City Kitties Travels: Flo's Hot Dogs Cat

Flo's is a pretty well known hot dog stand in Cape Neddick, Maine. I haven't been there in years because the line is always way too long (and you can get hot dogs that are just as good and cheaper down Route 1 at Cat 'n' Nine Tails), but my mom, friend Lynn and I were driving back to my mom's cottage from a trip to Mt. Agamenticus when I saw this cat in Flo's window. I made my mom turn the car around to get a picture of the cat. It was still in the window the next day!

Silver Lining Cat

Sometimes you just have a bad day. A week ago I had one such day, which involved, but was not limited to, cutting my toe open and bleeding all over the sidewalk, losing my sunhat, and my underwear breaking on a routine visit to a public restroom. But I saw this cat in Williamsburg, and it was the silver lining to my day's big, huge cloud.

P.S. Do you like my boyfriend's rudimentary photoshopping skills?

Church Neighbor Cat

I've been lucky in the past two days when it comes to cat sightings (I almost met a cat who lives in an unrenovated Tribeca loft space this morning, but he wasn't hungry for treats, apparently).  This evening my boyfriend and I grilled burgers and then made s'mores on our little webber grill in our "backyard." When we were roasting marshmallows Adam noticed this little cat spying on us. At first it was shy, but when it learned that we were nice it rubbed all over the hurricane fencing between us. Its fur was so soft. It also had a flea collar, which makes me think that the church next door (whose property is on the other side of the hurricane fence) takes care of it.

Bonus Cat

Well, when it rains it pours. After a particularly long dry spell of not finding hardly any cats this summer I happen to run across TWO today (see previous post for the first).  I was walking home from the gym this evening when I saw this cute cat in front of a church.  It was cautiously friendly until, as I was digging for my phone, a man with loud cowboy boots walked by.  The cat ran and hid behind the fence before I could get a closer picture. 

Public Relations Cat

I wandered over to a coffee shop near Wyckoff Hospital today to do some work and on my way home I spotted this little cat in the doorway of a bodega. It came right out onto the sidewalk and started rubbing all over my legs and rolling around on the ground showing its belly. I think it is one of the most friendly cats I've met!
