Tabby Cat Sentine – Tamsui Cat’s Story.(虎斑貓站衛兵|淡水百貓物語)

Many people love cats because they love their aloofness. Someone once said that having a cat is great because they’re not as clingy or noisy as dogs. I think they must have only played with cats; a cat’s clinginess is domineering, and their noise pierces your soul.

When visiting the true old alleys of Danshui, you can always see one or two cats passing by and then disappearing in an instant. If you quietly approach following their footsteps, you will discover them hiding in dark corners. They curl up their bodies, tensing every muscle, as if they are about to explode. Their sharp eyes seem to see through everything, penetrating deep into your heart. In that fleeting moment, your world can only accommodate them. One careless move, and you will be engulfed by their wild pride.

Indeed, cats at this moment are solitary and silent. However, if you are willing to wholeheartedly treat them and let them understand your genuine tenderness, you will witness the irresistibly endearing side of cats. Otherwise, offering cat food cans is also an option for pleasing the feline master.

許多人喜歡貓,就是喜歡貓的傲嬌。

有人曾經說過,養貓好,貓不像狗那麼的黏,那麼的吵。

我想他們一定只玩過貓,貓的黏是霸道,貓的吵是聲聲入心。

走訪在淡水真正的老巷弄中,總能見到貓兒一隻兩隻地路過跟前,再從眼前轉瞬消失。

如果你循著牠們的腳步悄悄靠近,會發現在黑暗角落中隱身起來的牠們,身體正縮著一團,將全身的肌肉緊繃著,似乎隨時都要炸開一般,而那對銳利的雙眼就像是看透一切,深刻入你的內心。

你的所有在霎那間就只容得下牠,似乎一個不留神,將被充滿野性的傲氣給吞噬。

這時的貓,確實,是孤傲的,是寂靜的。

可是,只要你願意付出真心對待他們,讓貓咪瞭解你真實的溫柔,你將會見識到貓咪們讓人不捨的一面。

不然拿貓罐頭上貢貓主子也是可以的。
