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.

That cat is looking awfully shifty. It either broke the statue or is about to tell a lie.
ReplyDeleteI love that! So perfectly composed. The cat was certainly posing well for this shot.
ReplyDeleteKitty doesn't look too worried. Don't cats always tell the truth, LOL?
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing pic. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
That sure is a sweet one!
ReplyDeleteThat'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 :)
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteThat's a marvelous picture! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the kitty tried to put paw in the mouth :-)
Sweet little kitty,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteI do hope the mouth does not bite the cat. Nice pose of cat.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful Italian kitty!!!
