Postscript: Homage to Feral Cats and Critters

 

Throughout our travels we encountered and photographed feral cats, so this entry is especially aimed at the cat lovers among us.  We also captured images of other animals along the way, principally geese and goats in Crete. Enjoy!

Ephesian cat who looks very much like my Angel.

Another one in Ephesus, Turkey

Same 'gata' on the move.

The ruins at Ephesus make very appealing perches for cats.

 

Two more Ephesians on the move.

 

A dog at Ephesus scratching fleas. How'd that get in here?

 

The rest of these cats we encountered in Crete, not surprisingly around the open air cafes that are so prevalent.



I remember this snoozing calico at the monastery near Preveli.

 

This poor tabby was skinny and obviously hungry.  We found him prowling the grounds of a public toilet in rural Crete near an archeological site. Get this fella to a café!

 

This winery cat is obviously not feral.  He was quite well fed and relaxed!

 

 

This gaggle of geese in 'downtown' Plakias were rather aggressive.  We were careful not to antagonize them.  Geese can damage a body!

 

Found these unidentified fowl along a stream near Preveli.

 Can anyone identify the species?

 

On the opposite side of the stream....more geese.

 

Wild goats thrive on the rocky landscape of Crete.  This group we found on our last day in Crete. 

So there you have it! Gato, geese and goats....and one dog!
