The reason I pat stray cats

Aliah:

There are many reasons why I stop and pat a stray cat when I’m walking down the street. One, I love animals. Two, like humans, cats need a sign of affection, a mere reassurance, to let them know that
everything is all right.

Living on the streets can be dangerous at times. Especially with animal abusers lurking around, finding their next prey. What about those who simply can’t stand the idea of having our four-legged friends living in the same neighbourhood with them? Where would they go unwanted?

So, who would speak up for the cats?

They can’t possible defend themselves.

I think the reason why we’re doing this is that, deep down inside, we feel that we’re able to help the cats one way or another. Sure, you can’t save the world. At least, you try.

meow, Aliah
