly pedestrianized with lots of cafes, so it's heaven for moggies. There is even one little yard, fenced off with mesh so that humans can't get into it and with cat-friendly bits of dumped upholstery, which has been taken over entirely by a cat colony. People put catfood through the wire. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |
