One more thing, which made Tsuda change his image of cats, was when he took four abandoned kittens into his care in 1979. The kittens were just barely born and couldn't even open their eyes yet. Tsuda did his best to take care of the kittens by warming up the room and feeding them milk with a dropper, but he was doubtful of their survival, as they were too small. He took the kittens to work everyday in a special basket, and gave them milk, wiped their bottoms, cleaned their ears several times a day and washed them. He just couldn't leave them unattended. Although people say that cats don't cling on to people, with these kittens it was different. Because Tsuda was the first thing they saw and smelt they probably took him as their parent. Like following a mother cat, the kittens would run after Tsuda. And in the morning when Tsuda goes into the toilet they would also come and gather around the toilet and do their business. At night when Tsuda goes to bed the kittens would also squeeze under his blanket. That made Tsuda to adore cats even more. One day, almost two months since they met, Tsuda noticed the kittens playing with costumes for dolls left behind by his girlfriend. He put the costumes on the kittens for fun and because it was funny he took photographs of the kittens running around in their outfit. That was the beginning of the "Namen nayo" Cats.
