The city's other inhabitants

Jerusalem is full of feral cats and I thought I would take a photo of every cat I ran into in a normal day. It turned out to be harder than I had imagined. They tend to run away before you can get your camera out and it's like being on some sort of cat safari. But, apropos of nothing in particular, here are the ones that hung around long enough for their close-ups.

Is this a wind up?

Are you sure is not the same cat with different fur? Or rather: are they Israeli cats or Palestinian?

I think they are UN peacekeeping cats, cleverly stationed around the city to move in as soon there is any trouble.
