I have a super lively and endearing little guy at home, and it’s my cat, Pi Dan. The days spent with it are like a living comedy full of surprises and unexpectedness, with new and interesting stories being staged every day.
Speaking of taking pictures of Pi Dan, it’s really been a difficult journey. This little guy is extremely naughty and never stops moving for a moment. Every time I happily pick up the camera, eager to capture its cute and charming moments, it seems to be deliberately opposing me, jumping up and down, and dodging around. As a result, the photos taken are either blurred or just show a fast – moving shadow, and it’s impossible to truly show its lovely appearance. I adjust the focus time and time again, but it’s still difficult to find a clear focus in its rapid movements. So much so that I’ve started to wonder if I’ve raised a “fuzzy cat”.
As time goes by, Pi Dan has another surprising change. It’s getting darker and darker. The fur that originally had some other colors is now almost completely covered by black. From a distance, it looks like a real black cat. Especially its carbon – black nose stands out even more against the black fur. However, this black cat sometimes shows a unique side. Some of its actions and expressions make me feel as if it’s a transformed owl, and its appearance is very interesting.
However, Pi Dan also has some annoying little habits. It seems to have a special “love” for the trash can. Often when I’m not paying attention, it will rummage through the trash can to “treasure – hunt”. Every time I see the trash can turned upside down by it, I’m really angry and funny at the same time, and I can’t help but call it “trash cat”. It’s also extremely greedy. As long as it sees me eating, especially delicious foods like braised pork, hand – grabbed pancakes, and roasted chicken wings, it will try every means to jump onto the table and have a taste. It even steals the milk in my cup. Once, I actually found it licking the ice – cream box I had finished. Its appearance was really cute and funny. Interestingly, every time I eat bread, it will come over eagerly, sniffing non – stop with its nose, and its eyes are full of anticipation. That cute look makes it impossible for me to resist. But strangely, no matter what brand of catnip I buy for it, it shows no interest at all, as if it’s completely indifferent to something that other cats are crazy about. This also made me suspect for a while whether it’s a “fake cat”.
What’s more frustrating is that as a cat, Pi Dan doesn’t know how to bury its feces. Every time it finishes pooping, I have to rush to clean it up, otherwise the smell is really unbearable. However, it also has some cute little hobbies. It likes to climb to the top of my mosquito net and play there. Sometimes, when it’s having fun, it will crawl inside the mosquito net. Several times in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt something hitting me. It turned out to be Pi Dan, the clumsy cat. Its impact not only startled me but also tore my mosquito net. Now the mosquito net can’t keep mosquitoes away at all, which makes me very depressed. Moreover, it seems to have some intentions towards my myna bird. It always circles around the myna’s cage and has scratched the screen window and curtain.
With the change of seasons, Pi Dan is also constantly changing. On December 21, 2017, winter arrived, and it gradually became fatter. Its whole body was like a mallet. And it became darker and darker, which made me laugh and cry at the same time, and I felt a bit helpless. By June 7, 2018, it became even darker and also had an air of dominance. Sometimes I even wonder whether it’s a girl or not. Now it loves going out for walks, but it’s extremely timid. As soon as it sees a stranger, it immediately hugs my thigh. Recently, to my surprise, it learned the two skills of shaking hands and sitting down. It mastered them in just three days, which really touched me, the “old father”. But I also found that usually it deliberately pretends to be deaf and dumb and resists my commands. Only when it’s in a good mood will it obediently listen. However, when it launches a cute attack on me, all my troubles will disappear in an instant, and I only feel that this little guy is the most precious treasure in my life.
