No. 3. The Cats of San Juan
On the hillside next to the old Spanish barracks near the Castillo San Felipe del Morro live dozens, if not hundreds of cats. Here are pictures of a small sample. They are not feral cats. They are well cared for, with plenty of food laid out for them. They appear to be healthy and friendly. One particularly friendly cat ran up to me when I stooped to soot a picture. A local resident who we asked about them told us they are there to control the rats in the ancient buildings. I captured pictures of a small sampling.
