Hachi, where are you?
The cat colony, which I was allowed to join as a senior member, lost most of the cats during the last two years due to illness or car accidents. Only three of the older ones remain. But a new cat has joined a few weeks ago. His name is Kurohachi. The meaning is not "black bee" but it is a shortened form of kuro-hachiwari (=80% black). And even shorter: Hachi. In the beginning, he run away if you got nearer than 5 meters. That has drastically changed. He now wants to get brushing and belly-rubs. And food, of course. Update: Hachi left for somewhere else. We all hope, he is doing fine.
