Batumi and Back

A thin orange cat moves to Batumi in miserable March weather, works, drinks coffee, eats Georgian food and trains on the seaside bars beside sleeping stray dogs. He grows strong and athletic there. After moving to Berlin, he is still fit at first, but months of coding, sandwiches and no exercise gradually make him thin again.

A thin orange cat arrives on Batumi's wet seaside promenade in sleet, carrying a backpack and work bag as he moves there to begin a new life.

In a rainy Batumi apartment, the thin orange cat drinks coffee and works at a laptop beside unpacked boxes, with the sea visible through the window.

The cat happily pulls stretchy cheese from an Adjarian khachapuri at a seaside cafe on a gray rainy day.

The slim orange cat hangs from a pull-up bar on Batumi Boulevard while a large shaggy stray dog sleeps beside the outdoor gym.

The healthier-looking orange cat eats khinkali and drinks coffee at a seaside cafe overlooking Batumi Boulevard.

The cat performs an Australian row on seaside bars while a different dark stray dog sleeps nearby.

The stronger orange cat drinks coffee beside kubdari, churchkhela and pastries at a sunny cafe near Batumi's waterfront.

Now muscular and athletic, the cat performs dips on the seaside bars while a large light-colored stray dog naps on the pavement.

Still muscular from Batumi and wearing black athletic shorts, the cat arrives in a rainy Berlin apartment with bags and moving boxes.

Still fit and wearing athletic shorts, the cat works at a laptop in Berlin beside coffee and a plain sandwich, with no exercise in sight.

Some months later, the cat continues coding and eating sandwiches in the rainy Berlin apartment, looking less muscular and more tired.

After a long sedentary routine, the thin cat works at his computer beside plain sandwiches, having lost the muscles he built in Batumi.
