Bastian's birtday was celebrated in the usual style... Bastian (mixed breed), 01.06.2017 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Since we adopted him two years ago, Bastian has become a wonderful addition to our family. Playful, cuddly and very social - all in all the living proof of what great adult cats can be found at the shelters. Today he celebrates his 7th birthday... :) Bastian (mixed breed), 01.06.2017.

My thoughts go to all affected by the cruel and cowardly act of terror that hit Manchester Arena last night, May 22nd 2017. Comments disabled - no words needed. Manchester Cenotaph, 23.04.2016 (from my archive). Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

One thing I like about cats is how meticulously they burry their droppings. I have prepared a small patch of the strawberry bed with loose soil for Bastian - and he imediately picked up on it. Our cats clearly prefer their indoor litter trays, but one in the garden is a nice convinience too... Bastian (mixed breed), 14.05.2017. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Bastian lurking in his tunnel, ready to jump out as soon as the teaser gets into reach... Lene caught this moment on her phone camera, edit by me. Bastian (mixed breed), 14.05.2017. Sony E5603 mobile camera

We saw this beautiful Turkish Van waiting for a flight in the passenger terminal of Pulkovo Airport, Saint Petersburg. It seemed very experienced with travelling, so maybe it was a Russian show star... A cousin of Lene has bred van cats for many years - they are such elegant and smart cats that love water. :) Turkish Van cat, Pulkovo Airport, St. Petersburg, 06.05.2017 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Ancient Egyptian bronze statue at the Hermitage Museum , Saint Petersburg. The pose of statues of the goddess Bastet has led some owners of Abyssinian (and Somali) cats to believe that their cats descend drectly from the sacred cats of Egypt. Recent DNA tests however place the origins of these breeds on the Indian subcontinent... State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, 04.05.2017 Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera

Rags has the cutest little black tufts between his toes. Posted for the " Happy Caturday " theme "Paws" Dushara Tatters and Rags (Somali), 10.05.2017. Olympus OMD EM5 Digital Camera
