City Kitties Travels: Gatos Españoles

For the past week I was in Spain with my good friend Heidi.  Among other things, we were in search of Spanish kitties.  Unfortunately, most that we saw were either in carrying cases or ran away before we could take a picture.  Below is one that we saw on a finca on Mount Naranco in Oviedo, were I spent a semester in college.

And here is a flyer to encourage people to adopt cats that we saw in Bilbao:

Travel Cats from the Archives...

My mom gave me a really nice digital picture frame for Christmas and yesterday I finally got around to going through my pictures on my computer to find nice ones to load to the frame. In the process I found some cats that I took pictures of but never got around to posting on City Kitties.

Below is a cat that I saw when I went to visit my friend Jenny while she was living in St. Louis.  We saw this cat when we were walking to the Budweiser brewery in this really nice, but seeminly almost abandoned, neighborhood.



We saw this cat two years ago when my boyfriend, Tash, Andy and I went to El Yunque, the rainforest in Puerto Rico.

And last, but not least, here is a cat (with no head, apparently) that I saw when I did a bike tour of Berlin in June, 2009.

Harp

This is Harp. His name is Harp because my friend Abby found him outside her apartment building in Amherst (MA, not NY) while she was enjoying a Harp beer. He looks so cute on this blanket. And I never realized until now how much he looks like Scribble!

Charlie

I had been a little sad about the dry spell I've been going through in terms of finding/getting pictures of city kitties lately. Two nights ago I was unable to take a picture of a cat near Food Bazaar on Wyckoff Ave. and the next morning couldn't snap a picture of a cat in time on my way home from the gym. But then along came Charlie! (Or, rather, an email from my good friend Jenny with pictures of Charlie attached.) Charlie is one of Jenny's friend's cats and he is a Maine Coon. He is so cute, especially with the sweater!! I would love to have a Maine Coon, but my boyfriend is allergic to cats, especially those with long hair which is why both of our cats are short-haired.

Bun Bun

Ok, Bun Bun is obviously not a cat but he is so cute that I just had to post him. He is my brother's girlfriend Nina's bunny. Bun Bun is really small even though he is full grown and he is litter trained!

Mistoffelees, a.k.a. Missy

Here is Mistoffelees (or Missy), my mom's cat who was found in my friend's dad's yard. She loves to sit in laps and gets so relaxed that she drools everywhere.

Claudius

Last night I went to a party at my friend Eva's new apartment in Kensington. Her cute cat, Claudius, managed to look after (and sit on) the coats in the bedroom while also taking the time to mingle with the guests :)
