Once we were discussing how some people ‘change’ colors depending on the situation. At one moment they would be fiery and stern, but another moment they would like the humblest in the world. They would change according to the situation and their self-interest. At this, mother told an interesting story from her household:
It so happened that the cat which was a nuisance to mother’s kitchen gave birth to some babies somewhere on the upper shelfs. Seeing her condition, mother didn’t prevent her from entering the kitchen. But for the sly cat, motherhood had brought a great change. After she kept her babies in our kitchen, she stopped eating or stealing anything from our house! Even if milk would be kept uncovered, she would not drink anything from it! Mother was happy and she had no problems with the cat now. Before late night, the cat would feed her babies with her milk and then she would go out of the house to hunt and eat during the whole night so that mother cat remains strong enough. Then she would return in the morning. If we would be sleeping and kitchen would be closed in the morning, she would sit outside the kitchen do very soft and polite meuw-meuw, making mother to come and open the door. This way, her critical months passed without any threat.
But once her babies grew old and she took them outside our house, she changed into her previous self. She would not leave any food items untouched and would keep mother on her toes.
Mother says that when a cat can change herself this way to serve her selfish interests, what can we say about humans?
