We passed this kitty on our morning walks.
There were cats everywhere I looked along Kaanapali Beach.
Are they feral? Each seemed content and indifferent to people walking by. I hope they are as healthy and well fed as they look, none were scrawny.
On the other hand, the chickens that roamed everywhere we went did look scraggly. We saw them in parking lots, trees, streets, along the beach, yep, all over the place. I didn’t come across any on the grounds of our hotel, but I was serenaded by their morning crowing.
As I chicken person, missing her flock way back home in Kansas, I both loved seeing them in their wild freedom, and worried about their living standards. From what I’ve read, the over population of these fowl is a big problem in Maui.
The roosters inspired me to do a few paintings in a colorful, flowery style. I gifted this one to my sweet brother-in-law we were traveling with. I might keep one for myself too. Or take them all into Juju, I haven’t decided yet.
