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
Odds and Lens 
Chasing mice
And muses
Amuses me
The soft angles
The furry geometry
No, wait
That sounds wrong
I didn’t mean
Any double entendre
Still
Can you blame a cat
For being chatty
For trying to be
A cool cat
A heroic cat
A homeric cat
A handful of notes
Of jazz scat
Sing to me O Muse
La nuit
Tout les chats sont gris
Or rather wine-coloured
Like the sea
And your eyes
