And well ... and what have I to say? ... I’m ashamed to talk about these things, these are our own things, they are private things and then why should I talk about it with you? So you write them and then someone reads them? ... and what does Peppino say? Did you ask Peppino about? ...
Well, he always says yes, he never said no to anyone ... he's a good man, no, no ... I really can say this ... he's a really good man ... but sometimes he exaggerates a bit ... now in our building people take him for crazy, but he’s not crazy at all ... no, no ... it all started with the story of cats ... yes, yes, cats ... we had a cat, just one, to keep a cat at home is something that many do, then he came with another cat, a newborn kitten, he says that that the kitten was abandoned, had no mother, and would have made a bad end ... and what does he do? ... He thinks that he can be the mother ... yes, yes, the mother of the kitten, yes ... do you believe that a newborn kitten is like an adult cat? ... he had to nurse the little kitten with a dropper and not once ... seven or eight times a day ... in short, the story was that he put aside whatever else and took care only of cats ...
Then, when the little kitten had not grown up yet he brought me another one ... and what was I supposed to do? We took also this third cat! And what should we do? I told him ... and what do you want to do? Did you become a cat-keeper? You must think of me, not of cats! If I was a cat you would take care of me even more than how you really do ... but now you have to think of cats! ... And he felt like a beaten dog and I said: And smile a little! On! You are my cat-keeper! ... In short ... we have arrived to have eight or ten cats at home ... eight! Did you understand? … Alright then! But this way he was happy ... and what had I to do ... in short, we took them ...
Then another story came to his mind ... that there were other cats at the municipal park and that nobody thought of them ... so I said ... "Listen Peppi'! ... but it is not that now we want to bring home all the cats in the city?" And he said: "Absolutely not! ... You don’t even have to think about it ... " ... but the fact is that now the little kittens had grown big and he used to go out in the morning to bring food to cats at the municipal park ... and it is not that he brought the leftovers ... no , no ... in the evening he cooked ... yes, yes! ... He cooked especially for cats and all good stuff that I would have eaten it too ...
Now you know how it is people here ... in short, that they are always busy but not with their own business. They saw him go out with the bags in the morning and they all knew where he was going ... when he passed by they said: There, see there? The cat-keeper is there! ... and I had become the friend of the cat-keeper.
At the beginning he used to leave the food for cats near the building in the center of the municipal park ... then once they put a fine on him ... because they said that he used to dirty everything ... in short, that there was danger that the rats would arrive ... in short, 150 euros! Did you understand?
But do you believe that those of the municipality have ended it so? ... certainly not, that those employ so many people, a lot of people that are there without doing anything ... and because people called him "cat-keeper" ... what did they do those good people of the municipality? They sent the social worker ... a woman ... but I told her ... “But what are you looking for here?” That I never thought it was for cats, in short you have understood what I thought ... and what had I to think? .. So she began a preach ... and hygiene ... and the house dirty ... and spy behaviors ... exactly so … but what? That it was she the spy ... not my little Peppino, who has always been a good Christian! ...
So you know what the social worker did? ... she gave me a book ... and said that the municipality had done it ... but now it was not really a book ... in short, a small thing, a booklet ... the Handbook of Eco-cat-keeper! Eh! Yes, yes! ... the Eco-cat-keeper Manual ... did you saw what they do at the municipality? ... and then people say that municipal employees do nothing! ... So just to start the conversation I told her ... “But if you ever have to give me the cat feeder handbook you would have to avoid arguments such as spy behaviors”, but she was getting nervous, in short, we took this booklet ... but that was a crazy thing! And it says he had to clean up before putting the food ... and then he had to collect everything, everything ... saucers ... in short, everything ... and it said that if the cats left excrements nearby he had to remove them with the shovel, and had to put them into a closed bag, but then it says that you cannot throw such waste in the dumpster ... in short, what had he to do? Had he to bring excrements home?
Now they have made that law that if you have a dog and the dog poops on the ground you have to collect it from the ground... and that's okay ... but now also that of cats? But how is it that before, when Peppino did not go there, there were excrements on all sides and no one worried ... and now that he goes there the social worker comes out of the blue? She certainly doesn’t go there to clean, she only comes here to annoy us ...
Three or four months ago Peppino got sick and was hospitalized for 15 days ... My god! How terrible have been those 15 days! ... I didn’t understand anything about cats ... he was at the hospital, but he didn’t worry about what illness he had ... no! He thought only of cats ... do you understand? ... And what could I do? ... in the morning and in the evening two hours and two hours with him at the hospital and all the other time I was cooking for the cats, to keep those at home, that those were about ten, and then I had to go to the municipal park ... to bring food to the cats that were there ... and clean up first and clean up after ...
And then there was a policeman at the park ... who was there just because he had to check that I did everything according to the cat book ... and what do you want to do? ... there are so many jobs in this world ... and he had to control me ... he was always there!
Then Peppino came out of the hospital and thank God everything went well ... and I felt happy! Yes, I had some little things to do but he was the chief of the army! He took all decisions ... you know those things that you have to understand if the cat is sick ... if you have to take it to the vet ... that little pension money we get monthly we spent it all to feed the cats and take them to the vet ...
But now all this story what does it have to do with you? ... Ah, ok, ... Now, look around! ... Are there cats at home? … Neither one! Peppino took them to the board ... as there are the boards for Christians ... there are also for cats ... and do you know how he was convinced? ... Well that's another good story ... in short, one day another social worker comes ... that when she said “social worker” I was already closing the door in her face ... I said to her: But another time with the history of cats? She looked at me and said: “What?” ... the social worker of history of cats had nothing to do with her! ...
She told me that it was for an application that Mr. Giuseppe had sent to the municipality ... but what application? I didn’t understand anything! I told her: “Excuse me ... but what question? I don’t know anything!” She pulled out a card, which was just as Peppino writes. So in the end she told me that he would have to show up at the hospital's pediatrics on Monday morning and she left me a card ... then she looked at me and told me: “But did you understand correctly?” Exactly her words ... And I replied that I am an old man, and I’m also an invalid, but I’m not stupid ... well ... and so she’s gone ...
When Peppino came home with the bags of cats, looking at that card he become more and more cheerful and then he explained it to me ... he said he had sent the application to be a volunteer at the hospital ... I told him: “But what can you do? You're not a doctor, you're not a nurse ... you cannot do anything! ... but what are you going to do there? You can only annoy them” ... I told him just like that ... well, you have to see how he became dark, it seemed that the world had collapsed on him ... and what had I to do? ... well, it was too hard for me to see him this way and so I told him a little bit of good things, you know, what you tell when you have to be forgiven ... I told him he was a good man ... that Peppino is really a good man, that it’s always better for Christians that for cats ... that also those are poor beasts ... however, but the Christians are another thing! Then I told him: Would you like a coffee? ... We never quarrel, but when there has been some disagreement ... because in many years there has been some disagreement ... when we made peace we had a cup of coffee together ... In short, we had this coffee and he was newly all happy ... that when Peppino is in a good mood it’s a beautiful thing to see! ...
Now he didn’t know anymore what he had to do with cats ... those at the municipal park were alone before and would have been alone even after ... but he sent a nice letter to the social worker and explained to her everything clearly, that he couldn’t anymore care of the cats and that she should have taken care of the cats herself ... the social worker! She would have to became cat-keeper herself! Then he thought of our cats ... I told him: let's keep one! We have always kept a dozen cats at home ... even they are beasts deserving care! ... And he told me that cats carry diseases and that you cannot work at the hospital and keep cats at home ... and now the world has turned up-down!
So he did so much and said so much, that our dozen cats have been settled all of them: three or four by people in the building ... he said that so he could see them, four or five other, the younger ones, by our friends and two or three to the sister. Those he had given the sister were those who were the sick ones and had to be more looked after ... I will not tell you how the sister reacted! She said: “Do you want to give me some cats? ... but at least give me two cats cats! Not those who can’t even stand up! But Peppino ... was about to devour his sister! "You must love the beasts, that if you treat a beast this way, when it will be your time the others will treat you the same way!" ... well in the end the sister has taken the old cats ... and now Peppino has already gone to annoy his sister many times because he had to know how the cats were! ...
Well, then he did the medical examination ... they found a little bit of high blood pressure and the doctor said he was lucky that they measured the pressure and now he takes some pills ... some small ones for the pressure ... anyway they accepted his application and considered him suitable ... He was frightened that they could not accept him for the story of the pressure ... then they made him attend a course ... and what an interesting thing it was ... I too have looked at all the things they gave him ... you know, all the things of hygiene and then how the hospital is organized and how to receive the relatives ... in short, all such things ... but there were a lot of bad things about the diseases of children ... there were certain ... my God! But in short, you must know some things if you want to be a volunteer ... and then if he has to work at the hospital he must know how to behave ... then, after the month of the course, because it lasted four weeks and he was there three afternoons a week ...
In short, after the course I don't tell you what he did on the first day he went there, he had not slept for three days, always thinking he had to go there ... he was all stunned so that in the morning it was I the one who had to make coffee, he could hardly stand up and I said, "But now that you go to the hospital why don’t let yourself be hospitalized? But don’t you see that you cannot stand up!” But he looked like a spring, jumped on one side and the other ... I accompanied him to the hospital but he didn’t let me in and we said goodbye by the gate. I went home and I prepared lunch ... something very appetizing ... because he was doing something important ... at least that was how he considered it ...
When he got home he couldn't refrain from talking ... and this and that ... he had found what he wanted to do ... that we don’t have children, that if we had had children, they would have become old too ... that he was at ease among the children that they called him grandfather and he was happy ... but also told me how some sick children were ... My God! How does Peppino find the courage to stay there? Those things are bad, are just things that make you heart hurt ... what you say? ... an old man ... and that's fine! But a baby! Jesus! But why? Those haven’t even started ...
So let's leave aside the bad stuff ... in short, Peppino was really happy ... then he got the idea! He looked at me and told me: But why don’t you come you too tomorrow? I thought he wanted me to go with him ... and I said: “Okay, let's go tomorrow together” ... And he smiled at me but you had to see! He made himself red rand gave me a kiss ... something that is really rare between us ... I was asking myself: “How is all this history?” Then I understood ... Peppino wanted me to became a volunteer too! ... but I hadn’t understood anything! ... and now? And what could I do? I couldn’t tell him: Look! You didn’t understand anything, I thought I had to accompany you and not that I had to do what you do ... And no! And how do you do? A thing like that? … and no! Peppino a thing expected and I ... what had I to do? ... So I told him that the next day I would send the application form. He was happy ... but now, you don't have to tell Peppino about this misunderstanding ... no! Otherwise you put me in trouble! You don’t have to write this! If you don’t want to make me really angry! ... So, we understood each other? ... okay ...
So I was saying that then I sent the application form but I have not been considered suitable ... now if it's good or not good I don’t know, but in the end I think I would have been well there ... yes, yes ... ok, it's over this way ... all right ... well I had done it for him ... but I too somehow liked it, before I didn’t have such idea, but then, slowly ... So now Peppino goes there three times in the morning and three times in the afternoon and I stay at home ... I have to go to the municipal park to take care of cats there ... but he bought me a plastic suit ... when I come back I have to wash it right away ... you know, the hygiene! ... but now it’s me the one who takes care of cats ... and do you know how he calls me? When he comes home he tells me: “You are my handsome cat-keeper!” ... And smiles happy ... and what had we to do? But now he’s really happy ...
