Felix

 After a rain pour in May 2006, we went out for a stroll - and found a kitten in front of the apartment building. It wasn't wet at all so we assumed that someone had just dumped it here some minutes ago. Not unusual in Japan.


Before the visit to the vet.


The vet had cleaned it up a bit. She said he would be around 3 months. 



He needed a lot of rest.


My wife wanted to tell her parents the size of Felix. That was VERY difficult, he was wriggling all the time. Finally, with the help of my foot, we found out.



He was very active and, fortunately, had no problems with locating the toilet - apart from the first time when he tried to pee behind the curtain.











He is 19 meanwhile, more pictures will follow.

We get breakfast at 10 a.m. and evening meal at 5 p.m. And there is a belly rubbing service coming at lunch time. Some people said I got fat. Don't believe that. I just have heavy bones.     Preparation for the belly-rub.   I am very active, some d...

Wild animals of Japan

Image
  The bear is not the first wild animal which I saw in Japan during a bicycle ride. This one below I found in the north of the lake of Kasumigaura (Ibaraki). It was sitting aside of its dead mother (car accident) in the middle of a road. The temperature at that day was in the middle of the thirties. And the vultures of Japan (crows) were already nearby. So, I took it with me. But as I was still 80kms away from home, it was at risk and I looked for (and found) a new home for it - a farm with many, many cats, the owners ready of accepting another member. A cute little devil.
