For instance, when you give to a cat "food". He/she eats it near you,In fact, when, he/she steals something from you - He/she immediately takes off with what does not belongs to her/him.
Is he/she trying to escape some type of punishment from you. Or perhaps, does not want to take chances with you to stare at her/him while he/she eating some thing that does not belong to her/him .If a such thing happens like that; We must understand : First of all,he/she did it because she was very despaired to eat in -order to stay alive! After all she is an animal. So, therefore...
My bottom line is: We should forgive one-another,and yet, we should be more merciful _That way: God will look out for us and give us more. Please try to protect your valuables thing from unauthorized user That way; We will be able to motivate those who have been lazy.So, they will honor them selves with their owns money and stop expecting from others. God is the one who created every thing and he has more power

Are you talking about an animal or a person? Did the cat steal the food and run away or did a person? If you have issues relating what you think God would want you to do, seek counsel with a clergy. If you are suggesting that people insure and protect their valuables based on the theft of cat food, I'm not sure this is the proper category. Is this a question? It's incomprehensible to me; this might belong in the ANIMAL/PET category. Or religion.

We need to re-examine our motivations constantly. To be merciful so that God will give us more? Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that God will grant us with more for loyal service (Job, for example). The rewards are in The Kingdom, not here.
The second observation is that while food is from God, money itself is man made. And high paying jobs can often be tempting even if the means are immoral and/or illegal. Very few with very little are lazy. There is a prevalent "working poor" and working homeless that strive to survive by legal means. Many who have minimum wage employment work hard and long for little respect and money, and still require some sort assistance in order to put food on the table.
Giving to your church, to UNICEF, the United Way, the Salvation Army or Goodwill, or local food bank or soup kitchen aids people who desperately need it. Most are not lazy--some are honestly ill or disabled or in some other way disadvantaged.
Not everyone is motivated by sin itself, like greed or sloth, but by survival. A large part of mercy is empathy and compassion. To believe that the poor are somehow at fault and are deserving of their situation is almost comforting.
But that is simply not the truth.
P.S. Cats operate on a predator instinct. People have conscious choice. Biiiig difference.

I agree with "red1967", but what about the cat? I think they sometimes want something to covet of the person that is helping/feeding them.

I agree with you that we should protect all our stuff. God gave us the ability and the way to have the things we have so we should be thankful for what he gave us.

When the cat's away, the mice will play.
