I stroll through the covered and slightly dilapidated downtown shopping streets of Naha, on the Japanese island of Okinawa. I see a cat in a very narrow lane. I follow him, and I arrive in a half-abandoned park where dozens of stray cats bask in the sunlight. It's hot; the park is almost deserted; time seems to have stopped.

That one peering into the bucket looks like he's using it as a barf bucket. LOL

The first one looks sick, poor thing and the little kitty with the blue eyes, I just want to cuddle but it would probably tear me to shreds. Love the pic of the man going up the stairs with all the kitties following him.

ReplyDeleteThese kitties appear to be down on their luck. Makes me kind of sad.

The photo of the cat drinking in a blue bucket is so cute!
ReplyDeletemost of the photos just make me want to cry. Too bad they don't use TNR to keep the kitty population in check. So many clearly starving cats.
ReplyDeleteThat first kitty looks pretty skinny and scruffy. I wonder if the have TNR programs in Okinawa?
