I had a 40-hour train trip from Kolkata to Mumbai, in a sleeper class (no AC, 3-tier beds). I survived, fine, lol, and only 13$. I'll have 2 days in Mumbai before leaving India for Tbilisi, Georgia - not much time, so I'll try to be active. Already had a short walk in the old city of Mumbai - so many cats here!

I saw two tomcats fighting in an alley - fur flying, screaming, hissing... A woman quickly chased them away with a mop. I didn't photograph the fight but I snapped the cats. Who’s stronger, who’s prettier? :) Tell me in the comments! Kolkata, India

A young male stepping into the big game - his fresh signature is right there on the wall. The gauntlet has been thrown down - all that remains is to wait for the opponents' move. Kolkata, India

Data Centers Are Going To The Moon

Elon Musk announced that SpaceX will launch its first artificial intelligence satellites, equipped with Nvidia technology, in the fourth quarter of 2027. Yes, you read that right. Data centers in Earth’s orbit. And around the same time, Nvidia is putting $3.5 billion into a Taiwanese company that most people know for the chips in our phones.

Kibble-to-milk machine... Poor stray mom still tolerates her giant kid nursing. Kolkata, India

It was raining heavily; I was hiding below a bridge and then noticed two charming ticked tabbies hiding under a car. I offered them kibble but the cat mom didn't trust me and stayed under the car despite seeing food 2 meters away from her. The kid was the one who decided to try my treat, and, after hesitating, cat mom joined too.

In image 3, you can see the mom's warm gaze while she was changing my status from "a hostile, potentially dangerous ape" to "a nice person". 😺

The kid actually ate a good portion of kibble too, but then decided to have some milk as well...

She bit him (lovingly) a couple of times - perhaps trying to get him off milk.

3 days ago. I keep exploring Kolkata and its marvelous cats! Stay tuned, dear person! 😎

This old tomcat is a stray who lives at a street intersection but has (as seen in image 3) his own fenced space, a bowl with kibble, and companions. I see him almost daily when I set off for another photo walk in Kolkata, India

Look at this pattern! By the way, the kibble isn't mine - somebody feeds him. He might be a stray supported by a local cat lover. Kolkata, India

He was ready to run away, so I used the loafing-together technique to convince him I wasn't a threat.

It was yesterday. Leaving for another catsploring walk now 😎

A pregnant tabico on the street in Kolkata, India

August 24, 2026. We walked the same street, and I photographed her, and that's the whole story 😃 Love her pattern and the textures all around her.
