First spring cats arrived! (visual story in 10 foto)

The post is dedicated to all #hivecats - as you remember, every Saturday is Caturday! This time it happened to me in full. I spent the day outside the city: an old friend of mine invited me to celebrate his birthday, we set a little company to visit the city of Zelenogorsk (thats the place where he spent his teen years). By the way, I've never been there. It's a small seaside resort town in an hour's drive north to St.Petersburg... but that's not what we're talking about today. ;)

We didn’t take a walk around the city, specifically exploring its nooks and crannies - but took a quick straightforward walk to the seaside, in Jarmusch-style... but even that fast walk showed that the town is quite cat-o-licious... to me, thats a great sign that the city dwellers are ok, the place is good.

I share with you all the cats that did not escape my camera today; but the rest of the photos (ducks, seagulls, and many, many cobblestones decorating the tide line) - will follow in a separate post... someday... 10gb and 400 pics I took need some serious efforts to shape into a decent report.

This pair were the first cats I met; they inexplicably materialized out of thin air right before my eyes - they climbed out to bask in the sun. Yes, the appearance of cats means that spring has finally arrived and warm weather has arrived.

The tricolor black-white-red cat was unusually beautiful and trusting. Let me come at a hands distance. He has very gentle eyes and soul, do you see?

These probably were someone's pets - stray cats don't have the habit of letting strangers come close.

This black cat was basking on a tree branch. No, no, she wasn’t lying in wait for the carefree sparrows, don’t think so. There are no more carefree sparrows - they all lost the evolutionary competition and are already extinct.

And the last one - probably my fave, cause, firstly, I pretty rarely see cats like this - the name of the breed is 'Sphinx', they are purebred domestic aristocratic cats, you cant encounter them randomly at the street. And secondly... look at her expressive face for yourself, and maybe you agree with me. I did about six takes (paparazzi style; didn’t dare to approach the cat owner and offer to take a portrait of his pet). I’ll show all of them another time.

Да кошки-сфинксы вообще милашки, смотришь на их череп и влюбляешься! но жить с ними теснее - трудновато, у меня был короткий опыт, лол. 😂😂

Очень соболезную, но понимаю. У одной моей знакомой была персональная аллергия на кошачью шерсть. Тоже ужасно трагичный вариант. 😳 Разреши угостить тебя хайво-пиццей в честь такой гулянки -> !PIZZA

Such awesome pictures, and yes the tricolor cat looks gentle :) Almost all calico cats are female though, so I doubt it was a he :)

'Calico'?... that was a new word in my vocabulary, and I happy to agree with you, my impression was the same that it was rather she than he (we talk about the 3-color edition here, right?). Thank you for your vizit, happy you enjoyed the visuals. Let me treat you back with a juicy Hive !PIZZA 🍕🍕🍕

God knows I’d be so scared of cat-o-licious cities because I’m scared of cats but usually admire them from afar.
The cats you shot are cute though
Love their sight

Admire from afar is quite acceptable option, they never approach to you neither attack or unite together in packs that chase you... :P 🐈🐈🐈 oh, and they are totally harmless! and eliminate rodents in your location - which proven to be a very very useful feature. ☘️ Thank you for the visit, Rafzat, and leaving a compliment to my visuals -- appreciated a lot. 🙏

Nice shots! Too bad they seem to have lost their owners, but they seem to be surviving pretty well. The Sphinx are sure an odd breed, but very popular to pet owners anymore.

Looks like not too bad a day temperature wise. I hope you guys enjoyed the walk!

The black cat looks quite apprehensive. I recognize that look. People can be mean to feral cats. Some of the other cats looked quite well fed.

Love cat pictures :)

Yes, this one was 'trained by the wild' and did not let me come closer that 2m. She might already have precautious experience against humans... 😳
