gentlemen,

as many of you know.. i have now made a huge change in my life.. i've moved out of los angeles.. where i was living a very solitary and bleak life.. mostly out of a suitcase and living day to day.. feeding myself from paycheck to paycheck..

now i'm up in the redwood shores of california.. living the good life.. i have been fortunate enough to move into a great life with a very good friend of mine.. we have adopted 2 very loving kittens and are quite happy...

the area we live in is surrounded by wildlife.. lots of ducks, geese, quall, i even spotted a giant 30 lb swan the other day..

anyway.. i have a tendency to stay up late and enjoy srp with a few of the finer things in life.. at night i like to have a few drinks and enjoy a rollup cigarette of balishag with chocolate papers out on the patio... the last few nights i have gone out to the patio to see a giant all black cat hanging around our patio... this guy is huge.... must be at least 15 lbs..

tonight is the third night in a row i have seen him on our patio.. the last few nights he has scattered off as soon as i've opened the sliding glass door.. however.. tonight i came out and he was sound asleep on one of our patio chairs.. he didn't even look up when i came out.. i smoked an entire cigarette and he did nothing.. so for some silly reason i went inside and scooped up a tupperware of catfood..

when i placed it on the table he jumped up and started wolfing if down.. and i mean he really scarfed it down.. almost like he was starving to death.. i'm somewhat nervous with him being so large and obviously wild.. he even grabbed a mouthful and started chewing it while walking towards me.. he seems very accepting of my kindness.. but at the same time.. he is so huge and frightening.. he's all black.. so much to the point that i'm unable to get a picture of him.. the only colour is his all white whiskers and his deep yellow eyes..

i'm somewhat afraid of him to get too close.. is it a bad idea for me to feed him? will i attract other animals? also.. should i be worried about him attacking me for whatever reason.. this cat is honestly in the 15 plus pounds range..

advice?
