Pigeons and ducks

Various winged creatures looking for a meal on the riverside.

Birds and buildings

A riverside view.

The birds

The last few migrating birds are leaving the city ahead of the coming of winter. They are indulging themselves in their traditional flocking dance. Happy Skywatch!

Street cat

Young and carefree!

Kitties!

Liège cats wearily ignoring each other.

Geese sleeping in the grass

Not a bad place for a nap!

Demolition cat

The cat I posted yesterday was hanging around the demolition site I blogged about last week. He was hiding in the reclaimed steel cable.

Cat, sun, dirt

A cat enjoying the sunshine, rolling in the dirt and the dust. Tomorrow I'll show you where exactly it was doing this.

Seagulls. Thousands of 'em.

Well, maybe not thousands.

Happy ending

Well, the kitten story has a happy ending. They all found new homes! We placed an avert on chiens-chat.be and we were inundated by emails. Here's a couple of photos of the last kitten just before her new mom came to collect her.

Kitty update

The four kittens we found on Sunday are still staying with us. They're in much better shape and are growing amazingly fast. We're trying to find homes for them.

Cuteness overload

We found these four little bundles of joy abandoned in a cardboard box on the street. It's 4 degrees Celsius out there, we couldn't leave them. They're in our bathtub now, wrapped up in blankets and sleeping blissfully. Tomorrow we'll take them to the vet and then the refuge.

More pigeons

A different view of yesterday's pigeon love story. That's how they met.

Skywatching pigeons

Pigeons can Skywatch too!

Unexpected!

An unexpected sight greeted us in the Cathedral square today. You don't get to see cows in city centres very often.

Its calf was there too, napping happily in the sun.

Not to mention a fake cow painted in the colours of the Belgian flag!

The whole thing was a publicity stunt for a new brand of local fair trade milk.

Pigeons!

Pigeons lines up in Place Saint Lambert, watching the Christmas shoppers.

Black and white

Rabbits lazing around in the rabbit farm of the Parc de la Boverie.

Just working on my tan

A Liège cat doing what cats do best!

Catwatch Friday

Skies and clouds are OK on their own but they become much cooler when they serve as cat background.

You can find many other sky pics (mostly catless, sadly) at the Skywatch Friday Blog.

Crocodiles don't eat turtle

Four turtles and a crocodile in the Aquarium of the Muséum de Liège. Either the crocodile doesn't like turtle meat or they keep him very well fed...
