My last GF broke up with me because I kept going up to random street cats and saying "What have you ACHIEVED? What have you DONE with your life so far?"
And she'd be like "Stop it! stop it! it's just a cat, it doesn't have to do anything. Leave it be, leave it alone!"
But the more she did this the more I'd be tempted to go the opposite direction and really press the cats hard, police interrogation style. She'd get so uncomfortable
I'd shout at the cat like "What have you achieved then? Anything? You look at least 10 years old given that ragged fur. Have you done anything at all except EAT and SLEEP?"
And seeing me do this, she'd quickly begin to cry and then start running up the street all the way back to our home. I didn't try to stop her. I let her run away all the way home
But the moment she was out of sight, I'd crouch down near the cat and take the huge bag of secret treats out of my pocket. Then I'd spend 30 mins just feeding and stroking and playing with the cats and any other cats that came by for treats too
This routine repeated again and again until it became a ritual
And with time, the 30 minutes of solitude, just me and my cats, came to be my favorite time of the week. Almost like a release valve, a kind of mini heaven created by an absurdity
But 2 days ago, when I walked back home after doing this maybe for the 40th time
There was a handwritten letter from my GF (now ex)
It said "A cat is an animal. It is not expected to achieve anything or fulfill a higher purpose. I was able to ignore it the first few times, but after seeing you do it so many times, my opinion about you has changed permanently. You are a person who believes that cats should work and achieve things only humans can. And that's unfair. And the way you talk to them is very stressful to them. They cannot achieve anything. What you said to those cats showed me who you are. I am leaving you and finding a man who actually likes cats"
I tried to call her but she blocked me everywhere
In order to cope, I have been spending 2-3 hours with the cats the last few days
