Where have you been ??

[katriona_s]

There are three garden cats who visit us almost every day, and whom we feed twice a day. They are not ours, sometimes one or two of them do not appear at "feeding time". One of them, which we call Nonbiri - means "slow", because when he was young he was clumsy and slow compared to other cats. Now he is still a bit clumsy but gets food quicker than others X) And he spends most of time in our garden, and is always here at the feeding time. But this morning, when I opened the shutter he wasn't on the verandah. It was rather unusual. Another one came to get food but he didn't appear, and during daytime we haven't seen him. The another one was strolling and miaowing, looked like missing Nonbiri and feeling a bit uneasy. I have worried a bit about him. I know the stray cats sometimes do this - wandering outside of his territory. Though, because another cat seemed to feel so uneasy without Nonbiri, I have cared about him all day ( by the way I have worked at home today, and it was raining today). And! at their supper time around 5:30pm, thanks he appeared! I feel really relieved. Where in the world have you been all day ??? Yes, Vee, he is your “puma”.

I'm glad Nonbiri turned up OK. I wish they could tell us where they were. Sometimes our garden cat, Bruno, doesn't come for his meals, but I did find out that someone two houses down the street also feeds him, so now we don't worry about him as much.

We've had gales and lots of rain here (a year's worth in two days further up the valley) and I think Bruno didn't want to go out in it, and he does now have a warm dry kneel to sleep in. He didn't come this morning, and only came a few hours after his normal time tonight. He was wet and very hungry.

Fortunately here in Yokohama the weather is rather mild, we seldom have too much rain or wild winds, and I'm sure our garden cats knows many places to hide. Still when they don't come here for a while I can't help worrying a bit. In 2017 when we began to feed the cats there were 5 or 6. But one cat died, two had gone for years. I know I'd miss the 3 cats which comes here now if they'd stop coming...

I'm sure you would miss them!

We always look for Bruno morning and night - I just gave him is dinner - but one worry is that he's not neutered. We will have to trap him somehow...

Oooh, yes, am I glad he is back!!! Thank you very much for taking care of him - I really like him a lot!

Haha, but we just feed them, and let them stay in our harden or on the verandah. I often want to brush him but he NEVER let me touch … X)
