Marmalade



Here is Marmalade. I didn't make his name up—it's on his tag. He was so big and hardy and friendly. When I walked away from him, he stayed in the above position for as long as he was in my visibility range. Spotted on Maynard near Falkland (where else?).

Lost CAT!


This is a poster for the lost cat "Mica". She is supposed to live on Gottingen. She is lost and all alone.



This is Wu Tang. I saw him right after i read the "LOST" poster for Mica and let me tell you, i thought i was going to be making Nancy's (see poster) day, by having found her cat. But no. Wu Tang was not Mica and i was not going to be able to reunite the separated siamese to her human mother.

p.s. Wu tang is the name of the cat as indicated on its tag. I did not name it. If i had it would have been Andy.

UPDATE: Wu Tang might be RTF's cat Lorenzo, that he blogged about in " I am siamese if you please".

Logan


Here is Logan. I thought his real name would be on his name tag, but no. He was just a nice cat, on the driveway of a house at Cogswell and Creighton. There seem to be two kinds of cats in this world: cats who like meeting passers-by and cats who don't. Logan is of the first kind.

Subway man + cat + kittens: West 4 station


On the way home last night LL and I saw this man and his three cats (two little kittens and one possible-momma cat) in the subway entrance.

I asked if I could take his (and cats') picture and he kindly said yes. And he told me how calico cats (the one that looks like my baby kitten, right by the man's blue shoe) are always girl cats (all the kittens in my kitten's litter were calico, and all were girls), and I told him how orange stripey cats are almost always boy cats.

It's amazing that the cats stay with him and don't just run off into the night; I wonder how he gets around with them all without losing them.

Harris = Chicken?




Unfortunately, those "lost cat" posters for Chicken are still up. There is one of those posters on the screen door of a house on Bauer, which probably means that's where Chicken should be but is not. But I did see one colour lost cat poster for Chicken, and Chicken is a marmalade cat like the one I at first thought was Sampson but later named Harris.

So maybe Harris is Chicken? If I see him again and it turns out he is Chicken, I'll return him to his house on Bauer.

Mindy.


This is Midnight Mindy.

She lives on Agricola Street. I was riding my bike and upon seeing Mindy I swerved to the opposite side of the rode to capture several night shots of this lovely lady. It was hot out that night and she found herself a cool cement block upon which to lay and watch the traffic and pedestrians. She was, as we like to say, people watching.
