If you think cats have already got all the human love and care in the world, think twice - some cat lovers in America name today -
Happy Mew Year to Cats Day.
I am a canine person, not very much into a feline.
In other words - I am a dog person; I'm not too fond of cats, to say the least - until recently.
There are no-one-knows-how-many street cats in our neighborhood.
Some roam the entire residential compound as if they were patrolling security guards.
Some sleep their whole lives away wherever they like.
There is only one white cat that takes the underground garage as its proprietary territory.
It either cuddles up on the engine covers or crawls under the chassis of the cars parking there.
My wife and I decided it must be a she and named her Little Kitty.
Some weeks ago, one of the coldest days in Shanghai, we thought of her after she was out of sight for quite a while.
Was she dead? Frozen or starved or sick to death? We wondered.
Several days passed without the kitty sleeping in the garage. Just when we were about to forget her, there she appeared again.
Hello, Kitty! We burst out - that moment on, I knew I didn't hate cats anymore.
My wife made her a shelter out of an empty carton cushioned with an old blanket and a towel and bought her packaged cat food.
We wish her a Happy Mew Year.
