Yes, I spent two hours in Palermo today admiring the Norman Palace with its dazzling Palatine Chapel and Royal Apartments that are now the chamber of the Sicilian Parliament.
But what excited me, and most other visitors, almost as much as the exquisite mosaics and the frescoes depicting six of the Twelve Labors of Heracles was this totally relaxed cat napping at the exit.
Even cats at erstwhile royal palaces need a break. Photo Credit: Joel Stratte-McClure
