the male cats staring match

The male cats staring match

The white ginger and black and white

Face off on the higher elevated concrete

Meowing so loudly for the house owners to hear

The female cats sit and don't bother

Maybe they think these 2 male cats have nothing to do

The shouting matches ringing loud in the air

For a couple of minutes the male cats stare each other

I remember once I saw them running together

Chasing female cats on the mating season

They were the tag team sharing the female cats

They were the Casanovas walking proud

They meow so loudly at back lane

I decide to walk over and watch the cats

I recognize the white and ginger cat

I used to give him cat food

It is nearly 2 years he doesn't drop by

I whistle a tune to see whether he remembers

The white and ginger cat stops and listens

He turns around to look at me

He jumps down meowing softly to me

I touch his forehead so he still remembers the tune

Later he walks away leaving the white and black cat alone

The female cats never show any interest on the male cats

I used to feed the stray cats

All the male cats came and gone

Through the years many had disappeared

Now there is only a black cat left from the group

I believe they all died or poisoned

One by one I didn't see jumping over the fence

Leaving only the echo of the names I gave them

Kooti, Jaggut, Long tail, Fei Cai, Comel, Egyptian face
