Kittens in Cairo!

FEROCIOUS FERAL FELINES!!!!!

Okay, so, I think I saw one of the cutest and funniest things ever today. When I did my weekly chore – i.e. cleaning the kitchen (man was it dirty) – I had to dump the garbage in the outside garbage pit by the back door. Surprise, surprise, two little kittens got there first. Scrawny little scavengers. They were so tiny I could’ve squashed them if I hadn’t seen them…and of course, if they had even allowed me to actually get close to them. The first thing they did when I opened the door was not get startled and skirt away like “normal” cats, but actually HISS at me…as if I was intruding on their fine dining experience!!! Almost a sort of “HOW DARE YOU.” I was like “Hmm, well alright then. Sorry!” But thinking about those hungry little fellows hit a soft spot in me and I fetched an old piece of pizza from the fridge that had been out for too long earlier today. A delicious morsel for a kitty if I don’t say so myself. I opened the door once more, flung the piece of pizza out and let them have at it. For the first time, though, the poor little things fled, frightened out of their fur! They thought that it was some large beast coming after them (it was, after all, bigger than either of them). When they finally got around to sniffing it and deciding that it was indeed not a monster, but a bunch of cheesy goodness, they started gnawing at it. And I mean gnawing. Like what you think lions would do to a wildebeest (P.S. For how much I like African safari animals, I honestly had no idea that that’s how you spelled wildebeest. Weird.) Anyway, maybe it’s because I don’t have cats and am not used to their “eating patterns,” but I thought they would nibble at it like normal house cats. NO. These ravenous feral fellows took at it like it was going to sprout legs and run away.

I will be posting a short video clip soon, just so that you might enjoy it as much as I did. The little kitties fought over the pizza – hisses and paw swatting – it was hysterical. The internet is too slow to upload it just now.

MEOWWWWW

Yum, pizza! P.S. Look at the McDonald's McArabia Chicken
