The cats in these images are not cats owned by Shenoy, although she has said that cats are drawn to her...“Cats always come to me and are friendly with me. My earliest childhood memory was with a black cat that we used to own,” she told me. “When I travelled to Orissa [now Odisha], India, I came across an interesting custom in a temple, where cats are worshipped." These images, or at least two of them, were taken at the temple she mentioned, Kedar-Gouri Temple.
