It takes a village


but not to raise a child this time but to care for a cat. Meet Ptah II. His mistress is in the U.S: for six weeks visiting family and he's being looked after by me and Babette and Jean-Pierre the green grocers, who make sure he gets food, water, clean litter and several love fests a day. The other people on the street know we are doing this, and would fill in if needed.
The photo was taken while he sat on my lap, purring his little heart out and showing his "squidgy eyes," the squint he has perfected when he is happy.
We suspect he would trade us all in for his owner who is there much more than we are, but until she comes back, he has no need to call the French Society for Protection of Cruelty to Animals.
