Throughout the years there have always been cats and often dogs at his home here in Sri Lanka. However, recently one they owned died leaving the house pet-free. Then, in the garden, a mother cat appeared and wanted shelter to raise babies. It seems that out of two litters, a little black & white one survives. Either a mongoose or monitor lizard got a few, we suspect.
This cat runs when we encounter it, but Jay's sisters put out food for the birds and animals daily and the cats have come to expect free meals. This small cat was perhaps the runt of the litter. However, she is getting pretty used to people and now allows Jay and his younger sister to pick her up.
