Cat stories at the magical dumpster – chapter 6
🐾
What does sour cream smell like and Why were the mice eaten?
The cats at the Magical Dumpster often argue about what real sour cream should smell like. Since neither humans, nor cats know what real sour cream is these days, opinions vary widely.
The scientist cats came to the conclusion that real sour cream should smell like mice. The mice were flattered and even sent an honorary delegation with an official expression of gratitude. But to everyone’s embarrassment, the delegation of mice was accidentally eaten, after cats mistook it for canned cat food.
After that, the entire feline community of the Magical Dumpster was in mourning. For a whole night, the cats felt remorse! In the morning, the elders even wanted to send an “appropriate” compensation to the relatives of the dead.
But the compensation they considered would constantly come out either too appropriate, or too inappropriate… In the end, it did not work out.
Cat justice, however, is not an empty phrase. Even the relatives of dead mice believed in cat justice, until they were eaten too. And so, the awkward question of compensation disappeared just like that…
So, dear reader, if you accidentally eat a mouse, don’t be too sad. Neither one of us is without sin, and the temptation is so great! Besides, the mice’s relatives, thankfully, are short-lived…
What sore spot cats don’t lie down on?
It’s all fun and games, but the cats seriously wanted to compensate the injured mice. A gesture from the feline heart, so to speak! That’s because cats are compassionate.
That’s why house cats lie down on people’s sore spots. Even though, truthfully, the sorest spot for the modern humans is their bank account. However, cats do not lay down on it – they are afraid they’ll disappear, just like everything that gets there does…
🐾
And so, after that unfortunate incident involving the mice, sour cream became a taboo subject for cats at the Magical Dumpster. Sometimes a young cat will say without thinking, “Sour cream, sour cream,” and he is immediately shushed by those around him, “Quiet! It’s embarrassing, so many mice were eaten for nothing…”
