One privileged cat

 

If you want to be taken seriously as a photographer, especially on social media, it is probably not a good idea to post too many, if any, photographs of your cat. Dog photos, although somewhat risky, can be fine if they are artfully done. There is a bit of a history of famous photographs of dogs. But cat photos are a bit taboo, the hallmark of a hack. Be that as it may, I could not resist taking a picture of this church cat I saw in Bologna. At heart, I am a cat man, and I was amazed this little guy felt comfortable snoozing in the open. Only in a church would something like that be possible, I think.
