In the world of pet cats, appearance is often regarded as an important criterion for measuring the value of a cat. However, for many cat lovers, what really matters may not be those established appearance rules, but the wonderful connection by fancy with the cats. My experience of raising a cat deeply confirms this.
I remember that when I first stepped into the cattery, I knew nothing about the appearance of cats. At that time, I was just looking around with an in – vestigative mindset, hesitating between British Shorthair and American Shorthair. I thought I would first learn about them and then decide on the breed of the new member of my family. However, the arrangement of fate is always so wonderful. When I entered the cattery, my eyes were instantly attracted by a little cat. It just stayed quietly in the cage, but it seemed to have a special magic that made me walk towards it involuntarily. At that moment, I knew that we had a mutual connection by fancy.
The shopkeeper told me that this little cat had the highest price because its fur was as white as snow and its nose was pink and lovely. Compared with its siblings in the same cage, the price was 500 to 1000 yuan more expensive. At that time, I was completely conquered by the charm of this little cat. My heart and eyes were full of its cuteness, and I had no time to care about the price at all. I only felt that it was the cat I had been looking for, my destined partner. So, without hesitation, I took out my wallet and brought it home for 3700 yuan, which was beyond my budget.
However, as time passed, reality gave me a small blow. When I began to deeply understand the knowledge of cat appearance and read various related posts, I realized that I had indeed spent a lot of money unjustly when I bought it. What made me even more disappointed was that although I tried various methods, it still failed to develop jowls as I expected and have a round and lovely bun – like face. Now, looking at its slightly pointed chin, I can’t help but feel a little regretful. The little bun – like face I had expected seems to be getting further and further away.
But even so, whenever I see its smart eyes, see it running happily in the room, and see its cute appearance when it acts coquettishly, the love in my heart will surge instantly. It will run to the door to greet me as soon as I get home from work, rubbing its soft body against my legs; it will jump onto the sofa and snuggle in my arms when I am sitting on the sofa, quietly accompanying me to watch TV. Every move of it can make me feel its dependence and love for me.
Looking back on the moment when I met it, I understand that the connection by fancy is a wonderful feeling that cannot be described in words. It has nothing to do with price or appearance, but just a spiritual fit. Although its current appearance may not meet my initial expectations for its appearance, it has occupied my heart in a unique way. In my eyes, it is still the most beautiful and lovely kitten. Perhaps, this is the charm of raising a cat. While we are looking forward to the growth of the cat, we are also establishing a deep emotional connection with it. This emotion far exceeds the external appearance and price and becomes the most precious part of our lives. I believe that in the days to come, no matter what it looks like, we will always accompany each other and spend countless beautiful times together.
