"Paws"ing for a Moment

Even as busy as I get with school, work, and baby, I still take some time out of my packed schedule to help the less fortunate in my community. There is a family living in a run-down building in downtown Kokomo. Aside from the food I bring them once a week, they eat out of the dumpster to survive. You haven't read about them in the newspaper or seen them on the news, because no one cares about homeless cats. Except me, that is.

Apparently, no one cares about people right now either, because the food banks are empty. Anyway, I paused in my busy schedule to go to the alley after work and bring them a bag of dry cat food, a can of some most food, and some water for the bowl I placed at the entrance of the building.

I think by now they have associated me with food, because when they saw me stooped by the building, they left the dumpsters and headed toward the building even though I was still there. When I drove off, I could see them scarfing down their banquet by the light of my headlights. It made me happy to do something nice for them, and that they obviously appreciated it in their own cat-like way.
