A cat's life in ruins
By Donna Kelsch
Last October I followed the historical footsteps of the Apostle Paul to several areas of the Mediterranean. I have a love of cats, and thought it would be cool to could capture pictures of the local felines while visiting the ruins.
Expecting to spend hours searching for cats, I was delighted by the numbers of very cool, very interesting cats who seemed to seek us out instead.
In Ephesus, Turkey, the cats are truly part of the landscape, numbering well over a hundred. These feline ambassadors greet everyone with tails held proudly high in a show of friendliness.
At the ruins, cats were basking in the sun on ancient blocks, nimbly jumping from one column to the next and calmly strolling through the Library of Celsus, always happy to pose, as cats do.
For some visitors they were invisible, but for me and quite a few others, the cats added unexpected joy to the trip. Perhaps, like myself, they had a cat like our Nicki, back home.
NOTE: Apparently the staff at the Ephesian ruins also love cats, for they take care of keeping them fed and healthy.
