Near our hotel, at the end of the road, we noticed this strange little area of plush animals, dolls, bears, and cat trees and beds. It also had a sign and box asking for donations for this Cat Village.
When you looked closer, you could see various real cats nestled among the plus animals. This one I found to be a very interesting composition.
The cats have a good life here, at least in this corner of Malta. Here in St. Julian’s, you see cats everywhere and they look well fed. Occasionally you see a restaurant owner feeding them with fish. At least five cats were always present at breakfast on the terrace. Nobody minded them and they seem quite happy.
From cats to men. The local men we saw were mostly fishermen, rugged looking and hard working.

This one was too tired for a conversation.
The cats around our hotel and nearby restaurants looked much better fed and groomed than those guys working the seas.
