Skiathos...












...I fell in love with that place! The island has many nice beaches and 4 small mountains covered with all kind of trees - a combination that generates a wonderful salty-fresh smell!

The small city has tiny roads and white little houses, orange and lemon trees, many flowers and lots of restaurants, pubs, coffee houses, etc..

And, of course, the cats.. huge monsters! You see them all over the city, sleeping in the sun or feeding around the garbage at night.. some love them some don't. Apparently a few years ago the mayor had them poisoned and they had a rat problem.
Anyway, we busted the myth that ginger cats are all males! It's said that one in a million is the exception, but we only fixed 120 cats and 2 ginger cats were females. :)

Although we went there to fix as many cats possible, I had the feeling that we're on vacation. Living in a hysterical grey city as Bucharest is, it was very nice to spend 5 days in such a peaceful place. Now that I'm back, I can't believe it's less than a month since we were there, it seems more like an year away!

Well, to conclude, it was great to meet nice peoples, eat good food, visit beautiful places (Athens left me speechless!) and fix some cats!

Here's some photos.. hugs and kisses to everybody! muah! Irina

Really? I had no idea that female ginger cats are so rare, since I have a whole family of them at the countryside...males and females... I read a bit about it and it seems that it's not actually sex-linked (as with calico cats): males only need one ginger gene, while females need both...you get the point...
