Arrrrgh! I did it again, I lost about 30 bucks worth of phone minutes!

The prepaid phone minutes expires after a year I refill it with minutes, it was marked on a calender on the phone but I don't see it like every week. I use my head for remembering scheduled appointments and such!

This annoys me a little, it'd be nice if they could notify me when the expiration date were getting closer, the lost money could've saved this little stray kitten I saw last night for the first time. I didn't see it's parents, I could keep feeding these two cats at work though, 'cos I got free food for them there, but here at home, it is an apartment complex with no pets allowed, plenty of people live here, it's cold outside, I really didn't wanna see that and worried about that kitten..

So back to the cell phone, I'm not gonna refill it. I tell you, I believe this is the third time at least that I lost the minutes like this. The last time, the automatic message got the calender wrong, called a customer service but they were no help. The phone takes calls till March, I just can't make one unless I refill it. I'll go as long as I can without initiating a phone call, so next time I refill it will be not on busy December.

The work cats, yes, now it's plural, I think I been feeding a young Tabby, Tiger Tabby? Not sure how to describe the coat, and an old lady with a chopped tail, we see a lot of them, aren't we? Are they just klutz? This one has lighter fur, light brown and white, spotted tabby, I maybe mistaken here describing what she looks like here though.. I haven't named either of them, they can't get attached to me.

I first started feeding the tiger one, I feed as much as I could manage with anticipation that they come around to see me, I look for them all the time now. I'm human, I can manage my own feelings, and he seems to be busy. He comes around for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it is unpredictable.

One night, after he ate what I fed and had a full stomach, he was licking his lips with satisfied look, and right before that while he was eating, he kept looking at me from his lower positioning, "Why are you feeding me so, Mr?". I had to look away, he cannot get attached to me like that, I didn't walk away, so I stayed and we got to talking about his job.

He tells me that he works in a medical field, he goes to work in the wee hour of the morning when nobody else was around, gets into this futuristic machinery and sits on the cockpit. He does this papurr checklist 'cos mistakes are not taken lightly in his workplace, then he rests two rear paws on the pedals, two other paws still holding his morning mug of coffee. He uses them to press rows of buttons right in front of him, he saids he sometimes needs to use his tail for that too. He also tells me that he had been working there as long as he remembers, workers like him are everywhere in the hospitals, and some cats he's known had fallen for cancer because of the radiation. When I asked him more about his job, he just said "Meow, that's too technical to explain."

He kept talking to me though, about his meowism. He saids that it is important to live in a mewment and keep a paw-sitive cat-titude at any given time, so when he has to operate a new machine with new buttons and switches to flip, he doesn't say "You have cat to be kitten me!" or "This brain image is freakin' mewot!" Instead, he tells himself he doesn't have to be purr-fect the first time, just be meowself. No emeowtion. The purr-severance pays off in the end. You cat to purr-sist to maintain a purr-pose in spite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement. Keep paw-sitive and hold on to that feline.

Well, after his glowing eyes were done talking, I summarized his message as:

'You are given this life because you are strong enough to live it.'

Nobody ever handed him **** in life, he maybe paw-r but he enjoys his life.

Live long and pawspurr! (Imagine Spock and a kitten here and smile )
