Compound Cats

There are signs all over the compound warning that, if you keep a cat, you must put a collar on him so the authorities can distinguish between those with a home, and the many strays they say live around here.

I don't know where all these strays were during the winter months - they're probably smart enough to charm some human into keeping them inside until April.  In the last few months, they've emerged, however.  And I've been able to get my kitty fix.

Most of them are pretty shy, so I can only sometimes get in a pet.  But, it's still fun to see them chasing bees in the sun and keeping court on the lawn.

Some cat owners, who live in the second floor apartments, have constructed cat-ladders.
