I've seen more dogs than cats, and unfortunately the cats I've seen in Athens have been pretty sad looking. I cringe everything I see one run across the street or duck under a car. I assume many of them are strays simply because they look undernourished. We went to one of the islands this weekend and the cats I saw there looked as if they fared much better than Athenian cats. Here are just a few that I got.
Very sweet cats, begging at the cafe we had lunch at. It's tearing my heart out! These were on the island of Kea in the town of Ioulida.
Waiting for a handout...
Not sure what was wrong with this one's eye...you might have an idea Traci. It was so close to the first cat I posted they were practically attached!
I hope I will get more eventually.....stay tuned!

They're so beautiful! I assume the people treat them well when they are begging for food?
The kitten (or maybe petite adult?) appears to have either gluacoma, a cataract, or maybe infection induced injury or traumatic injury, no way to know without a vet, and I guess you can't run around a foreign country taking kitties to the vet! (I probably would )
