I always see them feral cats in the alley on my never-ending walk to school everyday. They're cautious towards people and it's hard for anyone to get near them, including the very people who feed them. I estimate the cat population in that alley to be 10-15 cats, including kittens. Now there's quite a lot of people who use the alley as a shortcut from Perak Road to Taman Free School since another small lorong had been cleared out together with quite a number of houses for developement.
I used to call out to the cats but as usual, they respond with a stare. A cautious stare. But one cat seemed to be different from the rest. He's a grey, striped cat with a whole of of affection. =) Not that I don't like my fish anymore, but I've always longed for a cat, my cat. Sadly the committee don't allow cats or dogs in the block, but I've seen a poodle and quite a few kinds of miniature dogs around the block... Go figure...
Back on topic, my mood has been lifted these recent weeks because of this same cat. He'll act like a domesticated kitty around me but hostile towards others. o_O Whenever I see that patch of grey fur and I call out, he walks towards me and and craves attention so much that he'd follow me for a few metres after I continue walking... heheh...
What a cat! =)

Well since rules are meant to be broken, and someone did send the ball rolling...what harm could be done if you did keep it? After all he'd be happy, you'd be happy..and isn't that all that matters?
Coolgal, will snap a shot of the kitty once I go out and buy a roll of film.. =P
Sihouette, I don't think keeping him would be a good idea at the moment as he's not housetrained and he still detests being handled...
He's cute, once I scratch his neck for a few minutes, he'll lie down and then proceeds to swat at my hand with his claws retracted! =P I play along with him and "swats" his paw... Today, after the swatting each other, I got up and as usual, he follows me but he gets ahead of me and blocks my path! =) He then jumps into some tall grass and crouches, being a predator. At this moment, he doesn't like being touched. Only when I get up he leaps from the grass and "attacks" my leg! XD
