Where is Bag?

5July17

This morning the only cats waiting to be fed were the loving couple. Fluffy greeted me with an arched back and tail in the air. Bag greeted me by rubbing his cheek against a post and casting me a long blink. No other cats were around. So much easier than yesterday where I ended up giving the cats three feedings. Three. Boy oh boy. The third feeding occurred when I went out for a quick errand in the evening.

Mask saw me and wanted food. I told her, I had fed her less than two hours ago and she didn’t need anymore. She sort of agreed mainly because she wasn’t that hungry. However on the way back I was accosted by Mask and Patch who followed me to the entrance of the apartment. I sat on the lawn chair in hopes they might let me pet them, and up comes Fluffy. Fluffy casts Mask and Patch a dirty look, and if I was going to feed them, she expected food too. I told them to wait and I’d be back down with food. They waited.

I learned not to set Patch or Mask’s food down in Fluffy’s territory. Once the food is on the ground it belongs to her and she’s not sharing. I fed Fluffy then Patch and Mask followed me around the bushes where I put some food down. Patch was on it before I could put down more. When I put down Mask’s food, Patch wanted to eat that too. These cats don’t seem to know about the Law of Abundance, I think they follow the Law of all the food I can see is mine.

Then I went back toward the apartment where Fluffy was happily eating, no 
Bag in sight. Maybe he was still at his day job.

In some ways Fluffy and Bag are an odd couple. If they were human Bag would be the guy who sits around the house drinking beer and watching sports on TV with his hand down his pants. He’d eat his junk food in the TV room and there would be empty cans and plates all over the coffee table – no fruits and vegetables for this guy. He’d go to work, come home, and have to be nagged to death to go anywhere unless, of course, that anywhere was a football game.

Fluffy, on the other hand, wouldn’t like sports at all. At home she would rarely watch TV, preferring to read books instead.  She would enjoy going to nice restaurants with the girls, wandering through a museum, and trying out the ballet and opera.
