A friend of mine came over for dinner last night. Brenda had been in Italy last November visiting a friend of hers who is a writer. She spent half her time in Rome and the other half touring Umbria, where her friend has a second residence (with an olive grove), and Florence.<\/p>\n

We spent a long time going over our map of Rome while she told us where she liked to “hang out” in the city. At one point Brenda mentioned the “Cat Sanctuary<\/a>” in the Torre Argentina, an excavated ruin very near us. I was thrilled. My daughter will love it!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Pampered Cat<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\nI remember when I went to Rome years ago that the Colosseum was overrun with cats. As a visitor you were constantly pestered for food. It was so sad. I understand now, that the cats have been removed to a shelter and the site has been improved. However, there seems to be a huge need for places all over Rome to look after abandoned cats, who have not been spayed by their owners.<\/p>\n

I will make a point of going to the sanctuary and making a donation. I have three cats who are all very pampered!! I purposely stay away from shelters, because I could easily care for more. However, we will be on vacation and I am not going to fly one home!!<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful day!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
