Daisy didn't really want to share "her" chair with this intruder, especially as it's not her toy but one I got when collecting items for photos. Happy Caturday!
Since 7th of February we know that Fiete has CRF, Feline Chronic Renal Failure. So I was busy to find a good way to keep his quality of life as long as possible. First step was to find a way that he is eating again because he lost a lot of weight and he was always a very thin cat. He will become seven years in July if the CRF will let him.
I lost old cats with CRF but they have been 19 and 20 years old. They both didn't know dry food.
Cross your fingers for our flyweight. Fiete is always such a sunshine.

Another quiet moment with the parakeets of Parco Talenti, perched on a bare branch and warmed by the winter sun. Their bright green plumage stands out vividly against the blue Roman sky, creating a scene that feels almost tropical despite the urban setting.
These birds are monk parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus), a species originally native to South America. Over the past decades they have established stable populations in several European cities, including Rome. Their adaptability to urban environments is remarkable: they feed on a wide range of plants and easily find shelter in parks and tree-lined neighborhoods.
At the same time, their success has sparked debate. In many places they are considered an invasive species because they can compete with native birds for food and nesting sites. Yet observing them here—quietly resting on a branch in a residential park—it is hard not to appreciate how seamlessly they have integrated into this landscape.
For a photographer, they represent an unexpected subject: a touch of distant ecosystems quietly inhabiting the everyday scenery of the city.

Un altro momento tranquillo con i pappagalli del Parco Talenti, appollaiati su un ramo spoglio e illuminati dal sole invernale. Il verde brillante del loro piumaggio risalta contro il cielo azzurro di Roma, creando una scena quasi tropicale in pieno contesto urbano.
Questi uccelli sono parrocchetti monaci (Myiopsitta monachus), una specie originaria del Sud America. Negli ultimi decenni hanno colonizzato numerose città europee, Roma compresa, dimostrando una straordinaria capacità di adattamento agli ambienti urbani. Si nutrono di una grande varietà di piante e trovano facilmente rifugio nei parchi e nelle aree alberate dei quartieri residenziali.
Il loro successo, tuttavia, è oggetto di dibattito. In molti contesti sono considerati una specie invasiva, perché possono competere con gli uccelli autoctoni per il cibo e i siti di nidificazione. Eppure, osservandoli qui—tranquilli su un ramo in un parco di quartiere—è difficile non notare quanto ormai facciano parte del paesaggio urbano.
Per chi fotografa, rappresentano un soggetto inatteso: un piccolo frammento di ecosistemi lontani che si inserisce silenziosamente nella quotidianità della città.

...Six ans le 1er janvier, le temps passe si vite...(mais je n'avais pas de photo "correcte" ce jour-là).
Photo un peu floue toutefois
...C'était une portée de quatre chiots. Ses trois sœurs sont nées le 31 décembre 2018 peu avant minuit, et lui le 1er janvier 2019 vers 0h30. Un petit dernier calme et pot de colle , m'avait dit son éleveuse trois mois plus tard.
...Bon dimanche et merci de vos visites. :)
Beano happily playing, blissfully unaware that his chances of stealing a loo roll are rapidly diminishing.
Every moment with Tizzy was very special. He was an elderly rescue cat who shared my home for just over a year. He was very gentle & loving. In the photo he was sleeping in the sunshine through the patio doors, one of his favourite places.
Happy Caturday!
