A Local Cat

Becky went outside at night to hang a pair of wet jeans on the line (dryers are expensive and uncommon in Japan), and she was surprised by a small cat. It likewise was startled, but it waited on the defensive as Becky ran in the house and get a butter roll. She proceeded to tear off chunks and feed it the entire roll, getting the cat closer and closer with each chunk. It never ate directly out of her hand but toward the end it was pawing the bread out of it. 

We got ready for bed, and found the cat sitting by the door an hour later! I found a couple of scraps of Canadian bacon in the fridge. I opened the door, and the cat greedily pawed all three pieces out of my hand. We finally had to cut the cat off, but it hung out on our porch for at least another hour before we stopped watching it. We hope it comes back.
