Honolulu Cats

A L O H A !







" One of the greatest diseases
 is to be nobody to anybody. " 

Mother Teresa 










Honolulu has many communities of feral cats.
  Dedicated volunteers, like this lady,
 feed and arrange for neutering & healthcare for the little bums.



"Words are a pretext.
 It is the inner bond
 that draws one person to another,
 not words. "

Rumi







This fellow seems to enjoy the spoiling - just look at that face!


" The greatest healing therapy
 is friendship and love. "


Hubert H. Humphrey 







Most visitors are looking up, at sights like the top picture.
 But if you look down, you may see evidence of CAT.




And, because it is political season here in the US:


" To stimulate wildly weak
 and untrained minds
 is to play with mighty fires. "


W. E. B. Du Bois

May your day
go your way!

    I'm totally unaware of feral cats around here - I'm sure they are out in the country around farms and such but animal control likely gathers up any wandering around without tags.

    Send some of them over to our neighborhood. Our cat can't keep up with the rats.
    Interesting that Honolulu tolerates feral cats but Hilo doesn't! At least not around here.

    LOL - isn't it ALWAYS political season in the US ? ;-)

    Gorgeous sky shot ! Perhaps the feral cat idea was imported from Greece - we saw lots of them in Rhodes too !

    Aloha, Cloudia.

    I am a sucker for cats. And, unfortunately, feral cats are an issue everywhere there are people. Sigh.

    My main issue with feral cats is how many wild birds they kill.

    Sweet! This reminds me of the cats coming out at night to inhabit Jackson Square in New Orleans; cats among Roman ruins in the South of France; and even more cats roaming about in Père Lachaise Cemetery. Finally, of a woman who cares for two stray but neutered cats living by a certain building in San Antonio, TX. Little bums, indeed ~~!
