I just received a ton of cat food

Tweet

The woman who now lives directly across from me up here moved in with a 14 or 15 year old orange tabby named Oliver. I of course love cats and have my own orange tabby, Charlie. It has been at least 3 years and she and I don't cross paths often due to our schedules but I always ask about the cat whenever I see her. Her live-in boyfriend (cop) was very rude to me when he first started visiting and then moved in but he has become more friendly over time when he has seen that I am a much better neighbor than the other 2 tenant families here. He had COVID and I left him soup. He helped me take down a dresser to the dumpster and I baked him lemon pound cake. He recently did something in the past couple of months and I honestly can't even remember what. **NO NOW I REMEMBER** He was going to work at 6:30am in the morning and saw me trying to get the actual key out of the key fob since my car wouldn't start. He did it for me. I baked him banana bread to thank him. In any case the relationship with him has warmed while Smokey McSmokerson next to him hides from me. The doorbell rang a little while ago and I was like "wut?" I wasn't expecting any deliveries and my friends and family just knock on the door. I opened it up and it was my cop neighbor. He said that Oliver had finally passed at almost 19 years (!!!) and asked if I wanted the cat food that they had. I was like "sure!" I just received 3 7-pound bags of dry cat food (Hill's and Royal Canin) and several small cans of wet food. I'm not a huge fan of those brands but at least they weren't Friskies or Purina. 1 of them is for senior cats and my oldest one is 6. I don't care. They get wet food, supplements, and high-quality treats so they will be fine. Hey free is free so I'm not going to turn it down. If they don't do well on it then I'll donate the rest to a local animal shelter. And, of course, me being me I will have to bake something for them to thank them. I have almost-ripe bananas on hand and everything else I need for banana bread so that is what they are going to receive. Sleep well sweet Oliver. You bridged the gap over the landing.
