I was taking some photos at the entrance of the “Porto Mediceo” when I met this haughty and unflappable cat. He was clearly at ease on the rocks, under a tepid sun, with half a dozen humans fishing nearby. Now and then they feed him, and a couple of lesser acolytes, with the smaller catches. I was kindly allowed a few shots, then he dismissed me, slightly waving his tail.Monday, April 13, 2009

You are nobody until you are ignored
by a cat!
It was really kind of him! Shot is great:)
Well, the audience is finished.
Lovely post :)
I absolutely envy him!
I may be top cat in my house but I know when I'm outclassed.
Nice shot!!
Cats are gods. You undoubtedly failed to pay this one the proper respect.
And you're probably lucky to be unscratched.

Great picture and story; His Royal Dignatary The King of the Livorno Harbour is a cat!
He must have been so warm and soft... Cats love to lie on warm stones... Very cute!
You know...I do love cats!
Great shot...I came back today several time just to see this picture!
Léia :-)
Great shot! The picture reminds me of my cat...she's a lazy bum as well.
A dinkum fat cat. Love the title of the photo
I so 'hate' his face :). With fur like that, no wonder he survives under the sunlight.
Love this picture and story. I have learned so much from our two cats.
Clearly the coolest of all the cats down by the harbour.
in so many place to sleep, how come this cat like the hard rocks.

Beautiful portrait of a beautiful cat.
The kitty cat is soooo cute.
