The gray and white kitty was the *only* cat I've seen so far. Dogs in abundance, from terriers to retrievers to Italian greyhounds, but no cats, either pets or strays, until this fine, fat gentleman walked right up to me in the Pitti Palace courtyard and meowed.
He was very friendly, very plushy, and tried to crawl into my bag. I assume he lives in the Boboli Gardens and is fed by either tourists or the palazzo staff; he was completely tame, on the plump side, and clearly had a place to sleep and lots of attention. He was also very, very much at home.
Adorable creature, and I wish I'd brought a kitty treat or some catnip for him....
