This is my last Italy post and I wanted to do something fun. At some point along the trip, I started taking pics of all the random cats we ran into. I saw very few in Rome but there were tons of outdoor kitties in Umbria. And they were too cute. Above, one catnaps in Assisi as the crowds pass by. Just a beautiful girl!
In Spoleto, we were hanging out at the city fountain, waiting for our restaurant of choice to open, when this kitten wandered into the busy town square. Several of the old men around the fountain tried to shoo it away, to keep it safe, but the kitten kept coming back. At one point, a teenage kitty started attacking this poor thing! We had to fend off the older cat and we eventually found a crate that this kitten was living out of. It was very stressful watching such a tiny creature fend for itself!!
Another cat in Spoleto, sitting by the city fountain. She didn't seem to know the above kitten.
A cat wanders amidst the ancient Etruscan temples at Largo Argentina in Rome. The last time I was in Rome, this place was filled with cats. Now, there was only this one.
Look closely.... This cat sat perched in a window of what used to be the Roman amphitheater in Spoleto. We were afraid she'd try to jump down but she didn't.
We encountered this lonely kitty on the walk home from the Spoleto train station.
And finally, lest I be called discriminatory, here's a dog we saw in Assisi. I felt bad for the dogs as there was very little grass in the city centers of these towns.
That's about it from Italy. Next week, you'll hear about my rather boring life here in Texas.

Omigoodness...those cats are so adorable! I would have wanted to take them home, especially that little orange one!
Nice job with all the Italy posts and photos.
Liz, I know. We were so scared for the little one. It stayed within sight during our dinner and it was a struggle not to interfere.
TSK, thanks!
