Ghastly today

Today has been a solid D-
Not only is it raining, not only is it colder than everyday but tragedy has struck in the form of coronavirus pioneering doctor passing away leaving behind his pregnant wife who is also infected .
We all mourn the loss of Dr. Li and this day couldn't have gotten worse had I not chanced upon a lot of new cats in the compound.
That these were beautiful, exotic and cats of breed made me realize that these are among the many pets abandoned by people who think that coronavirus can be transmitted through cats and dogs!
What the hell! People, no, not people because that would mean they're human and well, being human has nothing to do with being humane so in fact people have thrown out their pets to fend for themselves on the streets and how cruel can anyone be?
These animals who have been dependent and loved a family and been taken care of are now suddenly finding themselves homeless.
It is painful and I found almost half a dozen cats in the neighbourhood today.
Since morning I've been trying to forage for empty boxes and containers in which these animals can stay warm and eat in.
The entrance of my building looks like a cat inn but where else would these animals go.
I'm still trying to find new boxes and have put a couple bed sheets through scissors to make small stuffings for the boxes to keep the little animals warm and I don't know if they belong to this compound or have walked in from some adjoining ones but it breaks my heart to see them hungry and scared.
Oh man I could cry and in fact I already have.
