Père Lachaise cemetery

Last month I was in the Montparnasse cemetery and today I was looking for stray cats in the Pere Lachaise. This is the only one I saw. Not the best picture of the day but it's what I wanted to photograph. Of course, I took many more pictures, you can see them on my blog: http://aparisouailleurs.canalblog.com/archives/2011/09/29/22191397.html
I look at that face and I think his name could well be "Pierre"... So charming! And I like the fact that you went looking for cats!

@Weezilou oh Louise, my father's name was Jean-Pierre and his ashes are in the pere Lachaise. Of course you couldn't know but you make me feel happy and sad, very strong feelings. Thank you so much Louise

My uncle I never knew was named Pierre...who can explain some things...the name came to me... Sharing what you did brings a deeper meaning to your photo; thank you for that...

Lovely shot as usual. I love the markings on the cat and the deep shadows that help highlight him.

Cute! I love those places. Those cats really are old souls. When in Rome I always visit the Cimitero Acattolico, there's a big cat colony living at the cemetery and the near-by ancient pyramid.

@geertje because it's like a big park, it supposed to be full of stray cats, like Montmartre cemetery... it's the only one I saw but i don't really like to spend time in cemeteries so i don't really know...
