Quarantine Cat

Most tenants don’t try to pet me anymore. There’s been a lot of ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ in terms of whether I can be carrying the virus or not. But really, I’d rather they don’t. Pet me, that is. Some of them have continued to try to feed me. But I’m not sure what’s on that food or where it’s coming from, who’s touched it, breathed on it. 

Normally, I’d be in and out of backyards in the neighbourhood, but now people are always just sitting there, home all day. Quarantine, isolation, lockdown. A lot of names for staying at home. The cats who live with them, what are their thoughts on this?
