Cat World

In the past Mimi and Ollie have had the lion's share of photo opportunities.
Below you will find two pictures of Mr. B.



He is the roof cat - very ancient, scruffy and disreputable. Also very affectionate.
However, he isn't allowed in the house owing to his nasty smelly habits.



Here he is trying to clean himself up to make himself more socially acceptable.
Probably a lost cause.
But we like him anyway.



It is kitten season, so yesterday I went on a little tour.
This kitten and his mum live in the metal workers' square near the mellah.
The kitten spent most of his time trying to climb the palm tree and falling off.



This solitary character was sitting beneath a meat vendor's shop where we sometimes buy veggies in Djemma ElFna. He/she was attracting lots of attention from children who he allowed to pick him/her up.



These two tinies seem to live behind the bicycle by the tiny hanut (shop) about 20 feet from our front door.
I haven't seen their mother, though they are given food by the hanut owner.
One of them was wandering around yesterday afternoon and I was frightened it would get run over by a moped.
However, if one worried about all the cats in the medina all the time, one would have no peace at all.



These two slightly bigger kittens were enjoying their mother and the late afternoon warmth outside a shop in Mouassine.
