The old minaret adjacent to St Nikolaos church is a perfect reminder of the way the East met the West in the town I made my home, Chania, Crete, Greece. The photographs I post all help to tell a part of a longer story that focuses on the town and its citizens, whether they are living there now, or have made their home in other parts of the world. As a newer resident, by writing about the town in this way, I am trying to put some order into the chaos that I seem to be confronted with.

Fish market
Kittens feeding at the fish market in the Agora.
Cat owners whose cats have given birth often abandon the litter here. Some people call it animal cruelty to abandon animals, but I would have to disagree entirely. It's much more humane to dispose of your unwanted animals in this way than to throw them in the street litter bins...

Oh no, some throw them in the garbage?!
ReplyDeleteFish market kittens have it good. These look plump and furry.
Cats are supposed to be wild animals, I don't think they are too worried about living rough, provided they have food and shelter. I doubt cats kept in flats are happy...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they have food, but I wish they would do something so their cats won't have kittens in the first place! But I guess if you want a cat or kitten, you know where to go to find one!
