The Cat Sanctuary in Rome (under the Torre Argentina ruins)

Recently, Connie visited the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary in Rome!

Here is a compilation of photos taken by Connie while she was there:

A cat sanctuary under the Torre Argentina ruins in Rome. According to the cat caretakers, currently there are estimated over 200 stray cats living in the protected archaeological area. All cats are neutered and ear notched.

Do we have any ruins here that can perhaps be converted into a cat or dog sanctuary?

Kelly’s Castle in Batu Gajah?

I’m just saying….

And Connie got me this signage….

mini-P9210174

It says: Beware of the Cat.

How apt!! I should hang it on the grille of Bunny’s Room. Or maybe, paste a paper over the “Gatti” and replace it with “Mucca”?
“Mucca” is Cow in Italian!

 And this super GEM of a book, John Bradshaw’s latest (2013) book based on his decades of research on cats!!
The book is from London.

Thank you very much, Connie!

    You’re most welcome Dr Chan!
    Btw, the feline ancestor originally said to have boarded a Rome-bound ship from Egypt. Must be a fleet of felines’ crusaders!
