| Cats |
Possibly, there are as many cats on Crete as there are people - there are no statistics.
In our tiny village, anyway, I know of cats in the security of homes and fenced gardens, I know
of at least 40 cats being fed - every day - by one Greek and one Danish women, and I know
of cats who roam and live in total freedom by hunting among the olive trees. Their complete
freedom, of course, includes the freedom to be run over by cars on the highway we have here,
and also on the most normal roads from village to village.
'Arga' (slow) reads an admonishing sign to the drivers, but it rarely helps. Even there, cats
get run over.
Outside our village, there are other cats - too many to count - and some have huge villa's and
grand estates to themselves, other seem to permanently inhabit garbage bins, a third group
loiters around restaurants and along the beaches.
Walking and driving through Crete, from East to West and North to South, we always
photographs cats - indigenous as well as foreign ones - and here's a small collection from our
more than a thousand images of your and our feline neighbours.
Enjoy!
