And a few pups too.
It wasn’t hard to pinpoint my favorite aspect of visiting Essaouira: the cats! In general there are cats all over Morocco, but Essaouria has the most of any city I’ve visited thus far. The best part is that because Essaouira is a coastal town, the cats are well fed on fresh seafood. Their coats are shiny and glossy and their bellies full. I wish I could say the same for the cats hanging out in Marrakech but they are skinny, scruffy, and dusty in comparasion. Maybe I can run a kitty relocation scheme and transport these poor city cats to the coast.
The following is a lot of cat photos with a few puppies tossed in too.
You can see why I was excited to return to Essaouria just a few weeks later.
To see my other cat posts… Laos, Thailand, Kuwait, Jordan, Azerbaijan.
xo, jill
Oh. My. God.
These cats have life completely figured out.
I knew a Moroccan guy once who thought it was weird that I had a cat as a pet…

blah!!! I love it! kitties steal my heart every time!
This reminds me so much of my visit to Istanbul! I have never seen so many cats roaming the streets like I did in that city – and even though they were strays there were very well taken care of by locals who would leave food out for them. I have a feeling I would also like Essaouira. 😉
