Just off to the side of the road, Casey crouches down and places two bowls on the ground. After pouring clean water into one and cat food into the other, he makes a chittering sound. Soon few cats slink out of the shadow and congregate around the bowls. He doesn't pat them or anything, simply watches over them eating and drinking. Feeding strays has been part of his morning routine for decades. Someone needs to look out for them. Might as well be him.
His little ritual is interrupted, however, with the approaching footstep. Some cats run, while the others back away to keep safe distance. But one yellow cat, the one who is more affectionate with people, stays and feasts on the wet food. Sighing, Casey stands up and says, "don't... make any sudden movement, please. They're skittish." He gestures toward the yellow cat. "Once he's done eating, I'll move the bowls. Won't take long."
