51.  I found this beautiful cat lying on an ancient column at the archaeological site of Delphi in Greece. The sanctuary of Delphi which had the most famous oracle of ancient Greece, was regarded as the centre of the world.

52.  Michu was a sweet cat that sailed across Panama and Colombia.  He kept company to the crew and to the guests while sailing across San Blas.  It was a hell of a trip, and I was very sea sick.  The first day of the sail, he mostly hid under the bridge.  He must have been so sick, poor kitty!

53.  I was in Cotacachi, Ecuador, and it had just stopped raining.  I was walking back to the bus stop, and I spotted this lovely lady who was just looking outside her door, curiously.  Her cat was doing the very same.  She smiled at me, and I asked her if I could take a picture.  She did not mind and smiled at the camera for me.  I then went to pet the cat, but he decided he was too busy for me.

54.  The Catboat (De Poezenboot) is located on Singel Canal street in Amsterdam.  Known as the “pussy boat,” this vessel shelters homeless cats.  When it is not open for boarding, you can view the cats from outside.

56.  This sweet little feline is one a many feral cats who live amongst the Ephesus ruins in Turkey. They are all quite friendly and "tame," letting anyone give a scratch behind the ear or to an exposed fluffy belly. Ephesus is their home and who knows! -- they may just be the descendants of 6,000-year-old cats who also called Ephesus home.

57.  This cat started a staredown in the dry, dusty  area outside of  remote St. Catherine’s Monestary, adjacent to Mt. Sinai in Egypt.

58.  My partner  and I were in York, England, on the grounds of the cathedral.  We had stopped to check our guide book and rest on the bench.  This big cat marched up, jumped up on the bench between the two of us, and demanded a pet.  Everyone enjoyed it.

71.   This calico cat has the run of The Classy Flea antiques shop in Jamestown, California.  You’d think she’d choose to nap in a nice soft chair instead of a display of prickly pins.

72.   We saw these two cats when exploring the back streets of Ankara, Turkey.  The entire scene begged to be captured, with the crumbling painted walls and the uneven steps. The cats seemed particularly disinterested in us.
