    Oh, what pretty little kitties. I'm sure there are plenty of opportunities for them to nap - cat's do like to nap. I wonder if the monks feed them or do they hunt? Great shot. Love the comp and the tennis shoes in the background. I guess that's the Monk's nod to a bit of modernism. Gotta take care of the feet.

    I wonder if there are mice in the monastery that the cats keep down--or are they really just pets? Nice shot of them.
