Black Cats House
I guess Black Cats House is one the few Riga sights, which still have not been presented on Riga Daily Photo.
The urban legend says that initially Black Cats were installed like they were sh*tting on the Great Guild, the building which is just across the street. Then the guild elders forced owner of this yellow building to turn the cats.
Also, here is a famous place called Melnais Kakis.
Dear Anonymous, I have been coming to this house many times during the past month in order to catch better picture and better light, but this is maximum, what I could take with my camera.

Who ever you are (person who is taking care of this site) BIG THANK YOU.This site is my daily web stop, since I discovered it last month.
I lived in Riga since 1979 till 2001, and after theat I left the country, and never being back. All you precious labor means a lot for me. I can see how this beautiful City looks like now.
Amazing transformation after only 8 years.
Don't pay attention to much on what camera you have, or light, there is a soul in all of your pictures, which brings DAILY JOY!

I am with anonymous. I love this picture! When I become a rich property developer I am going to build this smack bang in the Middle of Melbourne and watch all the displaced Latvian's come past for a rubber neck. Hope the design hasn't got copy right?
Oh and I want to stick a VAZ on the roof.
When are you going to put some about the two cats house or the three brothers houses?. I am waiting.
I am going to make a tatoo with the black cat of Riga :)
