我們居住大樓的管委會,為尊重不同信仰,在公共區域有些象徵性動作;例如,無論是不是基督徒,聖誕節都會吊燈飾,無論是不是道教信徒,都會有個小地方堆放香爐。

The apartment management committee of our residence building, in order to respect different beliefs, has some symbolic actions in public areas.

For example, whether Christians or not, Christmas will see some Christmas lights, whether Taoism or not, there will be a small place to store the incense burner.

但我關心的,是搬進社區後看到一隻小花貓,躲在大樓中庭香爐間,前幾次看到牠時,非常怕生,總是還來不及餵牠甚麼,就逃得不見蹤影。

But what I care about is a cat hiding near the incense burner Storage of the building. I saw it a couple times as we moved into the community.

It was too shy to let me have the chance to feed it. And ite was always jumping away as I approaching.

幾年過去,我一直以為那隻小貓早已離開這個社區到別處討生活去了。

Several years have passed, I have always thought that the kitten had to leave the community to go elsewhere to make a living.

直到最近,我在一個雨後黃昏,走過香爐間,遇見一隻大花貓。

Until recently, I walked through the incense burner Storage and met a big cat in a dusk after a rain.

定睛一看,身上毛色分佈,都與幾年前看到的那隻小貓一致。

The color of the body was consistent with the cat that was seen a few years ago.

我拿手機拍牠,牠一點都不怕,嘴裡不停嘮叨著幾句貓語,然後走到我面前叫了很久,我放下手機,慢慢走開,牠才心滿意足用後腳搔起癢來。

I photoed it on my phone and it was not afraid at all. And it kept murmuring to me until I put down my phone and slowly walked away.

Then it was happy to Itch itself with legs.

牠明白表示:這是我的地盤,知道吧。

The cat was telling me: This is my territory, you know.

打掃大樓女士告訴我,這貓很受寵,社區很多人餵,牠還常幫社區抓老鼠。

每逢每月初一十五,有人要使用香爐燒金紙拜拜時,牠就像有默契一樣出去度假,第二天再回到被打掃乾淨的香爐間,宛如享受客房清掃服務一樣。

The lady who cleans the building told me that the cat is very favored. Many people in the community feed it.

It often helps the community to catch rats. Then every time at the first and 15th of the month, when someone uses a censer to burn gold paper, the cat will go to another place for its one day vacation and returning to the cleaned incense burner Storage the next day.

It enjoyed its room cleaning service very much.

我這才領悟,這幾年牠一直在附近,是香爐間的貓王。

I realized that this has been around for a couple of years and it is the king between incense burners.
