Athens, First Cemetery cats

Went round the NC today.... always liked looking at the headstones and sculptures you find there. The First Cemetery of Athens (Greek: Πρώτο Νεκροταφείο Αθηνών) is the official cemetery of the City of Athens and the first to be built. It opened in 1837 and soon became a luxurious cemetery for famous Greek people and foreigners. I wanted to see how the architecture differed from English cemeteries. Very little green vegetation aside from alot of tall trees which made for some nice shadow-photo's. Biggest impact on me... more cats. Again a good few kittens and most hanging around with Mum. One poor little black fella had a snotty nose, not looking like he's gonna get that treated - he is in the bottom of the foto with the Mum & kittens. A few quite skinny kittens, what the hell are these guy eating as there isn't much on offer aside from some pigeons that I could see and I can't see the visitors feeding them. Saddest site was a young kitten sleeping in a plant pot. Alot of the cats I have seen so far at least 'look' quite perky and alert, this little guy just looked sad.....
