There’s this neighborhood tom cat that we all sort of take care of. My neighbor takes him in to the vet, where she works, for free health care, I feed him daily, and the other neighbors don’t kill him. It’s a community thing. Anyway, like I said, I feed him. Two Days Ago, I bought Generic cat food. It’s the same “indoor formula” that I always get, but cheaper. Also, I’m battling a hellacious cold and didn’t feel like going all the way to the next city to get the name brand food. I settled for the generic kind sold at the local Piggly Wiggly.
TWO DAYS AGO, a certain cat started snubbing my food offerings. WTF? um….hey there lil’ cat dude….take what you get. He keeps looking at me like:
senior meows-the-loudest: What’s this crap?
ME: It’s the same stuff I always give you.
Senior meows-the-loudest: No it isn’t. It’s clearly generic. I am above eating generic.
ME: You eat bugs and rats. I’ve seen you do it.
Senior meows-the-loudest: That’s not the point. This shit isn’t gonna fly.
ME: Look, times are tough and there are like 4 more just like you inside and they seem to eat it just fine.
Senior meows-the-loudest: <blank stare>
ME: Fine. When this bag runs out I’ll get the name brand stuff….asshole….
I am dead serious when I say that cat is snubbing my generic food. For now, I know he’s eating it when no one is looking. Either that or a stray dog is….or one of the million bunnies we have out here.
My POINT IS that cat’s an asshole.
