Pope rests with piano and cat ahead of World Youth Day

[gilliam]

SYDNEY (AFP) — With a newly-tuned piano at hand and a borrowed kitten for company, Pope Benedict XVI was recovering from jet-lag in Australia Monday ahead of World Youth Day celebrations.
As the pontiff rested at a Catholic retreat in Sydney after his 20-hour flight from Rome on Sunday, Christian icons and hundreds of thousands of Catholics converged on Australia's most populous city.
"This morning, he would have had early morning mass at the Kenthurst Chapel and then he's got time for quiet prayer and he'll be resting up, he'll be taking a good sleep," said World Youth Day spokesman Danny Casey.

Now I now that the Holy Father and I have something in common:
WE both like cats!
