In the world of pets, my life changed the moment I brought home my Siam cat, Er Mao. The decision to raise a Siam cat was rather impulsive. I was browsing through pet information online one day, and before I knew it, I was head over heels for these charming felines. Without much hesitation, I took the plunge and welcomed Er Mao into my life.
When Er Mao first arrived home, she was like a little explorer in a new world. Her big, curious eyes scanned every corner of the house, filled with a mix of confusion and excitement. At 45 days old, she was incredibly tiny, a fragile little ball of fur. Unfortunately, not long after she came home, she caught a cold. Her appetite vanished, and she would only nibble on a tiny bit of canned food. Worried sick, I rushed her to the vet, where she received her first round of injections. Looking at her small, shivering body at the hospital, my heart ached. She was so vulnerable, and I felt a strong sense of responsibility to take care of her.
Just as she was starting to recover from the cold, another setback hit. But I was determined not to let this get her down. We went through rounds of treatment, and day by day, I watched her slowly regain her health.
Once Er Mao was back in full swing, her true personality emerged, and it was a wild ride. She turned into a complete goofball, constantly on the go, and her clinginess reached new heights. She would follow me around the house like a shadow, meowing loudly whenever she wanted my attention. If I sat down for even a moment, she would jump onto my lap, demanding to be petted and played with. Her favorite phrase seemed to be “look at me, what are you going to do about it?” as she would give me that feisty stare.
One of her more amusing habits was her fascination with the bathwater. I would often find her stealthily approaching the bathtub, her eyes fixed on the water. Before I knew it, she would be taking a little sip, as if she had discovered a hidden treasure. It was both gross and endearing at the same time.
On the morning after she had a good night’s sleep, she was at her most adorable. I would wake up to her cute little face, and when I started to play with her, she would show off her silly side, pouncing on toys and rolling around on the floor.
The day I decided to give her a bath was a memorable one. To my surprise, she was incredibly well – behaved. After the bath, as she dried off, she looked like a little princess, her fur sleek and shiny. I couldn’t resist taking a bunch of pictures to commemorate the occasion.
Er Mao also proved to be quite brave. The first time I took her outside for a walk, I was worried she might be scared. But to my delight, she strutted around with confidence, not showing an ounce of fear. She was eager to explore the outside world, her nose twitching as she took in all the new scents.
When she was a kitten, her cuteness knew no bounds. She would constantly seek my hugs, stretching her little paws up towards me. Her first encounter with the litter box was a milestone. She was so curious, sniffing around and eventually figuring out what to do. And even when it came to using the toilet, she didn’t want to be left out. She would follow me into the bathroom, as if she wanted to be part of every aspect of my life.
There was even a time when a friend, who fancied themselves a bit of an artist, drew a picture of Er Mao. It was a rather interesting interpretation, capturing her unique charm in a somewhat comical way.
Looking back on these memories, I realize that adopting Er Mao was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She has brought so much laughter, love, and chaos into my life. Despite the initial challenges, every moment with her is a precious gift, and I can’t wait to create more memories with my wonderful Siam cat.
