Cat from Rome {Italy}

on
rome mouth of truth bocca della verità

This Roman kitty is sitting in front of Bocca della Verità - The Mouth of Truth. Rumor has it the statue will bite your hand off if you're telling a lie. The Mouth Of Truth makes an appearance in the 1953 movie Roman Holiday, in which Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck challenge each other to tell the truth in front of the statue.

P.S. Roman cats at the Spanish Steps and the restaurant Da Meo Pataca.

    That cat is looking awfully shifty. It either broke the statue or is about to tell a lie.

    I love that! So perfectly composed. The cat was certainly posing well for this shot.

    Kitty doesn't look too worried. Don't cats always tell the truth, LOL?

    That's so funny, we were talking about Bocca del Verita just yesterday. The kitty in front of it looks so innocent, dispelling all old superstitions :)

    This is a totally amazing picture!!! The cat looks so tiny in front of the huge Mouth Of Truth. This should be on a magazine cover, it is so startling and cool!

    I do hope the mouth does not bite the cat. Nice pose of cat.

    The statue just looks like it's surprised the cat is so close to its mouth. The cat, meanwhile, just looks like it doesn't care one way or another... classic cat move.
