Cat Hat

This is probably the most exciting City Kitty I have ever taken a picture of!!! I blogged about seeing this cat before although I failed to take a picture. But this afternoon I was on my way back into the building where I work when I saw this man (whose name now escapes me) and his cat (Nick... I think) again. He let me take a picture for a dollar. It was totally worth it.

Gato Loco

It's not a cat, but I saw this while walking through my old neighborhood in Brooklyn (an undefined area where Williamsburg, Bushwick, and Bed-Stuy meet). It was one of my first times back since I moved, so I had to post this!

"Little Italian Cat"

Today boyfriend and I rode our tandem bike up to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx (Doodle's home borough) and we saw this cute little cat in the window of an Italian tchotchke shop.

City Kitties Travels: Gato Sanjuanero

I took a brief vacation with my friends Eva and Helena in San Juan, Puerto Rico this past week and we met this cute cat on our way back to our hotel from a delicious lunch at Bebo's.

Doodle in his new bed

My boss gave me this nice Taiwanese woven bowl a couple of months ago.  I've been wanting to use it for a sophisticated purpose, but I never have any fruit in the house.  The other day I thought I would try repurposing the bowl and placed my cats' pet bed in the bowl.  Scribble checked it out and quickly lost interest, but Doodle loved it.  He hopped right in and when I got up in the morning he was still there!

City Kitties Travels: Philly Kitties

I had to go to Philadelphia this weekend to attend and present a paper at a conference. Luckily, I had time to explore and it turned out that Philly has lots of cute cats!

Below is a store cat who was basking in the sun in his storefront on South Street:

Shortly after, I saw this little cat running by:

Earlier today we took a walk down 9th Street to the famous cheesesteak corner with Pat's and Gino's (we didn't eat any cheesesteak this time, though). As we were walking back, we saw this cat hanging out in his window at home:

Then we saw this cute cat sign for what looked like an animal shelter... or just the home of someone who is obsessed with adopting animals:

Chloe

My good friend Suzy sent me a picture of her little cat Chloe, pretty in pink just for Valentine's Day ;-*

P.S. Suzy, your carpeting is just like mine!
