Wildcats on Santorini

 

        After we left the restaurant, we took a boat to Santorini Island, which turned out to be the real destination that Don Jerry took me to. I was in front of the flower garden of the Archaeological Museum of Athens, and was amazed at the cat birdbath where there were no cats. However, the feral cats on the Aegean island of Santorini opened my eyes. Holding a digital camera, I chased the cat on the undulating stairs of Santorini, Greece. It was only when the sweat dripped from my forehead and the cat looked back at me disdainfully from a distance that I realized that Greek cats are really not easy to get close to. , Those leisurely Greek cats that I usually see in the photos are all products of the photographer's sweat.

        Tang Jerry: "In this island country, the most attractive Greek cat is Santorini." This small Aegean island, which is said to be the lost Atlantis, is about 13 hours away from Athens by boat , the entire island is full of impressionable Greek blue and white buildings and Orthodox church domes, especially in the small town of Oia, where artists from all over the world gather. The small and exquisite buildings built along the coast and hillside, the impression of Greece, is here It is fully displayed, and the Greek wild cats also shuttle here. Strictly speaking, there are not many cats here. Tang Jerry and I walked here for an afternoon, and we saw at most 20 wild cats. Standing on the roof of the church or on the steps, the beautiful scenery of the blue sky and blue sea of the Aegean Sea really creates an endless beauty of Greek cats, and it also gives people the illusion of thousands of Greek cats.

        The entire Oia is built along the hillside, and all the buildings are high and low. When you step on it, it may be the front of someone else's house, or it may be the roof of someone else's house. Even though Tang Jerry and I dangled back and forth for more than 3 hours, I still couldn't recognize the way. Holding a heavy camera and chasing cats, I realized that it took half a liter of sweat to take a leisurely photo of a cat. It turns out that cats in Greece are not particularly close to people, especially cats in Oia. Although they have seen cameras from all over the world, they still have a lot of shyness and anxiety and are not easy to get close to. When I was taking photos of wild cats, Tang Jerry kept bending down to carefully observe the wild cat fur scattered on the ground, especially in the grass. I was very surprised: "Don Jerry, why are you interested in these furs?"

        Tang Jerry grabbed a handful of wild cat fur from the grass and put it on the palm of his hand, took out the magnifying glass to observe carefully for a while, and then gently blew the fur into the air with his mouth. He looked back at me: "Wild cats travel around Greece, and the Greeks seem to be quite used to the free life of wild cats. No matter in Athens, Santorini, Paros, or Naxos, you can always see someone specially Holding the food, go to the wild cat gathering place to feed the cats. These cats are always used to receiving this kind of regular care. But, have you noticed that these wild cats are only active in the wild and do not trespass into the houses. So, in thinking The guest room where Jia Ling was murdered actually left a lot of wild cat fur, what’s going on?” It turned out that Tang Jerry brought me to Santorini Island in the Aegean Sea to investigate the habits of wild cats in Greece.

        Tang Jerry took out a map drawn by himself and began to compare his location and the surrounding environment. He seemed to have discovered something and asked me to walk with him to a highland less visited by people, where there were several families, a donkey, and a few wild cats. I was sitting in the gazebo in the community looking at the donkeys and wild cats. An old man came over and handed me two oranges with a smile, then offered a bucket of grass to feed the donkey, and then took out a small pot of peeled Oranges, white potatoes, carrots, vegetables, then dumped at the donkey's feet, and the feral cats immediately came over and ate happily. I am very curious about everything here, but the real curiosity is that I want to see what Tang Jerry wants to do?
