The return of the grey kitten now dubbed "Shoyu"

After a few nights in a row where I didn't see the kitten, I was surprised on Friday night when I heard his little mew. This time, Shoyu, as I have decided to call this kitty (and I've decided he's a boy even though I have no proof... and shoyu is Japanese for soy sauce) actually followed me to my condo.

I think he's growing a bit braver as he did rub against the shrubbery while mewing at me and he got closer... within 3 feet! Now, I haven't been able to pet him yet, but I have hopes.

Since Shoyu followed me to my condo, I decided to feed him here. My hope is that he'll figure out that I'm safe and he is welcome to come into my patio (he's outside my patio wall in the pictures above). At any rate, I placed some food and water at the bottom of my wall where there's an opening.

Oh, and there's someone else who left him a metal bowl of food by the mail boxes. Of course, they may have left food for the big black kitty I saw earlier in the week.

At any rate, keep your fingers crossed that I can trap this kitty and get him foster/socialized and adopted! No, I will not have 4 kitties! My place is far too small for 4 hehe.

Update: On Saturday night, I saw the kitten again. And this time I got a better look at her backside. Yes, I believe Shoyu is a girl.  And she got within one foot of me! It was shocking. I also managed to get some video. I shall try to upload that video later.

Feral Grey Kitten

 What is that flash?

 It's a grey kitten!

 Nom nom nom...

 Laser eyes at the ready!

FWOOOOSH!

The past few days, I have been feeding this feral grey kitten that is living around my condo complex. He or she is pretty young. I'd say around 3 months old. He has the cutest little mew. Although he's skittish, he does tend to dash out in front of me when I'm walking to my post box (if he stayed hidden in the bushes, I'd never know he's there!) AND when I walk by, he will mew and talk to me. It's a very cute mew. I haven't been able to touch him yet and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to.  But, I am hoping.

Right now, I'm trying to get the kitten used to me enough that he won't run too far away. And I'm hoping to trap him so he can get fostered, neutered(or spayed!) and socialized. The hard part right now is finding a foster. I'm not home enough for the 3 kitties I already have and I want to make sure the kitten gets properly socialized. I think he will grow into one handsome/beautiful kitty.

Wish us luck!
