The Cats of Greece
“If you’ve ever been a tourist in Greece you’ve most probably noticed tiny eyes watching you from the rooftops as you walk down the cobblestoned streets and alleys. Those shiny eyes belong to the local neighborhood cats.”
Most cats you’ll encounter on the streets of Greece are not feral but strays (a stray cat is a domestic cat that has been abandoned or is lost). Greece’s mild winters help them survive the colder months and the locals take it upon themselves to offer the neighborhood cats food, water, and shelter.
Visitors also feed the cats who in general leave you alone, preferring to laze about in the sun.
