**His Face**

On the other day, I took a pictures of Elza the second. It showed his 'not good' face in freely talking.. He is the stray cat who has the same patterns of skin, fur. Through a misunderstanding of mine about 'personality' of Elza, he was staying in our house during about one or two years, Elza the first's absence. At the first time we met, Elza had been a stranger's face--Why this stranger human is SO KIND to me? By the time, he also felt my overflowing love to him, and his face became so cute! But times changed. Elza the first came back. Poor is Elza the second. He again had to stray...(may be).

Certainly, there are some distinctions in each cats. I knew the difference between the first and the 2nd when the first came back. First, their attitude to human beings. The first had been brought up so indulgently, so he had seemed to be 'awful'. The 2nd might has been a stray cat, so he is too nervous to be anxious about my attitude. And the 2nd know the kind person to him so exactly. Second, their faces, especially their own EYES. There is a change of the shapes. More happy times they spend, more full holes their eyes became. Less such times, more slanted or small they becomes. When a cat feel a love or kind heart from another cats or humans, and they ask him/her favor, even though he/she has such a small, slanted eyes, his or her eyes will become more big, full ones, and his/her face seems to be more Exciting one!

Elza the 2nd has a half stray cat's life again because of the death of the first. His face seems to change, but is is so slow. When we fell to spend good times each other, his face will become so sweet. I would like to see it and to show you it on this page someday.
