Well I was not smiling at the time, but in tears, Sunday is my day for me, and I going mountain climbing with some friends, and at the end of the day we have a cheap meal some where. where upon I try to save the scraps off my plate and every one else who has left any thing.
Well that's the general ideal any way. Some times if I am Lucky there is meat serve up in a big dish where every one helps them self's, and theres quite a bit left, Oh goodie too shoes, lots for the strays that I call off to on the way home.
In Spain there are little groups of cats that hang around the dust bin areas waiting for the chance that the big lids are left open and they can do a bit of rummaging. I know of quite a few pit stops where I can drop my scraps, and have the joy of seeing them devour my offering. I also carry around in the car a few cans of cat food and cheap dry cat nuts, which are added to the offering if it is a lean one.
Well this would not be the first time that I have been challenged on the left overs, where upon 3 out of the 10 of my so call friends are so hard up that they wish to take home some of the meat for a sandwich for the next day. (One Lady has just inherit half a house.)
Obviously not animal loves.
Some of us where still eating, But the left overs had began to take up the converstavion, and I could see that what I had my eye on, was going to disappear into some ones sandwich the following day. So I picked another piece of meat out of the dish and added it to my empty plate.
and took a bite out of it, and then stop eating.
my so called friend who was sitting opposite me, challenge my action suggesting that I had only taken the meat to prove a point.
I was so shock that I did not believe what I had just herd and had to request her to repeat her self.
Which she did, Well my god did the shit hit the fan.
Quite a few hot words were exchange along side a few swear words from my self, at this stage I was close to tears and not really holding them back too well, ( I think all the up set of losing Tabbs and the last 3 months of my fight for him, and taken its toll. ) I am not normally so up set able
While the fire works where flying one of my other friends said that I could have her meat, and that she was only interested in the bones for her neighbours dog. and had started to collect some of the meat from the table, which I think made things even worst.
At this stage I felt I was so hurt by what had happen, and also the fact that this had obviously been a on going problem which I had been unaware of. But so petty.
Any way I pulled my money out and left a payment for my meal on the table and left empty handed.
But as I got to my car my friends husband and another friends dogie wife followed me out to the car with a doggies bag full of all the meat which she gee fully told me she had taken for me. She also told me that I was not wrong and that my friend and been out of order.
This made me feel a lot better. But this happen last Sunday, and its only now that I can see a funnier side to it.
There was a big satisfaction at the end of my drive home, when I stopped of to put out the pickings, there where 2 of my normal strays that came down from the hiding place to take my offerings.
They are too wild for me to touch, and also I do not go every day, as I do not wish too let them down when I am not available for them. also I will be out of Spain, for a month, later in the year. Also they do seem to be coping weight wise quite well. I think taht my be they have another source from else way.
My friend who had brought the food out to me when I went to the car, phoned me up later that evening and told me that also the so called friend and also called me a bitch,
So I don't think I will be walking with that group of friends for quite some time.
Hope that some of you can see a funner side to this. along side the sad side of how sad some people can been regarding the well fair of our felines.
Also I know that some of my friends think I am a bit of a standing joke, But I do not care.
Take care to you all, wish and praying for you unwell felines, and once again thank you all for all your support over Tabbs troubles.
Sandra Tabbs past, plus Suzy one eyed Copper and UK suzy. plus Chang look alike who calls during the night for his food that I have been leaving out for him.
