Finally Something to Write About
26Sept19
David and I were watching TV and getting settled for the evening when there was a knock on the door. It was the neighbor and she said the sterilization lady was here and had some questions.
I went down with her and saw the lady with a cage who fixes cats. She was asking me about Jelly Bean. About two weeks ago, I thought Jelly Bean might be preggers, but then forgot about it. She didn't look pg anymore and it never occurred to me she might be nursing.
Well, guess what. Jelly Bean has had kittens and the sterilization lady wanted to know if the babies were old enough to take the mom. I said, I think it had been maybe a couple of weeks. She didn't know couple and I said two weeks. Okay, she would have to come back when the babies were older.
She was also trying to capture Dum-dum who is actually not so dumb. He would not go into the cage even for a delicious bite of tuna. He was another unfixed male who also wouldn't go into the cage. But she had already caught little Sparky. So he'll be back in a few days unmanned. Poor thing.
Patch was out and wanted some tuna too. So I took a little piece of the tuna and gave it to Patch and Sausage. The others were way too leery. I was trying to help the lady catch Dum-dum. He has let me pet him in the past. But no, not with a stranger about.
So that was my excitement for the evening. Lately, old ladies have been bitching at me for feeding the cats. It's like they're going to attack me for giving them food. I, like many other people, simply put food on the sidewalk and in 5 minutes to an hour it's all gone. They simply cannot abide the idea of cat food on the sidewalk even though people throw their trash along the walkway and it never gets picked up. One lady acted as if it was her sidewalk and I was trespassing. I just say okay, and when they're gone do what I was doing, but it takes some of the joy out of the feeding.
