The quiet partner

Kiwi

Kiwi The Tabby: an adopted female tabby, seven years old. She loves long walks on the beach and bird watching, and would like you to stop and say hi if you see her around. The quiet partner in all of Bekircan Tahberer's work — and the only cat with a tab of her own on this site.

Kiwi's diary is kept on Instagram: the morning routine, plans to take over daddy's chair, inspecting his coffee mates, foot-warming duty. Every tile here leads to a post; if you wish, you can open the posts right on this page with Instagram's embed.

Why a cat tab?

Because there is always a cat on a researcher's desk next to the coins; because nothing describes the present day of someone who reads two-thousand-year-old bronzes better than a tabby counting birds at the window; and because our founder asked for it. Kiwi's account is @kiwidatabby; Bekircan's own is @bekircan_tahberer.
