Check out pretty little Pippa. She was the resident cat at La Sorgente*, the bed and breakfast we called home during our visit to Baveno and Stresa in northern Italy.
Fun feline fact: the Italian name for “cat” depends on its gender. A female cat is “la gatta” while a male is “il gatto.”
“In the little cat’s eye that sees my soul and stares into my heart,
there is nowhere to hide. I see my reflection.” – jenniferkellandperry.com
“Happy is the home with at least one cat.” – Italian proverb
*La Sorgente Bed and Breakfast is near the Alps and on the shore of the beautiful Lake Maggiore. I highly recommend the area as an Italian destination.

Ahh…she looks beautiful, so serene! Also, her colourings match the walls inside and out perfectly!! Lovely photos of La Gatta and her dreamy drifty musings! 😀

Perhaps her owners picked her out for that very reason, to coordinate with their decor! 😀

I know, hey? We did, but alas, three’s a crowd. Maisie and Viv would not have been pleased.

Pippa’s markings are beautiful. If I had her view I’d have my nose at that window all day! 🙂

I went to their website to make sure it was still operational and it is. We were there in summer but the winter view pics on the site were just as heavenly!

Pippa is as intrigued by all the colorful homes and pieces outside of your window as I am. Our homes are mostly browns, grays, off-white. Love the yellow and soft red.

Pippa is lovely, I have a little sign in my yard saying ‘Attenti il gatto’ that I got from Rome.
