Cats in Boxes in Yambol

 It was raining today in Yambol and under a protruding balcony lay three boxes. In each of those boxes lay a cat sheltering from the weather elements. Cosy or what?

Outdoor Furniture for Cats in Yambol

 This foot stool may have been thrown out but is still in use by local cats. In essence it is now outdoor furniture for cats

Water for Cats, Not Litter in Yambol

 You may mistake this plastic bowl for litter sitting in a Yambol street. But it is filled with water for the local cats to drink. However, once the water has been drunk it will then be litter!

Stray Cats Swarming Yambol Streets

Cats are all around us in Yambol. Stray cats swarming and there is a very good reason for this. Unlike the stray dogs, the locals feed the cats so they thrive on human help. However, they do keep the mice at bay although the big rats tend to scare them. 

Cats Sleeping on a Car Bonnet in Yambol

Strange place to see cats sleeping, but my neighbour's car bonnet is a favourite haunt for these tired cats. Busy all night chasing mice and rats, they deserve their rest. My neighbour is a cat lover by the way so he doesn't mind at all about this.

Block 41 In Yambol

Blck 41 in Yambol with the wheely bin rubbish service clearly seen. The bins get searched out for recyclable stuff daily by Bulgarians and Gypsies alike so only 'real' rubbish is disposed of in landfill sites. The left over food of course is scavenged by dogs, cats, mice and rats. 41 is a nice block al the same, I bet Buckingham Palace in London have rats around!

One Of Many Stray Dogs In Yambol

Everywhere you look in Yambol you see stray dogs roaming and littering the streets. Packs of stray dogs are a big danger to the public with attacks regularly being reported, many more aren't. These dogs are now meant to be all tagged but that doesn't solve the problem. Well ar least they keep the cat populaton down.

A Yambol Cat Fast Asleep

This Yambol cat was seen on the street fast asleep on a hot balmy day. With the dogs that roam around I dnt' think it will be asleep for too long, more like a catnap really. Dogs, love cats here on the Yambol street, especially for dinner.

A Grand Driveway Gate In Yambol

This is one of the grandest gates in this part of Yambol which borders the Benkovski area. Plain, functional and impressive in Bulgarian style. I like the little gap in the base of the gate presumably for cats although I might be mistaken.
