The Days He Ran Away..
I couldn't figure out why even to these days. Every time he heard me coming, let alone showing up myself in front of him, he just took off as fast as he could. What had I done? What did I do that deserved such rejection? To be honest, I had mixed feelings.. sad and disappointed.
But, I have never been a quitter, especially when I know what I am capable of. Oh well, at least I will try my best. So I kept bringing something for him, secretly ofcourse. Then I would take a peek behind a curtain, to see if he would take it.
And guess what?
He did. Yesss.. he did..!!
Still he would run away once he saw me.
"Keep trying, Kal! Don't give up!" I told myself.
And one day, we met.. he stood still.. motionless.. frozen.
As if he got caught in the act..
We looked at each other's eyes!
I asked him: "What really has happened to you?"
He didn't answer, but this time he didn't run away.
He looked at me and then left .. walked away from me.
And few days ago..
I saw him as usual. He tried to approach me
He seemed to wait for me as if he couldn't wait to see me.
Aaahhh at last..
I told my Giant about all those. Every time there was a progress, my Giant gave me a kiss. He said: "I am glad you are nice to him, Kal!"
I said: "Nope, I am not nice to him! I gave him milk, chicken and fish, not because I am nice. I simply couldn't stand it every time I looked at him. That tiny little baby kitten.. who always gets in to my verandah.. is right-eye-blind..!"

Hmm.. any suggestion, Merc?
As a kitten it is quite vulnerable out there, a small fluffy ball , thin and depending on you for food. If you look at teh kitten next time, and you meet eyes , close your eyes for about 3 seconds not moving, in cat language this is 'I trust you , I won't hurt you ' Try and feed the little mite each day at the same time and even a little place to sleep with something soft on it. Cats are clean and eventually he will allow you to pet him,
He has known no love. Just because he is afraid of you [as he has probably been dumped by humans ] does not mean that this cat does not love you. Lucky is an obvious name but calling him and for him/her to get to know your voice will work.
Hmm.. any suggestion, Merc?
I really hope you keep him. I had a rescue cat and called him Poppy, just on my window and terrified but yet came each day, fed him at same time daily, left out water and dry food and a wooden box to sleep in.
Eventually he was in the house. I had a Cat litter tray but he went outside . A beautiful cat lived for many years.
Anyway, here is Lucky..
But that time I didn't know that onion, shallot, garlic and the like are pretty bad for cats. That Tuna Pizza somehow I think has such ingredient in it. I am sorry, Lucky!
And so I have changed his "diet"..
Fish
And Chicken.
Lucky is really lucky as I don't like chicken legs.
He looked mad when he knew that I tried taking photos of his eyes.
Then he tried to avoid looking at me.
So I stopped taking pictures of his eyes. I gave him lunch..
Lucky grows faster than I thought.
Soon he will have to find food himself..
