Look who I found by my bicycle just before. Chako! It’s been almost 8 years now since all the fuss, and having her spayed, and finding new owners for at least some of her kittens. That’s pretty amazing for a feral, don’t you think?
Chako, you might recall, has two different colored eyes, is missing one front paw, and never makes a sound.
You can search on my blog and find older photos, including her kittens.
As I was returning home from the supermarket, I saw Chako scampering by. She’s looking fat and happy. I took a couple of pictures of her between two neighbors’ houses.
It was nice spring like weather today, and look who I saw scampering by my house this afternoon. Chako, alive and well.
Notwithstanding Kokita-san’s husband’s attempts to slaughter every cat in the neighborhood, Chako remains alive! I can’t feed her anymore because of neighbor reactions, but Kokita-san still manages to feed Chako every day, in secret, behind her house. Don’t worry, her husband is dumber than a cat and would never find this blog (and probably doesn’t even know what a blog is).
As you might recall, Chako is the feral cat I felt sorry for, even though I don’t really like cats, and had her spayed and released. She is very unusual. She’s missing one paw, has two different color eyes, and she never ever makes a sound! The vet said there is nothing physically preventing her from meowing, she does never does. Ever.
Here is some more on her:

Purple has gone missing though, and we fear the worst.
This is a photo of Chako this morning, eating breakfast over at Kokita-san’s place. Somewhere hidden. At an undisclosed location.
