Mera appeared at our door at 8pm.

Spencer saw him first, and rushed out. This spooked him badly, and he ran off.

I called him, and he sort of slowed down.

When I went out with wet food, he was sitting at the far end of the corridor, looking at me.

I brought out more biscuits, and shook the container so that he would hear me.

I shoo-ed Spencer into the house.

Then I went out with water. This tme, Mera had moved closer. Once he saw me, he started to walk away.

So this tomcat has his pride.

I called him again, went inside the house, and locked the door to let him know that I won't come out.
