Niko watching me make tea
When we went to Italy, there were cats everywhere!
We rented an apartment in Positano, where 2 cats
were hanging out in the front courtyard. We have two
cats at home, and when we travel, I miss them terribly.
I decided these were going to be our Substitute
Italian Cats. I even named them. The black one is
Luciano, and the other is Niko. I don’t know if
they were stray, or just belonged to the neighbors.
We were very high up on the cliff, so that’s quite a
Niko by front gate
climb for stray cats, I think. 
So pretty! Love the cats.
