Strays!

---

Throughout the city of Athens and all of the archeological sites, many stray animals are present. The mayor of Athens actually provides food and collars for some of the stray dogs in the city. Stray cats are more prominent in the rural country settings, such as Delphi and Mycenae. Some of the strays appear to be healthy though, kind of like they belong to a town or city; they seem like the collective responsibility of everyone who comes in contact. Since most of these places are heavily visited by tourists as well as having a regular staff, these animals seem to have found the proper place to scavenge for food. Others, however, are not as lucky but seem get along. If you are friends with me on Facebook, this is why I have so many random pictures of cats (and also because Sara, my good friend, loves cats—they are for her essentially!)
