The other day I spotted a funny little black cat creeping around my backyard and I decided to take some pictures of it. His parents must have taught him not to talk to strangers because after a few seconds he slowly crept away, stopping every so often to stare me down with his mysterious gaze. Obviously my parents never taught me not to photograph strangers, and good thing they didn't!
I really felt like we made a connection, this cat and I. We were friends for those few moments, I'm sure of it. The funny thing is that I saw him the next day at the same spot but that time I decided to leave him alone. Because that's what friends do -- they leave you alone when you want some privacy. Right?
Lesson of the day: Befriend your backyard stray cats!
