I'm not the sort of kind soul who drops food for the strays often, but I simply had this urge to do something good today. I'd been in a foul mood.
It's amazing how a simple act, like feeding strays, can warm my heart and make me so genuinely happy, it's almost magical. Just looking at the cats munch on the leftovers, (Pls don't take it sadistically. The food is clean. I swear.) I felt like one of those animal rescue officer on the Animal Planet, saving those underfed and abused strays.
People walking past must have thought I'm crazy when they caught me smiling to myself. I was filled with glee watching the cats roll over in satisfaction and licking their paws clean. I wish I could have a pet of my own and shower it with love everytime I see it. This way, I could be happy every single day. (But the lioness in the family forbids..sigh~z.)
I seldom feed strays because I don't encourage them to breed and reproduce. Fortunately, the ones I fed were sterilized (marked by their clipped ear - for cats), so I don't feel guilty. I've been watching the Animal Planet and learning more about their amazing capabilities. Now I understand why people like cats. Their solitude nature and independence has just gotten me mesmerized. Don't get me wrong, I still love dogs. It's just that I never expected the cat to climb up my scale this fast. Probably it's due to the fact that I had been blinded by the myths about them. (Yes, yes.. Praise to the Animal Planet. Hail Animal Planet.. - SCV better pay me for advertising.)
But seriously, if you are feeling down and need something to perk yourself up, feed the strays (cats or dogs - sterilized please). It's good karma for one. And you'd be surprised how good you'll feel having made a furry friend happy (without feeling compromised). Animals are the sweetest things on earth. =)
*Don't buy animal skin products. Remember, when the buying stops, the killing can too. (yes yes, Animal Planet channel... Show me the money~)
