Cats have a habit of finding strange places where they take their forty winks. I took these photos in the street where my parents' house is situated. This cat has a knack of sleeping in my mother's planter. The other cats have other favourite places - verandas, under the shade of cars, and even car bonnets. The second photo shows the two culprits napping on a neighbour's car. These two particular cats enjoy lapping the last rays of the sun on car roofs or bonnets! And they always take their time to slide down the cars. One of them is so gutsy that he doesn't jump off when I approach my car, not even when I open the car door. He stays there looking at me with that laid back attitude of his until I start the engine. Even a little animal can have a mind of its own!
Many stray cats roam in this street and everyone does his bit to take care of the cats. All these neutered cats are fed daily and taken care of by the people living in the street. However, when some heartless people decide to abandon their pets in the area the cat population starts accumulating again. A vet once said that a single cat and its offspring can cumulatively produce up to 70,000 kittens in 7years. Quite a large number of cats, isn't it?

This is so very true!
They love to nap in very strange places, the other day I found our cat in the bathroom... guess where... in the bidette! Pity I did not think of taking a picture right then.
LOL!
Sue.
Oh I love the cat in the planter picture, I think that is just sooo cute!
In the second picture the cats seem like lionesses sprawled on the car!
I have noticed they like to move at the very last minute...I saw a car trying to park with a cat in the way which only moved when the car was very close!
jesus!!!! 70000! that's an entire nation of cats. i think it's true then that Malta is secretly run by cats :P
I've got a whole colony of stray cats that live in my backyard that I've taken to giving them all their own names ... hehehe ...
@Sue - as time goes by, you'll be surprised at the places that Tod will choose to sleep in. in/on wardrobes/ TV sets, on pillows, on window sills..the list is never ending.
@Doreen - I agree with you. That's what I thought when I took the second photo - two lionesses/tigresses sprawled on a car.
@Kle - you had me in stitches when I read your comment. Your comment about "Malta being run by cats" - was way too funny!
@Nick - a whole colony in your backyard?!! How have they taken to Pebbles in their 'territory'?
