Thursday doors – 15 January 2026 – The final Marrakesh doors and cats

Doors 338 – Doors of Marrakesh and some bonus cats, January 2025 (Part XVIII)

When I went on holiday to Marrakesh with my wife and daughter last January for a little bit of winter sun, not in my wildest dreams did I think that one of the legacies would be 18 posts of Thursday Doors. I have really enjoyed sharing this series of doors, all the while reliving moments and experiences from our trip.

This final selection is a sweep-up of the last remaining doors and, as promised in an earlier post, some cool cats of Marrakesh.

There is a large population of feral cats in Marrakesh, that although they don’t appear to belong to anyone in particular, seem to benefit from a collective responsibility of citizens to offer them food and shelter. For cat lovers, it is a joy to see these streetwise characters around every corner, in shops, markets, derelict buildings and so on, and the people of the city demonstrate a tenderness and affection in the curation of them. I hope you enjoy this final selection from Marrakesh, and thank you for sticking with it:

And that, my friends, really is it from Marrakesh… I promise. I now have the wonderful challenge of deciding which doors to share next time. Have a great Thursday and weekend.

If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s weekly Thursday Doors post and his Sunday recap.
