Well these guys certainly look comfortable don't they! During my recent visit to Wavecrest I was able to find all four of the cats that have lived here for over a year. As you can see, these two are as cute as can be.The biggest surprise was that of the four these two can be approached and will allow you to pet them. The grey cat is especially friendly and even followed me to the 3rd floor and came right into the condo!
It became clear that some were feeding the cats and they inadvertently become little tattle tales by hanging out where they were being fed. I seem to have forgotten exactly where I saw them hanging out and to be honest did not see any food bowl or anyone actually feeding them.
I believe that these cats add value to Wavecrest. They are natural hunters and can prey on the mice and rats that prefer to occupy the same space as we humans for a variety of reasons. If the cats must rely on hunting for their diet then they can provide a valuable service for all of us at Wavecrest.
Long ago the owners at Wavecrest banned having pets. The board is charged with the responsibility to enforce those rules. We would ask that everyone please abide by these regulations and refrain from feeding the cats. If some owners have had a change of heart over the ban of animals then they should approach the board and petition for a change in the rules.
Anyone that knows Jane and I also knows we are cat people. Our board President, Mike Nicholls also is cat person. We have two cats that live in New Mexico and we have considered bringing them to O'ahu to our home there. It is a lot of fun to watch these cats hunt in the early evening. I saw one of them hunt a bird for almost 30 minutes last week. The cat stalked the bird and probably thought he had dinner several times. The bird seemed to enjoy the process and was always a step ahead. At least his time!
Mahalo for your support in this matter!!!
