What is the famous greek island,with white architecture houses, with hundreds and hundreds cats everywhere ?

I saw a documentary on TV, but I don't remember the name... It's a very quiet island, with a special sunlight, with beautiful white houses, with cats walking on the houses...So strange and so beautiful... Do you know ?

1. Is it Santorini Greece?
2. I think most likey your thinking of Folegandros http://www.kalispera.se/islands/cyclades/folegandros.html
3. All the islands in Cyclades complex have the same architect and they all have cats... I don't know which island you have in mind.Try searching on the Internet ''photos of Cyclades islands" and maybe you ll be lucky..
4. All Cyclades have beautiful white houses and cats walking on them, hehe. A special sunset would be from the Caldera cliff in Santorini. But not a very quiet islands, since its one of the most tourist island of the world.
5. Most islands in the Aegean are whitewashed with fascinating architecture and they all have cats. (Pest control-rats mice cockroaches etc). Depends what season the documentary was made. After October and to the beginning of May all Islands are "quiet". Folegandros is a possibility but the one island that sticks out and comes to mind is Hydra. It is arguably one of the most picturesque islands of Greece and has an impressive cat population. No cars or bikes or any mechanized mode of transport.
6. Pretty much all the Greek islands in the Cyclades are like that. As for quiet, it depends on the time the documentary was filmed. By the way, some of the islands matching your description are Santorini, Myconos, Siphnos, Paros, Milos, Serifos, Folegandros, Ios, Amorgos.
7. Everyone said Cyclades...Ok, it is a simple architecture with white houses.Have you ever seen the capitain houses of Simi, like palaces?have you seen Hydra?Lindos in Rhodes? The typical architecture in islands it is known.But here we speak about something different... Have you seen the capitain houses of Patmos? So, i recommend you to do a travel into this area, and you ll not regret it. For more information, you can ask me Regards
8. Serifos or Sifnos
9. Hello from suny Greece!. Maybe is santorini or Myconos?, well definetly an cycladic island!, it worst to visit this summer!.
10. I think it's Mykonos...It's a marvellous island...
11. Yes, true, most cycladic islands have these typical white houses and churches, and cats are to be found everywhere. My first thought however, because of the cats, was Hydra near Athens (not cyclades), but the houses there are not white. It can be anywhere.
12. Maybe it's Rhodos or Samos ?...
13. I went to Mykonos last year as well as Santorini. I definitely saw a large number of cats in Mykonos. They also have the white architecture that the islands are known for.
