Water Bowl

There were water bowls placed discretely through the cemetery.

Tipped ear

Most of the cats didn't look like they had tipped ears - but this one did. It looks too deliberate to be from a cat fight and looks more like a tip on the right side. Unfortunately I couldn't ask the caregiver.

As I thought, the caregiver turned up a few minutes later and there were a group of cats waiting. The caregiver was medicating some of the cats. I asked her about the cats but she didn't speak much English and my Spanish is non-existent. I managed to gather that some of the cats have cancer of the nose.

Cat in Recoleta Cemtery

I saw this cat today at the Recoleta Cemetery in Argentina. I read before going there that there were a group of women caring for and sterilising the cats in the cemetery. This cat looked a little thin and might have some kind of skin disease - but she knew the rustle of a paper bag. I was reaching into my bag to get my camera and she thought there was food. She was also clearly waiting for someone.
