Know they are Loved Janet Kuypers 10/16/19, on Global Cat Day stray cat excerpt on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. house cat excerpt in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr. When visiting a farm we’d see stray cats roaming near the barn that’s when I learned the farmer will leave milk or spare food so that these cats wouldn’t go hungry and barns were home I don’t live on a farm, but if I see a cat on a nearby street, I assume it is not a stray, and I try to give love from a distance they never come closer but I try and when I see a stray walking on our yard, I bring a bowl of dry food out, and one or two bowls of water because of the insane heat here I make a point to not come too close, I put the food down, walk away and when the stray feels comfortable enough they devour food, water and I look for them the next day, to give them more food and water to let them know they can feel safe here, they are loved then I come inside, see one of my cats cured up in the chair that’s next to my desk in my office; I stop my work, turn to her scratch her ear, pet her a bit, you know, to share the love
