Ten Weeks after Katrina - 11.07.05

These cats keep a watchful eye on possessions removed from their home. It seems very odd to be able to walk up to a house and view this in front of a home. While some people might be tempted to take these, I think most people understand the unspoken rule that this is not to be touched. Scenes like this can be found in every neighborhood destroyed by Katrina.
