I would give them water, go to the store and buy them cat food and tuna. I have done the same for other cats from time to time. I mean give them water, cat food and tuna.

I'm doing ok, thank you.

A cat would follow you through the woods while you were looking for it, and have the gall to look at you like "wtf are you doing out here in the woods?" when you finally notice it padding behind you.

Good morning

Everythin' we dreamed of
I'm like the fly Malcolm X, buy any jeans necessary

From the streets to the league, from an eighth to a key
But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets
From the moments of pain, look how far we done came
Haters sayin' you changed, now you doin' your thing
