Looking up at the butcher suggesting it's time for a scrap to make its way down.
The cats that spend their days outside the butchers shops sleep in warm aromas of fresh meat, waking occasionally for tidbits.
The cats appear to accept limits to their rights. They might look fondly at the meat on the butchers shelf, but know not to jump up and help themselves.
Waking from a nap in the warm morning, it's time for a wash.
Having found a comfortable spot on the webbing of an old seat, this cat can concentrate on washing.
Kitten sleeping outside a restaurant in teh Medina.
Time for a serious wash for this cat. White fur in the medina is hard to keep clean.
Smooching around more hopeful for pats rather than photos.
This is Diablo, the tannery cat, finding that a carelessly put down jacket makes the perfect bed for a midday nap.
The tannery staff feed him and scratch his belly on demand. For reasons not explained, the tannery only adopts male cats.
Shall I go in, or stay here?
You are planning on giving me something, aren't you? No? Hmmm...
This resident at Nachō Mama Burrito House was unimpressed that not even orange juice was shared.
She did later get morsels of cheese for her troubles. And pats.

This mother is on the prowl in the medina.
Peering into the shadows contemplating its next move.
A safe spot to sleep the heat of the day away.

Staying white in the medina is hard work
It can pay to hang around underneath things, out of the way, and if the things have interestign scents even better.
Supping on meat scraps left out for just this reason.
A mother teaches her kitten the ways of the medina in a safe side alley. More often than not, kittens appeared by themselves, making this a less usual sight. This particular kitten was healthy and bold.

The flicking of the aperture in the lens is mesmerising to this kitten who getsright up to the lens for a closer look.

This kitten is keeping out of the way, one of its eyes mostly closed over from injury or more likely a result of cat flu.

Sleeping in the mdeina. People will go around.
Sleeping in the mdeina. People will go around.
On the move.
Afternoon nap. The midday nap was hard work.
Upturned chairs. Perfect!
A doorway is reliably safe for sitting and watching.
Arches and niches are also good places for watching the medina go by.
It's night time and things get more serious. No stopping for pats.
Despite all the food in the day, foragaing still goes on at night, but movements are quicker, bodies more alert.
The relaxed lazing around of the day vanishes with the light. Night is more tense, wary.

Cous cous the kitten on her corner. She is here most days and nights.
The king of the garbage bin, fat with the pickings.
This cat has just seen dinner coming around the corner. A delivery of chicken heads in is imminent.
Uber Eats has arrived, a bag of chicken heads delivered.
Chicken heads are tough chewing, so best to find safe spot for it.
