There are several stray cats outside my house. I think they have been there for a while and i remember seeing them as kittens. They appear usually in the night and mainly around the kerb near the drain beside my house. Occasionally though, they do show up in funny places. One was resting on the bonnet of my dad's car, warming its tummy against a cooling engine. Another was grooming itself on the ledge next to my neighbour's gate pillar. And most recently of late, they have been gathering and sitting at the bus-stop outside my house, either having a snooze or just watching the traffic passing by. It is strangely serene to see three cats (2 sitting on the bench, 1 below) sitting side by side with other human passengers, waiting for the bus.
