**5+1 cats **

We are living with 5 cats--Jespa, Omito,Toshizou, Yuki (means Snow),Tibi( means Tiny cat). Jespa was born at the second grade in my high school. She had a brother, late-Elza and sisters, late-Vico, late-Okinamaro. Omito and Toshizou were borne by Vico. Jespa is their aunt. Jespa has a daughter who are living with another family, Nonko. As to Yuki and Tiny cat, each were picked up in our University garden in Winter when I was an undergraduate student.+1 means Elza the second. He loves walking around neighbours' house (we often regards such a cat 'stray cat'). He seldom sleeps in my house. So, I say, 'I have +1 cat'.For the first time, he dropped our garden when Elza the first ran away to establish his own fulfillment. I made a mistake to think him as Elza the first. I have loved him so much for a long time with a great effort (!) that he did my heart good. BUT, after that affair, Elza the first came home..(certainly, I was VERY happy!). Elza the second would not came here for his kind heart. This new years day, Elza the first suddenly died. After his death Elza the second came here again every day or 3. Now, I am living with 5+1 cats!
