The day has come where I pay tribute to cats, the true owners of the internet, a fact well known. And not just any cats, but the sweetest cohort of feline workers in the Greek hospitality industry. Sea, sunshine, summer farniente, history, traditions: they know what the tired traveller is looking for and can gently accompany their quest.
They asked me to give no names, but have agreed to have a selection of photos posted here, for the benefit of those who could not travel this summer.
First of all, good morning!Come in and have a seat!We don’t know each other, but can you please give me a belly rub?This is my kingdom, all the way to the mini-market!Life in the city can be tough, it’s hard to rest those paws on concrete.Wherever there’s a chaise-longue, there is happiness.Escaping to an island is everyone’s dream. Peace and bliss…I tried to stay awake and greet you all, but there are too many of you this year!Hey, I think you made a mistake and placed this photo upside down.Come in for some music. Yes, CDs are still cool.Every taverna is owned by a cat.Yes, indeed.Little kitty on a little playground on a little islandThe geometricianPeekabooRetirees’ clubAdventurous youngsterWhere is that comfy couch I had found?Another gorgeous sunset! So boring!The kitty who wanted to be in everyone’s sunset photos… and knew how to strike a poseThe lonely poet who spends his afternoons counting petalsWhere attention waves convergeL’antiquisant
