In my life, there is an extremely precious existence, and that is my cat. It is like a bright star, illuminating every corner of my ordinary days.
I still remember when it was over one month old, it was bought home by my sister in a pet store, starting the first journey of its life. However, the twists and turns of fate are always unexpected. Later, because my sister was pregnant, her family members were worried that the cat might have an impact on the pregnant woman and the baby and disagreed with keeping it. In this way, the future of this lovely little life became confused. Fortunately, I appeared and did not hesitate to take it over. Since then, it has become the most important partner in my life, starting a chapter full of love and warmth between us.
From the very beginning, it showed a heartbreaking obedience. When it was four months old, even if I didn’t have delicious food as a temptation, it cooperated with me very well when taking pictures. Its focused eyes seemed to tell me that as long as it was a request I made, it would try its best to meet it. Every time it was tired from playing, it would quietly look at me. The eyes were full of dependence and trust, as if I was its whole world.
It also has a little habit. Every time we go home, it insists on sitting in the front row of the car. It lies quietly on the seat, looking out of the window curiously, as if interested in the scenery along the way. Because I work on a construction site, my work is busy and my living place is not fixed. But whenever I have the opportunity to go home, even if it’s only for one day, I will definitely take it with me. I know it needs my company, and having it by my side also makes me feel the warmth of home after a tiring day at work. It is always very sensitive to the movements around. As long as it hears a little sound, it will immediately stand up and look around. Its vigilant little appearance makes people can’t help laughing. When it sleeps, it will also pose itself and find the most comfortable position, and then fall asleep peacefully, as if announcing its sense of belonging to this home to the world.
When I do skin care, it will also quietly stay by my side. It watches me apply various skin care products, with curiosity and concentration in its eyes, as if exploring a mysterious world. When I take it to get a vaccination, it also behaves very well, not resisting at all, just obediently cooperating with the doctor’s operation. However, when it comes to getting it into the cat carrier when preparing to go out, it is always uncooperative, as if it is full of fear and resistance to that small space. But once it gets in the car, it will become quiet and obediently wait for us to get home.
Although I am not its first owner, my love for it is undiminished. Every time I go home, it will come to me the moment it sees me, rubbing its soft body against my leg and making affectionate cries, as if telling me how much it misses me. It may not be cute in the traditional sense, but its character is extremely gentle. At the beginning, none of my husband’s family members liked cats. Everyone was worried about problems such as cat hair loss. However, as time passed, its cuteness and obedience gradually moved everyone in the family. Although everyone still dislikes its hair loss, out of love for it and worry that it might get lost, they still let it enter the room and even sleep on the bed.
In the days of getting along with it, I deeply experience the happiness of loving and being loved. It loves me and depends on me in its own way, and I do my best to give it love and care. I know its life is relatively short, but I only hope that in its limited life, it can be happy every day. I will always accompany it, witness every moment of its growth, and let it feel the endless warmth and love in this home. Because it is not just a cat, but an indispensable family member in my life, the most precious treasure in my life.
