Hello Again

3May18

From getting sick, buying a new computer and figuring out how to use it, and establishing a fairly regular cat eating pattern they haven't created a lot of drama.
The pattern is, GG upstairs fed and sleeping in the morning. I go halfway down to be met by Fluffy and we go up and once in the apartment, I close the door so she can eat in peace. I go back down and feed everybody else. They don't create a lot of trouble with feeding except Patch has gotten a little more demanding and wants to be fed first, even though I feed Bag first. Bag is easy going though, he doesn't demand first feeding like some of the others. He waits under the window of the woman  who throws out food for him.

A while back, David and I were leaving and as we were going down the stairs, we met the Romanian woman who hates cats. She says to David, "Stop feeding the cats, it's creating a mess." David says, "They don't create a mess, there's no mess." She was like, "They wait for her!" They sort of argue back and forth for a while and move on. David said to me, he didn't think that old woman would bother me anymore about the cats. She had told me a few times to stop feeding them.

This morning, I was a bit late and Fluffy didn't come up first. I fed the kitties, and Fluffy's nose was in everybody else's food. She just can't settle down and eat. So I fed everybody and start back upstairs with Fluffy following. I have a Russian neighbor who loves cats and loves Fluffy, GG, all of them. She was the one who worried when Fluffy went missing. So I thought it was her, and it would be interesting to see what happened when they met in the hall. Instead it was the Romanian cat hater. Well, she has enough trouble with me feeding the cats in the yard, what would she do if she realized I have a revolving cat door and at least two cats -- sometimes more -- traverse up and down every day.

I waited outside with the cats happily eating as she came down the stairs. I was sure she was going to chastise me about feeding the cats, but instead she told me she was going back into the hospital about her knee. Apparently, even after knee replacement she is having all sorts of trouble. It could be the universe chastising her for hating cats (just a theory). Anyway she didn't say anything about the critters, and was very nice. She did chastise me about not learning Hebrew, but whatever, everybody does.

While we were talking, I saw the Scrap Yard cat who is all beat up from fighting and might have been the one who bit GG, but I think it was a different cat. At any rate, I did not put any extra food out for it, because Scrap might be making trouble for GG, but he edged his way in and got some breakfast anyway. I think the one who bit GG has longer hair and is better fed. Scrap has a mean look about him, though.

When the Romanian cat-hater left, Fluffy followed me upstairs. I got her some food but fed her outside in the hall because GG was awake and didn't want her around.
