Cats from Paris {France}

glenn mccurdy chats paris

If only Parisian pigeons could be replaced by cats... 

But even though cats aren't as common a sight as pigeons, photographers still succeed in immortalizing them. 

Here are the most beautiful pictures of cats in Paris from the 1920s to the present day. 

Thee photographs will draw you into the secret world of the French cat as they explore the city's most famous and feline-friendly spots.

Say "bonjour" to the cats of Paris as they slink through its fabled streets and alleyways, from Montmartre to the Champ de Mars, or as they lounge about behind the windows of restaurants, shops, or even their own homes.

    Of course in France the cats surrender to the mice. I did really like the tiny beret.

    This is almost an embarrassment of feline riches. What glorious photos!! As I type this, my oldest, Cecilia (pronounced à l'italienne), is sitting in front of the screen, purring away and trying to distract me from the competition. Oh well, she's pretty much allowed to do anything she wants. This month she turns 21 years old. We've been together since she was a kitten. The rest of the members of our cat ménagerie knows that she is the Queen of her Castle. My husband and I serve as butler and housekeeper, respectively.

    So delighted to have found you through Mariette.

    Cheers, M-T

    I don't normally associate Paris and cats. But these were beautiful and in so many cases, particularly sophisticated although the little girl looked as though she was going to squish to cat to death.

    I really enjoyed these pictures!

    I was surprised to see old pictures of cats with leashes - I thought this was a modern thing. I wonder what is happening on this picture with all the black cats in a row? Some kind of cat show / exhibition?

    First time seeing cats put on a leash. Are they having some kind of cats exhibition or competition? I think the one with the cap is really cute. Purrr.....

    Oh wow, so many cute kitty images. I do not usually see kitties on leashes though, I guess it is good to keep them safe. The beret kitty is adorable.. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a happy weekend!

    Great post and book but it would have been nice if you'd set up links for us to paste into facebook, G+ etc. When I tried to paste URL's it just went to your blog, not the book. I don't mind promoting, but I am not terribly computer literate so it would help to have links set up that we can then copy and place on the sites you ask for. I finally just gave up.

    My old cat Max would tolerate a leash, but NOT if you were holding it. It had to be tied to something, else he was offended and would fight back.

    What great pictures! Mom has framed postcards from France with cats and a lovely book in French she bought there. The one picture of the cat on the roof reminds her of a hotel room and watching a cat walk all over the roofs and then go back in his house through the window. Only in France! Love Dolly
