In what is possibly the best part of coming back to reality after vacation, the most important piece of our family returned home last night. Cali, our cat, was staying with my in-laws while we were away – a vacation for her as well, you might say. She returned smelling of my mother-in-laws perfume and excitedly explored the apartment as though it was new to her, meowing and jumping to discover the myriad of scents in every crevasse. My flip flops that smelled of sand and sea became a toy to rub herself against, something she’s never done before. Alas, the family is complete again.
I joked on twitter that I was very tempted to do a cat-centric post but would refrain for fear of permanently losing readers. Much to my surprise, I received a flux of replies encouraging me to post some photos (see below for a few of these comments):
So since I’m still trying to get back into a rhythm since our return, I thought I’d combine some photos of our dear Cali with some of the cats we spotted throughout the island. We were stunned by the number of strays and/or outdoor cats that we came across…
