Recently, news paper said cats are gradually disappeared in Tamsui old streets due to some stores called sanitation bureau to capture them.
I decide to check it out, but damn typhoon destroyed every thing. I can go no where but potato home. Watching an old American soap opera, Friends season 4, to killed time and I don’t know why I got a feeling worried about those cats. It said that tide is in the highest level during Moon Festival and needless to say the super heavy rain. I wonder can cats swim?
In the Sunday morning, rain stopped. I didn’t know how much time I got to have a break.
Rushing to the old street I found an old cat walking around. I keep a little distance and showed as nice as I can, but he didn’t seem to feel my hospitality. Forgetting to take my GX100, I could use only cell phone take a quick picture. He may be as shame as me and quickly ran away from my vision.
Then, a parking place along the river, I suddenly find a cat sitting here watching the sea. I closed quietly approaching him. He watched me for a second and started to call his friends. One, two, three….totally seven cats showed up. With tail raising high, they seemed to fulfill with energy. I watched them played and sang for a while till they gone. I felt there are still lots of cats in Tamsui and don’t worry about them. Life will find its way. Watch carefully, and you can find something interesting around you
第一次接觸麥可 克萊頓（Michael Crichton）的作品是株羅紀公園，相信大部分的人也都如此，那時還不太瞭解這個作者，只知道導演是史蒂芬史匹柏。第二次接觸就是著名小說「奈米獵殺（Prey）」了，那時全球陷入一頭熱奈米科技研究潮，台灣也很多標榜奈米材料的新興科技公司（目前沒倒沒剩幾家），大肆宣揚種種奈米效應的美好未來，卻無人仔細研究物質極小化後可能的該災害，克萊頓以此小說做為對世人的警惕。之後還看了時間線(Time-line)等作品，只能佩服克萊頓才華洋溢，各種差別很大的主題都能寫的讓人驚心動魄，扣人心弦且富含哲理。
