The Cats Of 20

The cats meow a lot when they're hungry, several times a day. I am in charge of them because of the fact that I, Deena, am a cat lover. Anything that comes by to say hi becomes my hobby of love.  Any cat that lost their way is welcome to stay and it leads to a cat clan for all I care. From one cat to 20, a big profit if I'm in business today.

As the number of cats is growing, so is my job as their keeper. It is a daily chore of feeding them because they grow so fast just like what my mom tells me everyday. That I am growing too fast, soon she will become my little sister since her height will be shorter than mine. She smiles with a cunning eye, making me feel like it might be better to stay as tall as I am now. That way, she has nothing to say and I won't worry about growing up, taller than my tall mom used to be.

I have named all my cats from midnight to morning star and enjoyed it so far. My vocabulary is improving because it is a challenge to find names that fits their personality. Yes, these cats are all soooo different. Some are sweet and some are rude. Graypaw loves to be touched! Wonder where I got her name? Well, she is all gray except for her paw. She sometimes gets annoying because while I am reading my book, hoping for a little "me" time, she would be rubbing her furry body against my legs and I happen to be ticklish! But all in all, I love her to death; I'll sacrifice my reading time to spend time with her except for this time.

It rain so hard, staying indoor was the best thing to do. My heart was lonely, I miss my kitties. When it was clear, I discovered the cat food container was left open slightly, there was mold everywhere. I blamed myself for fault of letting this happen but I was only 10. Yes, ten and taking care of 20 cats! How in the world would I be able to keep up with them? I do my best and this time, my best wasn't enough to protect the food from getting wet from the heavy rainfall that the world really needs so badly. I screamed for help and my mom came like a speed of the lightning. She came to take pictures while I move that bucket. What? Take pictures of my mess? I got so busy figuring out what to do that my mom was enjoying my every move, holding the bucket, pulling a wire screen, gather some wood to air dry some cat food that can still be saved. Part of it is moldy and yucky. The water made them looked by little rocks of pooh but I was just glad, most of them were safely dry inside the bucket.

I instructed my mom what to do like I was the parent and she was my child. After all, I know more about taking care of cats than my mom do because I spend more time with my cats than she does since she is busy with house work. That explains why...

The cat food incident has taught me how to be a leader, no matter who is with you. My mom did not mind me instructing her but she was happy to see how responsible and caring I was with my responsibility - the cats of 20.
