Cat Nextdoor And Sad News About Mama Cat (2009-10-09)
There are very strict rules about keeping a pet in rented properties in Japan. If the privilege is not stipulated in the contract, keeping a pet is strictly prohibited. Therefore tenants in our complex just don't pay that extra rent or walk that extra distance to the station by not keeping a cat which is allowed by the landlord.
Our new nextdoor neighbor moved in with an adult cat which is as shy
as Efoo. I only had a quick glimpse of its back when I brought
over some brownies. Last week, I saw its face from their upstairs
balcony!
On another note, I saw Mrs Y the other day and she told me Mama Cat whom I had not seen for a long while passed away in August. Mama Cat was at least 4 years old which is double the average life span of a stray cat. May she rest in peace.
