TGIGreeny says: This little fellow was part of a troop of kittens of obviously varied parentage that lived feral in the hotel where we were staying in Havana. Largely ignored by the staff and the guests, I had a tendency to feed and pet the little tykes, which caused them to follow me, en-masse, wherever I went. My girlfriend (not a cat person) referred to them as cat army for the duration of our stay. On this particular evening, I came out of our room to head for dinner only to find that the kitten and several of his friends had camped outside my door, waiting for some attention.

Keep the kitty and dump the girlfriend. And I'm NOT kidding. One thing I've learned over the years: never trust ANYONE who doesn't love animals in general, and cats in particular!

Lots of wonderful people are not fond of animals. Lots of animal lovers can be very nasty to human beings of other races or religions, for example. Pl don't ever 'dump' someone because they're not as fond of cats as some of us. And I wish there photos of the cat army camped at the gates of your hotel room! This bold brave little chap looks just like his kind in India where I live.

So adorable. I'm a sucker for tabby kittens. I bet the cat army was sorry to see you go. I'd have been tempted to hide a few in my carry-on luggage.

Awww. This kitten is so precious! Looks like my Tinkerbell. You need someone who enjoys cats as much as you do. ;) We have fur babies and love it!

Yeah, I agree with the others. Don't trust anyone who doesn't love animals,especially cats. People will always disappoint you. Aimals won't. Dump her.

I agree, too. Anyone who shows no compassion for animals usually has no compassion for anything!! And who could resist such a sweet baby!

So cute!! He looks like my Scooberosity (Scoober, for short)! He's Scooberlicious and Scooberific!!! And he knows it, too! Also, as long as your girlfriend at least likes felines, that's fine, but I have found that cat people are the BEST!

Lovely story. Maybe with some work you can rehab your girlfriend into at least being a foot soldier in the cat army. She doesn't know what love & purrs she she's missing

Such sweet eyes! An army of kittens would be so cool! How could you NOT put him in your luggage?

I'm a cat lover, and you know what, I'M PROUD OF IT!!!! I say, Love me, love my cats!!!! This kitty is a keeper, and I'll bet the cat army was something very special too!!!! And another ting---feral cats are only that when they aren't shown proper attention and aren't taken care of!!!!

Thanks for the wonderful comments everyone. Don't worry, my girlfriend is slowly coming round to the idea of us getting a cat when we move in together in a couple of months. I've posted some new pics of the cat and his friends over on Flickr:
