To Starry the Feral cat: please understand that Mangle the twisted Silky is a friend and not a meal..
Starry's version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody:
"Mio, I killed a bird, put a paw on her head, bit her neck now she's dead... "
Starry's version of The Pretenders
"It's a thin line between love and eat,
It's a thin line between Kawaii and Shokuji

What do they see in the fire?

So cute when they're sleeping.
Not so cute when they get out the door and you're running around the yard trying to get them before they kill Mangle or some other chick... They might understand that a bird inside and in their feeder's hand is part of the family but I get the feeling they loos that understanding when they are outside, hungry, and see a bird on the ground...

Cats playing.

They certainly know how to relax... ' should learn from them on a sunny afternoon.

Cat Punch! 猫パンチ! Sounds so cute in Japanese
It's hilarious how these two find ways to play through the bars of the cage..

#MilkyTheCat #StarryTheCat #FeralCats #野良猫 #AdoptedCats Don't be sick or escape outside to kill the ecology... I'll feed you as many crickets and lizards and things as I find in the house or manage to grab outside... But you two out their on your own will be too competent at killing and eating and it will be bad for the local ecology, not to mention our Silky Chick population..

Established leopard about to eat newly arrived rival...
So, I thought. but they just started playing around.

Cat in a basket...
Starry (as in _Starry Sky_ the movie and as in a name to go with _Milky Way\ cat named after something to do with the day Mio picker her scraching biting self out of the car port...) is still sort of quarantined. It will be a month before she can be tested for Cat Aides and stuff so we can't just let her run around with Milky Way... They find ways to play through the cage and we can't bring ourselves to be too strict about contact.. Sure looks cute in her basket though..

Cats are like kids in Juliet Schor's_Born To Buy_ the drag their caregivers into obligations to go shopping and participate more in the industrial/commercial system of over consumption and dioxin-spewing waste production.. They sure are cute though, like kids, little disease vectors but you gotta love 'em...

The new one seems to be getting acclimated, used to the new set up. Some friends from the Philippines came over and pointed out the nice long hair on this one, Starry. Seems like cats like Starry are more popular in the Philippines than they are around here in Southern Kyushu.

Looks like she could use a ear-washing from Maron the Shiba Dog.. Wonder if that will ever happen like it does for Milky?

We got a new cat the other day. We didn't really want the first cat, but Mio was moved to pick up the meowing, hissing, biting, scratching little monster out of our storage car-port sort-of area and then no-one volunteered to adopt what has now become Milky Way, or Milky the cat. Now the cat sleeps with us half the time and keeps the dog company and kill the cockroaches. Hopefully she'll start on mice soon, we've been losing some packages of food that have been gnawed on lately. We've seen her batting cockroaches around so I knew how to explain the one laying belly up on the Tatami the other morning. Why did it up and die here. (Might not have been dead, a few legs may have still been twitchign).. But then I noticed a leg and other parts strewn around the belly-up body so I guess it was Milky's entertanment earlier. Hopefully she won't do that with the chicks... But Mio had a cat person run over and advise when she first grabbed Milky. Now that cat person convinced her to take on this new foundling: now named Starry, to go with Milky Way and with the movie _Starry Sky_ in mind..
#FeralCats #StarryTheCat #AdoptedCat #NoMoreCats Please!!! Awfully cute though. This one will probably be sleeping with us in a month or two also. Nice to wake up to purring but things can get hectic too, ya know? And it's more shopping and wasting with the food, and the kitty litter... I really have to set aside some time to figure out how to get fish out of the nearby rivers and supplement the animal diets with local stuff, get closer to #身土不二 _Land and Body Not Parted_ for the animals too, at least....
