Sweet Slinky Walking in L.A.

Sono un Gatto Sforzesco. Sono uno dei tanti gatti che hanno fatto del Castello Sforzesco la mia dimora. Si ritiene che i miei antenati risalgano all'epoca di Leonardo Da Vinci. La maggior parte di noi vive nei fossati che circondano le mura del castello. Solo i turisti più attenti avranno l'onore di intravederci. Essendo uno dei felini residenti più coraggiosi, spesso vagavo per il cortile intrattenendo i visitatori umani. È stato lì che ho conosciuto SweetSlinky un giorno di primavera tanti anni fa (2017). Lei è una di quelle attente che ci fa visita da quando era ragazza. È da un po che non ci viene più a trovare spesso come una volta. Si dice che si sia trasferita in una grande città lontana dove i gatti di strada, per qualche motivo sconosciuto, non vivono nei castelli. Comunque, ogni volta che le capita di essere a Milano, noi siamo la sua prima tappa. Se vuoi sapere più su di noi e magari darci una zampa, clicca qui: Gatti Sforzeschi I am a Gatto Sforzesco.

Hello, I am the Perris Valley Airport Cat. I like to hang out around the on site restaurant. I'm very friendly. I like pets and scritches. Please come visit me. My airport is a great place for a day trip from L.A. You can watch the sky divers, visit the Southern California Railway Museum , and have dinner and a drink at the Bombshelter Restaurant .   I have a good life here. Plenty of space to roam around and no cars. I am fed and all my basic needs are met. My only gripe is that the majority of the human visitors are here to jump out of airplanes. I know it's hard to believe, but they don't give me as much attention as I would like. I'm always happy when Sweet Slinky comes to see me. For her, I am the main attraction.

Hello, I am the WeCo Wall Cat. I am a community cat in West Covina, California. I often hang out in local flowerbeds, bringing joy to all those who pass by. I get regular meals from friendly humans that feed me and other neighborhood strays. As a community cat I do my part in keeping the rodent population under control. If you should ever encounter me or any other stray, please treat us with respect and kindness. Life can be  difficult for those of us who live on the streets. A little bit of mercy toward us can go a long way. The Cat Joy Project was conceived in late 2024 when I found myself feeling overwhelmed by a sense of doom and gloom. I needed to refocus my attention. And so the idea of creating quilted cat squares as a way to share my love of cats, walking, and Los Angeles was born. After spending the latter part of 2024 and the first month of 2025 teaching myself to sew, the project is now ready to be launched. The hand sewn quilted squares will be released on my walking ro...

I am the king of the 6th St viaduct cat colony. This is my story: I held court at the Boyle Heights neighborhood cat colony in the shadow of the 6th St. viaduct. I have moved on from the streets, but my colony is still going strong. There are feeders that care for the felines and do their best to get them spayed and neutered. Despite being an outdoor cat, I was quite friendly. I encountered Sweet Slinky many a time and let her pet me and take my picture. If you find yourself in the neighborhood pay a visit to the cats who still reside there. They can be found roaming around near the corner of Clarence and Inez streets. Community cats like myself are beneficial to our cities. Learn more about how we help humans here:  Benefits of Feral Cats . One last thing, I may be the king, but all cat rule.  If you found the quilted square made by SweetSlinky please leave a comment here to let her know that is has gone to a good home.  The Cats of the Colony The Cat Joy Project was con...

  If you follow me,  SweetSlinky , on social media you'll know that I spend a lot of time walking around L.A. and I'm always looking for cats to photograph. Sometimes I even take pictures of cats without knowing I'm taking a picture of a cat. I snapped this photo because I liked the poster. It wasn't until after I'd posted it on social media that someone pointed out the black cat in the window. It has since become one of my favorite cat pictures and the inspiration for this cat square. I hope it will bring joy to the person who found it. If that person is you, please leave a comment here. Thanks!

  Towards the end of my Whittier walk you will pass Monte's Camera Shop. The shop on its own is worth a visit. However, the main reason I included it on my route was Thomas. Thomas could often be found sunning himself on the sidewalk in front of the store. If you stopped to pet him he would climb onto your shoulder for cuddles. I recently learned that he passed away in 2023 - at the ripe old age of 23! I will miss him and in his honor Monte's will always be part of my visits to Whittier. Thomas on Google street view!
