This is Lusi, a young black alley cat from the Algarve, Portugal. I met her while wandering the streets of Alvor looking for pretty pictures. A little shy at first but later increasingly brave, she allowed me to photograph her. A bag of kibble helped ;-). She climbed this amazing blue, turquoise staircase with yellow, red and white fish painted on it. Her yellow eyes were a nice contrast to her black fur, and match the yellow fish well. I think she is a cool cat. What was she looking at? Other cats from the street who were after her loot?
On her guard because life is tough for a street cat.
Maybe this summery Mediterranean portrait of a brave Lusi will find a place on your wall. If so, thank you! Also on behalf of Lusi. Because with the purchase of this picture you support her indirectly. After all, I donate food and photo's to the shelter in Alvor.
