bigfoot 

        he eats it and beats it has an aversion to being petted  but  whats to expect from a feral cat

Expect

Yah ya do something out of the kindness of your heart don expect anythingnothing in return Ifya are  don do it 

Tit for tat indebted  Don help

Ya don think somebody ought to return the favour

Spose tha depends on wha someone means by favour 

                                                         Obligation   Thank you negates any debt

But youd like to have bigfoot relate some kind of thanks submit to your petting

   Itd be nice but unnecessary

I disagree

To which yare welcome 

                          Yatake a girl on a date you expect a kissmebbe more 

I think so

Shes obligated

No not obligated but . . 

. . She owes you

I didnt say obligated owes

No 

   Ya said  I think so

Yare making too much of this

Not me I was plain spoken 

                             bigfoots affection woud be nice but isnt necessary  Ive fed him twice a day for almost ten yearsActually  this will make ya feel betterhow he repays me

Ah so he does repay you

Evenings if he isnt apparent I call to him an feed wee in the meantime

Wee

Another feral I feed 

                     Usually by the time I get wee situated bigfoots coming up the hill to the porch  he saunters  saunters like John Wayne  Its a kick  a wonderful treat  in your word  repayment

he harrumphedcrossed his arms over his chest

                                                 Man  ya really take the cake

Don like cake
