This Siamese cat, only two months and four days old, with its boundless energy and unique “personality”, has set off “little storms” in my life, plunging me into a complex mix of love and “hate”.
Peanut seems to have inexhaustible energy, scurrying around the house and entertaining itself every day. It’s like a tireless little explorer, curious about every corner of the house. Sometimes, when I get home from work and open the door, I suddenly find it “ambushing” me at the door. Its bright eyes are fixed on me, and when I least expect it, it suddenly jumps out and hugs my leg. When I walk, it follows closely, occasionally stretching out its little paws to grab my trouser legs, as if regarding me as the “prey” in its hunting game. It’s keen on playing hunting tricks with me, suddenly rushing out from a corner and pouncing on me. Although I know this is just its way of playing, when its sharp claws scratch me painfully, even drawing blood, a wave of annoyance rises in my heart, and I regret buying it.
Peanut also loves to climb. Bookshelves and wardrobes at home – anywhere it thinks it can conquer – have witnessed its “adventures”. Whenever I try to stop it from doing something dangerous or forbid it from going to certain places, it always does as it pleases. The more I forbid it, the more determined it is to do it. Every time I scold it, it looks completely indifferent, with its round eyes looking at me as if provoking, “What can you do about it?”
However, Peanut has a “deadly weapon” – its extremely cute and soft meows. Whenever I’m angry because of being scratched by it or irritated by its naughtiness, all my dissatisfaction and grievances vanish instantly as soon as I hear its soft cries. Looking into its innocent and lovely eyes, I simply can’t bear to give it away. I’m worried that others won’t tolerate its naughtiness, or may even dislike it and abandon it. After looking up online, I understand that most Siamese cats at this age are so active and wild. In its original family, Peanut needed to fight with its siblings and learn hunting skills from its parents. These experiences are deeply ingrained in it, and perhaps it doesn’t even realize that its actions can hurt me.
As time goes by, Peanut has grown up a bit, but it still retains its unique “personality”. Although it still plays tricks from time to time, I find myself increasingly unable to part with it. When it quietly snuggles up beside me, rubbing its little head against my hand; when it lies beside me quietly while I read or work; when it looks at me with those clear eyes, waves of love well up in my heart.
Peanut is like a lovable and “hateful” little devil, teaching me tolerance and understanding in its own way. Its presence has made my life far from ordinary, full of surprises and unexpected moments. I know that in the days to come, we will have more stories. Whether it’s naughty or well – behaved, I will always be by its side, because it has long become an indispensable part of my life.
