feeding the stray cats

Once a white ginger cat hangs around

In the morning in the afternoon

Even I chase him away he still returns

Though his home is at the back lane

His master is the Indian fair woman

She keeps and feeds cats and kittens

Though it becomes a problem in the garden

As these cats will poo on the grass

Destroying the grass and its urine smell

One day I decided not to chase the cat

I decided to feed the cat instead

And observe what will happen to the garden

The ginger cat returns happy to have his food

His persistence pays off I might say

Now he has food and water in the shade

In time the cat spreads his words

Many cats start to troop in to have free food

Some will wait for me in the morning

Some will steal it when I am not around

But there will be cat food in the food containers

Any cat can drop in and eat

Though I find less poo in the garden

Feeding the cats may help in some way

Believing the cats will see the difference

They will not poo in the garden

But it isn't 100% the cats will not poo

It still happens occasionally

Now I have become the cat soup kitchen

I buy the cat food and feed them the whole day

I leave the food in the food containers

The cats will stream in one by one

In the morning, afternoon and at night
