a few days ago, i looked down my path, and a little black and white cat was staring at me.

it had that “ i want to be close to a human but not that close” vibe. every night he comes out of the woods, and sits close but not too close, then goes out hunting.

i left a small amount of food in a bowl on the path. it was gone, and now close but not too close is about 3 feet closer.
