the featured El Gato Negro just wants to get back to his flat in the Calle de Carretas, have some "Felix" cat food con atun, perch in a window and watch the folks stroll by below... Gawd I miss Madrid!!!

Zoe, that's a puppy, it apparently it was a chilly day.

This is a big tradition in Madrid. People bring all kinds of animals, including hawks, livestock, cats, dogs, rabbits, you name it...

That cat is saying, "WTF!!! I think that crazy guy in the white robes is a friend of Santorum's"

That cat is thinking, "You're letting TOTAL STRANGERS spray me with water now? Whatthehell did I do? I am SO spraying all your good clothes and books when we get home. And not with water, neither."

Are you sure that thing's a puppy? I'm sure I saw it in "Men in Black". Or was it one of the suckier "Star Wars"? I can never tell.

They took the shadowy and mysterious Codename F. to one of these things. She threw up on the priest.

Codename F. was awesome.

That gato negro knows those Spanish priests used to burn his kind beside the witch who cared for him.

Euopean cats have long memories.
