Twelve Cats in Nafplio, Greece

As I sat on our balcony overlooking a little cramped square in Nafplio, a cat jumped up and over a wall. Another strolled along the edge of the building. One lay in the sun, another in the shade. One climbed down the stairs. I started keeping track of their colors, to see how many different cats I was looking at. I counted:

1. All black
2. All ginger
3. Black and ginger mix (prettiest one of all)
4. Black with white legs and face
5. Black/gray/brown stripy
6. Brown and white (Siamese-type pattern, but not quite)
7. Brownish gray with white belly and very pink inside ears
8. White with gray spots
9. Light gray and white
10. Gray striped and white
11. Black, gray , & white with injured hind legs (which were pink)
12. Gray and white with pink collar (none of the others had collars)

At this point I stopped counting and had to go in. But I thought that was pretty amazing to see a dozen cats in the same little square in a small town within about a quarter of an hour. There may have been more gray-and-white ones that were too similar to distinguish.
