This cat reminds me of my cat Al, in that he likes to sit in random places. Also in that he looks a bit like Al. If he looks familiar, it's because he is- he's box cat from several days ago. (It does not feel like that picture was taken several days ago. It feels like it was at least a month.) He likes to sit on cars and in boxes, but I also have seen him trying to fit himself into other enclosed spaces, like the corner formed by the wall, the edge of the stairs, and the stair railing outside.
This cat is often in this tree, which is a good thing, because this is bitey cat, who does that thing cats do where they act like they want to be petted and then grab your hand and bite it. Not seriously, thank goodness. Bitey also likes to lurk next to the doorway and attack your ankles as you rummage through your purse for your keys. One has to be quite careful. And get the keys out before reaching Bitey's lair.
And this is the baby of the bunch, who is either three or four months old, depending on who you talk to. She is very shy and usually doesn't have demonic glowing eyes. She looks a wee bit like Cleo, who is about the same size and coloring, though this cat eats a lot more than Cleo does and will most likely still get bigger.As you can probably tell, these cats either don't have names or I just don't know them. I'm not sure which it is. In general, people here treat animals a lot differently than we treat them in the U.S.- they're not unkind to them (I mean, you go by dishes of food and water that people put out for them all the time) but they also don't talk to them and treat them like they are people. These ones live quite the posh life- they get fed by everyone who lives at #9, they get petted all the time, and they pretty much enter and leave the apartment building at will. The black one snuck inside the other day and yowled until someone came down and let him out.
