In my cozy little home, there are two special “family members” – a Chinese rural tricolor cat and a silver shaded British Shorthair kitten. Their presence has made my life colorful, filled with endless joy and surprises.
The big cat, as the “original inhabitant” of the family, perfectly embodies the typical image of a cat in people’s minds. It is lively and clever, as if it has an inexhaustible supply of energy. It always runs around in every corner of the house, full of curiosity about everything around it. It is very affectionate towards people. Whenever I get home, it will always run over the first time, rubbing against my legs and purring softly, expressing its longing and love for me. However, it also has an independent side and won’t rely on me too much. When it plays by itself, it can also enjoy itself, showing the unique elegance and calmness of a cat.
The big cat is very “disciplined” in terms of diet. It only has a preference for cat food and never covets other foods. This saves me a lot of worry, as I don’t have to worry about it getting sick from eating something it shouldn’t. However, it also has its own little temper. If I accidentally annoy it, it won’t endure it silently. Instead, it will resist and even bite me gently to express its dissatisfaction. Although its “resistance” won’t really hurt me, it also makes me understand that I should respect its emotions and feelings.
Completely different from the big cat, my silver shaded British Shorthair kitten appears relatively lazy. When I use a cat teaser to play with them, the big cat will immediately go crazy, jumping up and down and chasing the cat teaser, showing full vitality. But the kitten always lies lazily aside, looking indifferent. Even if I touch it with my hand, it is too lazy to jump up and will only move a little at most, as if it has no interest in playing at all.
However, the kitten shows a passion for “eating” that is completely different from its lazy character. It is extremely greedy and is simply a “little foodie”. I’m not sure if other silver shaded British Shorthairs are like this, but mine seems to be reincarnated as a “starving ghost” because it was never full in its previous life. Except for excrement and spicy, sour and other pungent foods, it will eat almost anything! Every time we eat, it will stare at us eagerly throughout the process, with anticipation in its eyes, as if saying, “Please give me a taste!” Sometimes, it will even reach out to grab the food directly. However, many human foods are harmful to cats and cannot be given to them casually. Occasionally, there are some foods that can be given to it to taste a little, and it will immediately pounce on them like a little pig and gobble them up.
These two cats with distinct personalities often make me laugh and cry, but they also bring me a lot of warmth and touch. Their company has made my life more fulfilling and meaningful. In the process of getting along with them, I have gradually learned how to take better care of them and understand their needs. I cherish every moment spent with them and hope to always accompany them, witness their growth, and spend more wonderful times together.
