First cat friend in Sakura

I met this little guy in autumn 2016 in a place near my workplace in Sakura, Chiba (Japan).
In contrast to the rest of the cats there, he was not afraid of anybody. Every day, I visited him during lunchtime and as soon as he saw me, he came running. 






He reminded me about the important things of life: "Where is my food? Stop playing with that camera!!"

Unfortunately, he developed a skin disease and he died at the end of the year when it was very cold.

I just have heavy bones.     Preparation for the belly-rub.   I am very active, some d...

Wild animals of Japan

  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.
