Day 9 - Neko
There this stray cat which finally declared our house as home since two months ago (though she only got as far as the doormat, I'll never let her in). Everytime we open the door there she is; readily stationed on the doormat; meowing and asking for food (what else?). It's usually Ricca who always has something for her, to the point of saving half of her take-out lunch ( and she always have fish since the day that old skinny living being arrived on our footstep).
It never occured to me how deep the attachment between Ricca and the cat, not until today; where the cat is nowhere to be seen and Ricca is whining non stop to me ( with half-finished meal infront of her) how that cat is always missing nowadays, gone and back after one or two days.
"Off course. What do you expect?" I snapped back to her without thinking. "Its a pretty boring life on that footstep, you know. That living being has her social life too. She dates and makes friends around, in case you didnt know. I have seen her with another yellow stray cat somewhere around here."
Her face fell with my words. "yeah, i guess you're right. It is not only me.."
She wrapped her left-over food carefully and told me to inform her if by any chance I stumbled upon that cat on the door, and went into her room.
What a weird person I am living with here. And she is not that lonely, you see, she has a boyfriend and all..
