Kuro

Words & Photography

We don't feed him, he just keeps coming back for the company.

This is our friendly neighbourhood cat who decided to adopt us. He often appears meowing at our back door, and he visits for an hour or so until he's ready to leave, and waits by the door again. We don't feed him, he just keeps coming back for the company. We call him Kuro, which means 'black' in Japanese -- and even though it's not his real name, he still responds to it, and comes when we call. Oh Kuro, you're our sweet little part-time pet.
