Don't Feed the Cats

Posted by Daryl Johnson (Farnham, United Kingdom) on 15 April 2008 in Animal & Insect.

There were signs everywhere telling people not to feed the cats, but there was definitely some kind of cat party going on. This is the same location as this shot from Gabriela... http://japanalia.aminus3.com/image/2008-04-06.html

Although I'm now in England, this blog will still feature photos from Japan for the foreseeable future.

I apologise in advance if I'm tardy with commenting on your blogs or returning comments during the week... I will get to you though!

A party for cats is probably bad news to mice. I wonder are those cats related, as they have similar colours and fur patterns.

I did not see the cats! My shots were from last year's spring; this year I didn't make it anywhere, except my neighbourhood!They seem to belong to the same family of strays....and, of course, everybody is willing to feed them, they are sooooo cute and meowwwwww!
