Shadow

Sis and I have been feeding the black cat the past week and now she seems more friendly. A few times she would walk ahead of us and seemed reluctant to let us go or even want to follow us home. However, we can't keep her as our pet because parents only like our 4 hamsters and it will be unfair to thrust a cat that they are uncomfortable with when sis and I are working or out of the house most of the time. What I try to do it to visit Shadow (our name for the black cat) after work and over weekends to feed her and play with her. She is still quite shy but would stay near us after she finishes eating and drinking. I realise cats drink lots of water and I have been bringing along a small bottle of water and a plastic saucer together with dry cat food to feed Shadow and other community cats that I may bump into.

I just took this photo after breakfast from our unit @ the 11 storey and that should be Shadow hiding in the structural pillar in the park (see the black spot in the centre of the photo). She sometimes hides there from no one or from this other cat that we nicknamed Hunter. He comes and goes. We see him around sometimes and he would want to eat and drink too. Shadow would run away and hide if Hunter is stalking her.
