Contemporary shovelers can be said to be more and more exquisite in raising cats, and everyone will give the cat the best conditions within their own ability, so that it can grow healthily and healthily. But in such an era of more and more attention to scientific cat raising, an uncle's way of raising cats is extremely sloppy.
According to the blogger @ Huang Yi cat, few people know what the uncle's real name is, everyone calls him "Uncle Cat", as the name suggests, he has a full house of cats.
How does he usually keep cats? It was fed a few dollars a pound of cat food on the Internet, which had no nutrition and might still be poisonous cat food; a few cardboard boxes, covered with coal ash, were the cat litter basins of the kittens.
Someone condemned him: Huh? What other cats are raised under this condition?
Don't worry, first listen to the story of Uncle Cat.
Uncle Cat is a migrant worker who has moved to the city to work, and he is also the shoveler of more than sixty cats. The money spent on yourself every day is two steamed buns in the morning, a box lunch of 10 yuan at noon, and 4 yuan of pho in the evening.
Most of the rest of the money is spent on cats: neutering cats, seeing doctors.
How could he have so many cats?
In the early years, he lived in a simple shed and often fed stray cats wandering around, so more and more stray cats made their homes in Uncle Cat's house. After a long time, Uncle Cat was worried that so many cats would disturb the people, so he moved into the current yard.
Don't be surprised, it is not a luxury courtyard, but a dilapidated courtyard with a monthly rent of 700 yuan made of bricks and tiles, and the holes in the bricks and tiles are lined up with high-rise buildings.
A few years ago, including @Huang Yi cat and other people began to promote Uncle Cat online, so that some local people knew about him, and some people would send him some cat food and other daily necessities to reduce his burden.
The vast majority of them are inferior cat food for a few dollars a pound online. But Uncle Cat is very grateful for this, these few dollars a pound of cat food, at least so that his cats are not starved to death, no longer need to eat leftovers.
Solving the problem of food and clothing is to solve the biggest problem. As for what kind of canned food and cat strips, Uncle Cat and his cats probably do not have this concept. The cat is in a good mood, the hair is not smooth, the eyes are not bright, and the cat uncle has no time to take care of it.
But according to @Huang Yi cat's observation, the pleasure of the cats there is definitely not inferior to the cats with very good material life: the cat climbing frame full of houses, the open-air yard, the rich green plants, the shoveler who loves them... In addition to the material things, other cats have, they also have.
It's just that this huge space has no place to put down a bed of Uncle Cat.
The downside of hoarding is that cats that are not neutered can quickly "split" into kittens. Uncle Cat knows this and actively neuters cats. However, his cats are still growing.
Why? Because with the fame of Uncle Cat, his family has become a very suitable cat abandonment place. When many people want to throw away their cats, they will throw the cat at Uncle Cat.
Often, as soon as the door opens in the morning, there is a cage at the door, and inside is a pampered breed of cat, staring at him with frightened eyes. The next day, there may be another one at the door.
Eventually, these pampered cats, abandoned for various reasons, became one of the cats in Uncle Cat's family who ate cheap cat food and lived with other cats in this dilapidated courtyard in the bustling center of the city.
Occasionally, when playing with other cats on a leaky roof, they may also look up at the luxury high-rise buildings overhead, where they once had their homes.
So, is it important to feed a few dollars a pound of cat food and make cat litter with cinders, which are "not good for cats"? Here in Uncle Cat, I don't think it matters.
I remember seeing a story written by a blogger before, when he was in debt and physically and mentally exhausted, and then he met a stray cat. He fed the cat ham sausage, and the cat waited at his door morning and night for him to come home. During this time, he wanted to give the cat to his friend for adoption, but the cat ran back on its own.
Later, the cat got sick, and it may have been that it was already sick. The blogger didn't have the money to treat it, so he tried some earthen methods, which had no effect, and in the end, the cat died at his door.
Then several people who condemned him appeared, saying that he had killed the cat, and said that if the stray cat could not provide "qualified" food, it was resolutely forbidden to feed other food, and only clean water.
I've heard this claim before, and it's very scientific. Because some of the substances in the so-called "unqualified" food will bring some harm to the cat's body.
But its science doesn't prevent me from disagreeing with this idea, because in a nutshell: why not eat minced meat?
Some people do their best just to be alive, and so do cats. A stray cat that is about to starve to death, what is most needed is the one that can fill the stomach with charcoal in the snow, or the kind of "icing on the cake" that says that it is unhealthy and can only drink water?
I think it's the former.
I have seen too many people, spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a cat, feed the average person can not afford to buy food, and as a result of playing for two days do not want to play, or the cat does not obey, just throw it away.
I have also seen many people like Uncle Cat, seeing that even they have to be fed, are still willing to find ways to give the cat a bite to eat.
What is more important, cats know better than people.
