Every day I feed this cat (I call him Tom) and it's not my cat but he comes to me when he's hungry because he knows that I will take care of him. I grab his bag of cat food (which I keep in the house) as I do every morning, then I go outside with it. I grab a handful from the bag, then I put it down for him to eat but this time he didn't eat. I notice that he's looking around for something. I notice this because I'm paying attention. I don't know what he's looking for or why he's looking. I thought, to myself, that he must want me to rub him instead. So I give him a good scratch on his back and he starts to purr so I know he likes it. I'm still worried because he's still not going towards his food. Is he sick? Well that's the obvious thought that came to my mind.
As I'm rubbing Tom another cat (I call her his girlfriend) came around the corner. She's such a weird cat; she won't let me touch her or get near her but she'll eat my food. One time when I tried to feed her, she took her paw and slapped my hand; as if to say that I wasn't feeding her fast enough. She has these big crazy looking eyeballs that just stare at you fearfully and she has the strangest color fur that I've ever seen on a cat but all and all she's just a strange cat.
When Tom sees her he walks over to his food and begins to eat but only a little at a time. That's when I realized that he was waiting for her to come. Aw! So I'm watching them both and I notice their behavior is bizarre, to me at least. For instance, she doesn't go directly to the food, she sort of waits for him to allow her to eat which he does without hesitation. So I'm standing there watching and he takes a few bits at a time while she's pigging out. Her head is down and she has not a care or a worry in the world but Tom is constantly looking all around. He is protecting her and taking care of her first.
I knew there was a reason why I liked this cat and I'm not a cat person, but talk about a proud moment for me. I just stood there watching them smiling. You see what I didn't tell you is that the female cat is nursing kittens and she needs the extra food in order to feed her babies. He takes less so that she can have more. How many people can you say would do that?
I just wanted to share that experience with you this morning. I really hope you enjoy your day. I'm Lady PJ and information is power so be informed.
