About cats, again

Today I went to a pet shop to ask if they wanted to take in and sell the cats later; however, they said those cats were local while customers preferred Persian cats with flat faces and long hair. Ah huh, so they prefer "branded cats" which look ugly and dump pretty local cats! In addition, I was assured that SPCA will really put the cats down to sleep. They sure will have no trip to SPCA - I can't just let it be.  Ultimately, what I'm trying to do is keep them alive, not put them in the situation of being dumped, well, once more in their life. Thanks to some friends, I've now found a way which is supposedly better for them.



For the past 3 days, I've been feeding and playing a lot with the cats, and somebody seems to be laughing at it. I'm not free to be around them for ... like 2-3 hrs per day... if those hrs are useless. I said all these were tiring, yet I will still do it. What does it have to do with me being a mom who complains about taking care of her babies? Just absolute nonsense, esp. of a single male person. If one hasn't felt the urge to get up earlier to see the cats, isn't startled and worried whenever (s)he hears a loud "meow" (like yesterday when someone trapped a kitten in a dry riser), doesn't feed them, and doesn't wonder even in dreams at night what to do to keep them safe, (s)he doesn't know what I'm going through. In general, when we don't care enough to know what's going on in others' life and their feelings, we'd better not judge. Simply, each has a personal system of values which needs to be respected -- this is the first time I've felt some joy since I moved into this house, thanks to the cats =).



Here are new photos of the cats with a new "nest" which I found downstairs for them.



Hangin' on a small chair and having dinner:













"Stay put, so that I can take a photo of you!"









Can't find a place to sit in:









The new "nest"...









... with someone keeping swirling around out of excitement:









"This is Bear :|"









And a while later... Mother cat's sleeping soundly, so are the kittens:

Abandoned cats outside my door

Today's Kids are homeless cats.



Well, it just started yesterday night when someone who hasn't since shown a sign of remorse abandoned 6 little cats a few steps away from my door. A skinny mother and five 2-week-old cuties of different personalities, as observed.



Despite the situation, they look peaceful:













Beautiful mother cat:









Mother cat is always away from their new shelter, which is under a unused set of table and benches for human kids, therefore the teeny weeny "boys and girls" have to stay all by themselves most of the time.











(This little girl is always the one who occupies the comfortable "ball" bed)

















And when mom's home, it's time for a pleasant milk-sucking session:









Obviously I don't know what to do with 6 of them. It's EM and all their funny rules ::shrug::. I called SPCA and they agreed to pick 'em up, yet there'll be no guarantee - these cats will either be kept for a while or "put down to sleep" (you sure know what the SPCA officers mean!). I never liked cats, yet it's painful to bear with the fact that I can do none to help 'em.



It all boils down to a matter of values. What is the value of whoever did this stuff? And what is it of these innocent cats? It's kinda funny when you come to think about it.
