A crisp May morning in Yerevan unveils a hidden ecosystem: the city's famed street cats, far from mere wanderers, reveal themselves as integral, cherished members of the urban landscape.

This delightful glimpse into their daily routines captures moments of repose, curiosity, and an enduring comfort within the bustling Armenian capital.

A series of early morning observations, commencing just before 9:46 AM, offered intimate glimpses into these feline lives. A gray tabby and an orange tabby with white patches were captured resting on a beige, marble-like floor outside a building [14], reflecting the nascent light of the day. Moments later, a close-up revealed an orange and white tabby with warm brown eyes and a delicate pink nose [13], while another shot presented a sleek black cat with striking green eyes against a damp concrete surface [12]. Inside, near a window, a gray cat with piercing yellow eyes held the camera's gaze [11], echoing a similar scene where a grey and beige cat looked intently from above a window frame [10]. These initial captures established a pattern: cats finding comfort both indoors near windows and outdoors on building perimeters.

As the morning progressed towards 9:48 AM, the cats continued their quiet routines. A gray cat with tan patches lounged on a reflective surface [2], and an orange and white cat with amber eyes sat outdoors on concrete [9]. The theme of wet surfaces reappeared with a black cat exhibiting intense green eyes against both concrete [8] and wet asphalt [7]. By 9:47 AM, the communal aspect became more evident: an orange and white cat rested alongside a gray companion outside a window, a thermometer affixed to the wall above [6]. This domestic tableau continued with a ginger and white cat peering down from a windowsill [5], and another black cat with green eyes observed near a person's foot, a piece of food nearby [1]. The surrounding environment also came into focus, with vibrant garden scenes featuring purple clematis and yellow irises [4], and later, lush trees and green grass [16, 15], underscoring the verdant backdrop to these urban lives.

These snapshots paint a picture of resilience and seamless integration. The cats are not just survivors; they are residents, seemingly accustomed to human presence, often meeting the camera's gaze with calm intensity. Their chosen perches – sun-drenched ledges and sheltered windowsills – speak to their innate ability to find comfort and carve out a niche within the city's architecture. The presence of food and the proximity to human dwellings suggest a benevolent coexistence, where these urban felines are, if not directly cared for, at least tolerated and perhaps even cherished by the city's inhabitants.
