Aisle’s Travel Theme this week is Belonging. While visiting the Roman Forum last month, I came across a feline character with a strong sense of belonging. While I snapped a few photos of him, he didn’t leave his spot and stared at me as if to say: “These are my digs. I belong here; you don’t.” I had no doubt that was the case…

There he is, sitting comfortably, minding his own business.

As I approach, he looks away, visibly annoyed.

Gets up to get away from the lenses.

But doesn’t leave. Instead, gets up to a higher location.

And confronts me.
