My friend Brenda sent me this kitty that she saw in her backyard in Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill (I can never figure out which is which), Brooklyn. Her husband, Ian, calls the cat Lunchbox, and their neighbor feeds it.
I was walking to Columbia University yesterday for my first day as a visiting scholar (!!) there and saw this cat and dog in an apartment window. The dog barked, so I was a little scared to take the picture.
I rode my bike around the circumference of Manhattan today and stopped to check out the Little Red Lighthouse under the George Washington Bridge in Washington Heights. I hung out for a bit and took some pictures, then when I went back to my bike I noticed a little parakeet nipping around in the grass! It fluttered around a bit, and landed on my bike for a while, before flying back under the bridge with its other parakeet friends. I guess there are more house birds in the city than just Brooklyn!
Millions of kitties call New York City home. Here, some of the most special kitties get their 15 minutes of fame, complete with a cell-phone camera photo shoot!
