I sat and guarded the food while the cats ate so the religious nutcase didn't throw away their food.
This is what it's come to lol
God I fucking hate this suburb and it's demographics.
What happened last time? Did they just say “it’s against my religious beliefs” and just tossed it all away?
I hate people who use things like that as a shield to justify their actions.
Pretty much. Except she waited till I wasn't there to throw it away. Coward.
Was she trespassing?
Nope. Public land.
Man that's weird.
Just had a quick squizz at which religions / cultures don't like cats and it's a bit of a mixed bag!
She's either sikh or hindu.
Also note that I've been routinely been treated quite poorly by the Indian community because of my race. So that isn't helping either.
Her issue is feeding them any kind of meat.
Like her beliefs trump innocent creatures well-being. They will die if all they eat are vegetables.
Cats are obligate carnivores, they have to eat meat.
FWIW the cats won't mind eating kibble off the ground. No serving container means nothing to help throw it out.
That's a damn good point. I never thought of putting it on the ground.
That said, I felt fine sitting and chilling with them. Was pretty cool. And I give them wet food as well.
Feeding them on the other side of the fence keeps me in public land. She can't do shit except wait for me to leave so she can throw whatever food is left into the bin.
I wonder if she feels righteous when she does that.
Also, it made me smile when she walked past and saw me lol
That’s assuming it’s an organised/established religion and not, uh, one of her own invention
