Generous Cats

Every so often, some people call Her up and ask if She will give some things to poor people or soldiers or people who don't have jobs. At first She thinks, I don't have anything anyone would want. Then She remembers some things that She doesn't use any more. She tells me She has more clothes that She will ever wear, and someone could probably use some. Then there are things that have sat around for a long time, so long that He and She don't even see them anymore. One thing like that is the scratch lounge that Kate used to use to sharpen her little claws, and then have a nap in. It went into the big bag of stuff for the poor people. Even if they don't have cats, they can sell it in their store and use the money for some good use. Kasey and I used to sneak in that scratch box after Kate left, but we are generous cats, so we let it go. Another thing to think about giving away is something that has been in a drawer, and no one has used it for so long, He and She forgot it was there. Some of those things went into the bag. Then there are things that She loves because one of Her beloveds gave them to Her. She has loved them and treasured them, but now they need to find a good home. She hasn't checked the gift closet yet, but I bet there are some things for the bag in there, too. Maybe She bought a real bargain, but the kids are too old for it now. Some poor person's kid would like it. If She doesn't get rid of a lot of this stuff, this house will fill up and we will have to make paths to get around,. I saw a house like that on TV once and it made me wonder where a cat is supposed to sleep in all that mess. I help Her find stuff to put in the bag, so that our house doesn't get like that. Of course, Kasey doesn't care. Did I just see Him take the tails off some shrimp? Mmmm good idea for dinner. Cheery-bye.
