Patchy

I went to the same spot to look for Calling today but there's no sign of him. Neither did I see Patchy. I did notice 2 new members to the cat community there, though. They are 2 kittens. They are terribly shy and scampered away to hide when someone walks near them. Their mom, a white tabby, is OK with human presence. Perhaps I'll bring food for the nursing mother the next time.

Oh yes, I noticed a freshly dug grave at the foot of a tree nearby. Embedded in the earth was a tombstone - a smooth, fist-sized stone that was covered with words. A few stalks of flowers were placed neatly near the tombstone. There were offerings too - a paper plate full of pet food, either dog or cat food, and a bowl of water. It appears that whatever is buried beneath deceased today, as per the writings on the tombstone. I've seen such graves fo pets before but actually leaving a tombstone and offerings, that's a definitely a first today.

Here are some pictures of Patchy, a lively tabbycat that is friendly and bold. I'd love to post the pictures now but it seems there are some problems with the image upload function of Blogger. Perhaps I shall try tomorrow.

UPDATE: Here are the pictures, now that the image upload problem has been fixed.















Yeah, yeah, I know. Not a very nice shot. But I swear it looked perfect when I was previewing it on the LCD display of the camera. Perhaps I was misguided by the bright LCD display.















Patchy drinking from the water left behind by the maid who feeds the cats daily.















Patchy's hostile takeover attempt to oust Calling from his position is a resounding success.















Calling and Patchy grooming themselves after a meal.

Here's a frontal shot. She got this evil-look in this picture, right? haha~ It's just in the eyes.
