Beautiful pics! I’m sorry that it was so cold there. I would love to visit Croatia some day.

That Oscar the Grouch cat photo is killing me! It is so cute (though I hope it didn’t actually growl at you).

I love your photos, especially of the cobblestones; they look wet because they are so polished by centuries of leather footware.

I couldn’t wait for my husband to see the cobblestones of Dubrovnik because the main street looks wet all the time. Needless to say, when we finally got there, it was raining and not only did the stones LOOK wet, they WERE. lol Guess we’ll just have to go back during a warm and dry time, just as you will.

That is one mean cat. I wish he was mine. Gorgeous photos, too.

I looked at your pictures (lovely) and wondered if you went looking for cats, then saw the above comments!

Rozanne – yes, this part of Croatia is under heavy influence from Italy. We particularly noticed it in the food – lots of pizza and pasta. And of course the architecture. And you’re right, I don’t think spaying and neutering is a big priority among Croatian cat owners.

sigga – takk. it was.

How lovely and ancient those towns look. Sorry the weather didn’t cooperate. They remind me of parts of northern Italy, which I guess isn’t surprising given the history.

That cat looks like it’s been put through a wash and dry cycle, poor thing. I guess the Croats don’t have a tradition of neutering and spaying their kitties–hence the overpopulation.
