淡水老街貓 (Tamsui old street cats)

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
