As is traditional throughout Greece just prior to Greek-Orthodox Easter, village women paint (whitewash) lines on the steps and walkways. When I did my painting yesterday, a dozen or so cats decided white toes are fashionable.

The cats joined me in my work and you can see the resulting paw prints in the photo. (Who minds a slight mess if everybody's having fun?)

Today people on our little island are climbing hills to reach tiny chapels way up in the sky. Soon all the buildings will be freshly white. I wonder if cats tag along to assist them, too.

Q: Did you ever have a painted cat?
