After the successful 2003 edition, Jeanne Good and Christopher Gudenzi are back with an even better pictorial essay of the Venetian cats. Not just close ups of cute cats, this calendar shows cats against a setting of scenic Venice. With its maze of alleys, lovely palazzos and its absence of cars, Venice is the perfect place for cats. Cats were first introduced to Venice over a 1000 years ago to control the rodent population. As such, the Venetians hold their felines in high esteem. Depicts captivating cats and kittens in piazzas, palazzos, on boats and on bridges. Some of the cats are feral, or "Dingo" cats. These cats are captured and fixed, then released. Shelters resembling little dog houses are built and food is provided by the DINGO orginazation. DINGO is funded entirely by citizen donation. The months of March, July and August show beautiful DINGO cats. One of the inset images shows a "DINGO condo", or housing. Includes 13 monthly, 39 inset images. Wall Calendar, 24" x! 13" wide, open. Soy based inks used. USA, UK, Australia, NZ, Canada holidays included. A portion of sales are donated to the SPCA. ggcalendars.com
