It’s a hard life for the cats of Burano.  Often people  put out a bit of food on the sidewalks in front of their homes for the stray cats of the island.  The gulls and the pigeons immediately start to stalk the cat … and as one distracts puss another dives in to take off with some of his lunch.  This reminded me of many a documentary I’ve watched with my children about the lions of Africa hounded by vultures trying to carry off some of their supper.  Of course, lions, being in a group easily control the situation.

  1. Poor kitty!!! Surrounded by feathered mobsters! You can almost envision them in little pink spats, growling, “that’s my food, see?”

    I love how you’ve captured the motion in the second shot — pretty neat!
