she or he will miss you

Emotionally, she won't miss me (luckily) because I don't see her every day (I leave the food by the hotel entrance) and she doesn't allow me to stroke her (timid, untamed). That's very good because an abandoned house kitty is a very sad story. As for dependence on the food provided by me, a couple of days ago I saw her proudly walking with a mouse in her mouth. So... she'll be fine. She is having kittens (a local told me) so... my support was very timely.

I also think that my kindness taught her that the world doesn't always want to kill her. Maybe, this is overthinking, but I believe cats can understand this: when everyone tries to kick them, they feel hated (extremely low-ranked), so having a friend makes them feel more confident and happy, even after the friend disappears. Of course, they also have the cat world and cat relationships, but cats are empathic and inter-species communicators, so they never completely ignore the attitude of humans, dogs, monkeys, etc, they live among.
