On March 19, 2024, I had another visit to a railside area to enjoy railroadscapes and photograph cats. Yes, again cats. I have even created a new Instagram account for the cat project. Let's see how far it will go.

That bridge and there road on it is where normal travelers walk. The route I was following was a sort in a parallel reality. Not quite like Harry Potter's Platform 9¾ but that's amazing that this island of surreality exists in the center of busy pragmatical Bangkok.

The rails were leading me to the railroad bridge and, further, to the wonderful railside neighborhood I previously wrote about:

Shacks and huts

along with old block buildings.

There are plenty of cats in railside houses. This was where I found that couple.

I turned from the railways into an alley and was looking at those sheds and roofs hoping to see a cool cat. And I found one:

 It was an adorable orange cat.

The perfect place for cat photography: the striped wall as the background, the bars and net against cats, and a metal shield meaning that a cat or two are allowed to enter when a hooman opens the way between the bars.

As you see, he has a shaved flank. It probably means some human cares about him - looks like, he got the treatment for ringworm.

Then I noticed the lady.

She jumped onto the fence and then

surged into the air to reach the shed with the orange male.

Something sweet followed:

She lowered her head, and the orange cat began licking her forehead... Let's zoom in:

What a scene! 😻

They moved away from the edge so I couldn't see what they were doing next.

At last, the lady appeared and started watching me.

Isn't she bizarrely beautiful?
