There's a wonderful Wikipedia article on Aegean Cats: People have published Greek cat photography books, calendars, postcards and artwork, all for the love of feline.

Many Greek cats are feral, most are hungry, all are strikingly unique in this country of white stone and deep shadows. As in most countries there are animal saviors who dedicate their efforts to education about animal rights. The Greek Cat Welfare Society is active here. It didn't take long this morning for me to want to tote kibbles on my walks. Probably a bad idea.


The gallery below will grow... and it won't always look like cats.
