Ultimately, it all comes down to food, folks.
Let’s hope we’ll never have our faces
pressed up against a window,
like these cats
while people inside gorge themselves.
“A full stomach cannot understand an empty one,” – Irish Saying
by Henry Makow PhD
My mother-in-law has opened her garden to a half-dozen stray cats whom she feeds twice a day.
She was feeding them in the lane but a neighbor’s dog with the improbable name of “Valentino” would chase them away.
So now they are fed behind her high garden walls which they access by climbing the bougainvilleas stalks.
The garden abuts on to the kitchen via glass sliding doors.
This means that whenever I am preparing something to eat, I have to answer to 3-6 hungry cats staring at me through the window.
My mother-in-law feeds them chicken scraps every second or third day. On the other days, they get kibble which clearly they find inadequate now that they’ve had chicken.
When I mention that there is a delegation of dissatisfied cats at her door, my mother-in-law says, “Well, tough for them. They can go elsewhere.”
She thinks they are getting fat.
UNWANTED
These are not attractive cats. They are mangy. They were born into a world where no one wants them. They compete with each other for food.
They will grab a morsel and run away before another cat snatches it away.
My mother-in-law feels compassion for them.
And they have made themselves at home. Sometimes when I go into the garden, they are sitting in my chair.
Like most stray cats they are skittish and relinquish my chair.
But I have no illusions that, if they could, they would exchange places with me, and feed me scraps or maybe nothing at all!
I imagine them taking over the house, displacing me at my computer, spewing hatred of Valentino and other dogs.
This is the problem with increasing the expectations of the have-nots.
We feel compassion for them. But people, and that includes cats, are rarely satisfied or grateful.
All creatures seem to have an inborn sense of entitlement.
Nevertheless, when I am fixing a snack in the evening, and there are three or four hungry cats staring at me, I am reminded of the Irish proverb.
“A full stomach can never understand an empty one.”
Even though my mother-in-law has dismissed them, without her knowledge, I will open a can of chicken dog food and give it to them.
I stash the empty can at the bottom of the garbage so my deed done in weakness is not discovered.
The cats devour the dog food and go away, leaving me to enjoy my sandwich in peace.
Ultimately, it all comes down to food, folks.
Let’s hope we never have our faces pressed up against a window.
