I even saw a little drama while photographing the cat. The photo session and feeding actually took some time, and the old lady was just standing and watching as the "foreign mister" was enjoying her cat. Then her husband came from the opposite side of the street - he was yelling at her and pushed his finger against the lady's forehead - obviously humiliating her in front of me.

I believe the kitty is a pet of the old lady, while her husband isn't a cat person, and often reproaches her wife that this "useless animal" consumes his money (rice leftovers). When I appeared with the face saying "You own treasure!! Your cat is fantastic!!!", the husband felt her wife was winning as the useless animal attracted the attention of a "rich" (lol) foreign person, socially higher than the couple (that's India!), proving that the cat has good value... That's why he got angry...

Hopefully, I was wrong, but the husband was rude to the lady right on the street in front of me - a stranger, a foreigner; such things can't be random.

Many strays have their own "palaces" in Kolkata, India

She recognized me! I fed her once a week ago, and today I came across her again. She gazed at me with confused eyes and then started meowing demanding kibble. The clipped ear hints that she might be a stray, but she's in good shape and trusts people - guess she has nice human friends. Kolkata, India

A water buffalo chilling in mud. Love them! They make eye contact with you and try to read you, they aren't super closed like some other ungulates, whose faces watch only the ground... When I see a buffie, it always warms my heart

Look at this tail... A stray boy in Kolkata, India. After snacking, he noticed a feline lady at the end of the alley and set out to try to win her heart

Feeding street cats in calico caps in Kolkata, India

Another amazing tabby from Kolkata, India. She proudly wears a collar signaling she owns humans :D But she didn't refuse to try my kibble, though she left some untouched - she was full. After snacking, she was posing for me, showcasing her artistic coat

She is owned, but her humans are very poor, and probably feed her only rice, hoping she finds a rodent for lunch. I don't reproach - the old lady, whom I asked permission to photograph and feed her kitty, was proud of her cat - she loves her, that's a lot. Kolkata, India

Breakfast in bed in Kolkata, India - street kitties meet a kibbleman :D

Kolkata's signature ticked tabby. That might be her car in the background... But the kitty wanted kibble - a good kibbleman never says no to a kitty. Kolkata, India

An old tomcat on the roof of a street stall. He looked so meditative, but when I offered him kibble, he revealed he was starving. After the portion in image 1, he started meowing so hard that I couldn't help giving him all I had with me. Big catman but timid... Poor - hard life... Kolkata, India

Today! A melancholic street kitty, but she's lucky because she lives by a pet shop where she always finds a bowl with kibble at the entrance. Kolkata, India
