They are very pretty cats.

Pippin looks a lot like my cat Max...except Max has white on his face. I love black cats!
Last year we had a feral kitten living in one of our buildings. I was forever trying to get near this kitten but she would never let me get even close. However, she was fond of our cat Fred. She'd come up to the window of our house and I just knew that she was looking for Fred and wanting him to come out and play with her. So I tried using Fred as "bait". I'd go out and sit in front of the building with Fred. Petting Fred and feeding him treats...trying to show the kitten, "Hey, she doesn't seem that scary!" I had just got to the point to where she'd come up to me and let me touch her...and then she disappeared and I haven't seen her since.

I was really upset about it at the time because I would have taken this cat in and gave her a home. Most of my animals are strays anyway except for my cat Max (rescue) and Uallis. She probably lived in that building for about a month, poor thing. I'd set out food and water everyday though for her.
