Leery

West Virginia

For the April Challenge - Scavenger Hunt. This one is Fairytale.

This stray cat has been around since last spring. There are many strays here.

I noticed how thin it was and started feeding it on my front porch a couple months ago. He still runs from me. Today was the first time I was able to get a photo.

And yes, I have an arm chair on my front porch. It's a statement. Long story.

Anyway, I thought of my favorite fairy tale "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

Thank you for caring enough to feed this fellow. He'll return the favour one day I'm sure.

Wonderful story and beautiful feline. This poor puss wouldn't be afraid
of humans unless he had a reason, it's very nice that you care for him.

He'll warm up more and more and adopt you. I've had 3 that have done that.
