I have always been someone who strongly dislikes seeing answers on Zhihu that are accompanied by a large number of pictures, especially those of the same type that don’t really serve to convey new information. It’s so frustrating to have to scroll through them for a long time with the mouse wheel. And I’m also that kind of person with a cold demeanor who doesn’t like children and tends to be a bit of a loner. I used to be completely unable to understand why people would show off their children’s photos.
However, when I came across a particular answer related to a cat, something changed within me. I suddenly found myself empathizing with those answerers and also with the young parents who are eager to show others their children’s pictures. Because when it comes to something truly adorable, like my silver shaded British Shorthair, I just can’t help but want everyone to see how cute my “baby” is! I was so charmed by my cat that I could almost cry from the cuteness. It was exactly that kind of experience.
I tried to control myself and only shared one picture, but the urge to show off my cat’s charm was still strong. My silver shaded British Shorthair, also known as the clingy one, the purring monster, the good-tempered cutie, possesses all these endearing qualities, at least in my home.
Every night, as soon as the lights are turned off, it follows us into the bedroom and lies down obediently in its little nest on the bay window. In the middle of the night, it stealthily climbs onto our bed, sneaks under the covers, and sleeps right between us. It’s as if it wants to be as close to us as possible, seeking warmth and comfort.
When we watch TV in the living room, it will also accompany us on the sofa. It curls up beside us, sometimes watching the screen with a curious look in its eyes, as if it’s trying to understand what’s going on. It makes our leisure time even more enjoyable.
I often suspect that there’s actually a dog’s soul living inside my cat’s body. It goes crazy chasing after balls. It runs around the room with great enthusiasm, pouncing on the ball and batting it around. It’s so energetic and playful, just like a little puppy.
On weekdays, when I get up early in the morning to wash up, it will accompany me, even though it’s so sleepy that its eyes are barely open. It stands by my side, watching me with a drowsy yet affectionate gaze. It’s such a sweet and loyal companion.
One of the most remarkable things about my cat is its extremely good temper. I can knead and pet it however I like, and it never gets angry. It just lies there, purring contentedly, enjoying the attention. It’s so gentle and patient, making it a joy to interact with.
My silver shaded British Shorthair has truly become an important part of my life. It has changed my perspective on showing off something I love. Now I understand that when you have something so precious and adorable, the desire to share its charm with others is irresistible. It brings so much joy, warmth, and love into my life, and I’m grateful for every moment spent with this wonderful feline friend. I look forward to creating more beautiful memories with it in the future and continuing to be charmed by its unique personality.
