My Four Street Wise Cats ( Part One)

When I moved in to my wife place in Tampines back in December 2002, I was pleasantly surprised to find a number of well fed cats loitering at the void deck. I was immediately smitten by them. I don't have any picture of them.

I can remembered clearly Zack, the young male cat, who is trying to be the dominant one.
When I saw him for the first time, he has the aura of charisma and confidence. He is a strong cat too, when I fed him chicken drumlets, he tored it into half with his teeth immediately and I can hear the crunching sound he made. Must be hungry, I thought. He even bullied the madame of the quartet, Hitam. Unfortunately, Zack disappeared from the block. I suspected that the lady on the 3rd floor brought him to her near home. Good bye old friend, you always been a fighter in my eyes.

Hitam means black in my native tongue. There is really something common about the cats, I will definitely let you know about that later. She is well fed, amiable and reserved female. Zack likes to bully her, like grabbing her from behind. Luckily, she has that part removed else I will be watching XXX rated scene in front of me! Occasionally she likes to rub my legs when I reach home in the evening. I still see her sometimes resting at the stairs and she still recognized me all these years. She purred affectionately whenever I stroked her. I think she has taken abode with one the kind folk of the block, hopefully.

To be continued.......
