Turkish chonk

Ginormous Turkish lion securing prime beachfront sunbed and ready to defend against all rivals feline or human. 10/10 for chumminess and physics-defying mass. Would stand in awe of again. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Istanbul Metro ticket inspector

Redundant Istanbul Metro ticket inspector thrown on the scrapheap by automation. Bids goodbye to his blissfully ignorant wife then sleeps all day on the platform that used to be the source of his livelihood.
10/10 for living a lie.
Would join in his subterfuge again

Turkish tough guy

Turkish bruiser staring into the middle distance; serving 5 stretch for clawing naǐve British cat-lovers who try to pet him.
Would be fearful of him/her again.
10/10 for mardiness.
Would visit in prison again

Greek taverna front of house tux

Greek taverna front of house representative resplendent in full tux. Too proud/thick to beg properly. Probably makes ends meet with a side hustle when casting directors are looking for a stand in as an otter. 10/10 for hospitality. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

Pennine Way toll collector

Pennine Way toll collector expertly exacting payment in rubs and strokes from footsore travellers. 10/10 for hiking hospitality. 0/10 for lack of Kendal Mint Cake. Would fusspuss again.

Heart of darkness.

Eyes as black as Whitby jet. A momentary window into this Cypriot ginger’s heart of darkness. In fairness, he was cheesed off that, once again, we could offer only beer and peanuts. 10/10 for allowing us our anthropomorphic projections. Would disappoint again.

Sweet to sour

Seaside promenade tux-fluff turns from sweet to spicy in a heartbeat. 10/10 for caprice and rightful indignation that we came bearing no gifts. Would proffer biccies next time.

Seymour the Paphos Airport Cat

Other airlines/cats are available but say Kalispera to Seymour, Jet2’s genial host and groundstaff at Pafos Airport, Cyprus. 10/10 for filoxenia and corporate livery. Would headboop again. @thecatreviewer.bsky.social

@thecatreviewer.bsky.social Incarcerated panther in Frigiliana, Spain starts tunnelling his way out. 10/10 for strokeability. Would fuss again - and next time bring hacksaw hidden in Dreamies…
