I was walking past the vacant lot down by the new school when I heard an odd sound. It was almost a braying noise - my first thought was donkey. I paused and looked around. There was a young cat coming towards the pavement. I stopped and watched him. We have a lot of feral cats, fed by tourists and left to breed more, so there's a real cat population problem. They become used to having food put out for them so although they won't go near people, they do know people provide food. It's not uncommon for a cat to cry at me and then hide in the bushes if I step towards it.

So I stepped towards it.

He ran straight to me and wound his way around my ankles.

OK, maybe not a feral cat?

I stroked him a few times and then started to go on my way. He trotted beside me like a dog.

He looks about 6 months old with tabby markings and a siamese look to his body and incredibly bright blue eyes. His body is streaky cream coloured. He's not been spayed and he's not been out on the street very long. His fur is somewhat matted but no fleas (yay!). He doesn't have a collar.

He is terribly attention-starved. He ignored the chicken I unpacked in the kitchen but went crazy when he saw a tin can. I fed him a small amount and then waited half an hour and fed him a bit more. He drank a lot of water and then went to the sofa and slept for a few hours.

Now he's awake again and exploring in between cuddles.

I still have a bed, cat carrier and kitty litter box & grit from my previous cat. I've set him up an area downstairs. If he's still around tomorrow, we'll go to the vet and see if he's chipped.
