One of the semi-feral cats living in the bolt-holes beneath the Catherine Palace in Tsarkoe Selo.

Another Palace Cat (click for larger image) checks out some noise made by a group of kittens.

Kittens stray from their bolt-hole while their mother is away, causing extreme consternation among the other adults in the colony, and amusement to the tourists.

Mother returns, on the rampage, chasing her kittens back inside their safe-hole, and hissing at tourists who strayed too close to her brood. (click for larger image)
