Cats are ubiquitous in Greece's Cycladic Islands. Mykonos, Milos, Paros, Naxos and the other havens of legendary Mediterranean beauty are populated by cats of all types, sizes and colours. Living alongside the islanders, they are never allowed inside family homes, but are nonetheless welcomed as fellow inhabitants, rodent catchers and companions. Fed, cared for, but never pampered or tamed, they lead spontaneous, natural existences, whether sunning themselves, befriending fishermen, patrolling their territories or stalking their prey. The author spent three years tracking, observing and recording them, penetrating their private world and capturing their attitudes in every situation. These were brought together in "Cats of the Greek Islands"(1993). In this new volume, some of those photographs are brought together in poster-sized format.
