There is a dispute on the compound over whether the cat population should be tolerated - in which case it's OK to feed them, pet them, give them their shots, etc, because it's good for morale among a community that rarely sees anything other than the inside of their offices or the cramped and dark interiors of their hooches - or abolish them because they are "disease vectors." The high levels of management would like to get rid of the cats, and their feelings only intensified after Mr. Winkie went on his procreative streak. The overwhelming majority of individuals are in the former camp, and so outside office and residential hooches alike you'll find bowls of food and water set out for the cats. Given that no one, officially, has a pet here, the sales of cat food are astronomical. As you can see in the second photo, Christmas decorations aren't exactly lavish here either, and there's just not much you can do to jazz up a sandbag.
