At this moment, I’m sitting in the toilet, having come across a question about cats. Inspiration suddenly floods in, and I can’t help but write this answer. Just a second ago, a story full of fun and warmth had just unfolded.
I have a lovely Siamese cat at home. Its name is Laji, and it’s almost four months old now. Recently, I noticed that its face has started to turn a bit grayish. This made me very curious. So, at noon today, I searched a lot of questions about the coat color changes of Siamese cats on Baidu. At that time, when Laji saw me looking at a large number of cat photos on my phone, it seemed a bit jealous and kept scratching the screen of my phone with its paws. But I was so focused on looking for information at that time. While looking at the photos, I was also comparing the appearance of other Siamese cats with that of my Laji. I completely ignored its feelings and didn’t have time to soothe it. Then I hurried to work.
When I got home from work, usually as soon as Laji heard the sound of me opening the door, it would happily wait for me at the door. However, today, it was unusually quiet at home. It was lying indifferently on the computer chair, sleeping, and didn’t react to my return at all. I thought it was hungry, so I quickly went to pour cat food for it. But it didn’t even look at it. The cat food that it usually loves so much had lost its charm at this moment. Laji usually loves to sleep on the sofa very much. Whenever I sit on the sofa, it will obediently move over and lie on my lap, acting coquettishly and asking me to massage it. But today, it just stayed on the computer chair and didn’t want to move. To be honest, at that time, I still didn’t realize that it was sulking with me. I just thought it was a bit abnormal today.
I walked over, trying to coax it. I picked it up and put it on my lap, hoping it would sleep comfortably as usual. But as soon as I put it down, it immediately ran back to the computer chair. When I reached out to touch it, it even bit me. At this moment, I suddenly realized that it was throwing a tantrum. I coaxed it softly, but it still didn’t appreciate it. It ran away whenever I tried to hold it and bit me whenever I touched it. This repeated, making me a bit helpless.
Gradually, I also got a bit unhappy. I had been so patient in coaxing it, but it still bit me and refused to eat the snacks I gave it. So, I decided not to coax it anymore. I started tidying up the house angrily and deliberately ignored it. Laji seemed to sense the change in my mood. It walked back and forth in front of me, trying to attract my attention. But I still kept a straight face and pretended not to see it. Just like that, a “cold war” started between me and the cat.
After I finished tidying up the house, I took my clothes and walked into the toilet to take a shower. Usually, when I take a shower, Laji will always stay outside, keeping watch and meowing non – stop, as if it’s afraid that something might happen to me in there. I secretly looked through the crack under the door and found that it was sitting at the door, grooming its fur. However, this time it stubbornly didn’t call me. I originally wanted to pretend to cough to attract its attention. Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I accidentally knocked over a basin, making a loud noise. At that very moment, Laji immediately started meowing loudly. Its meows came one after another, full of anxiety. I quickly opened the door to let it see that I was safe and sound. At that moment, looking at its anxious appearance, my heart was filled with warmth, and my eyes became a bit moist.
Just like that, we made up. Now, I’m sitting on the toilet, and it’s keeping watch outside the toilet. Every time it meows, I have to respond. The interaction between us is full of warmth. Do you think it’s just a cat? No, in my heart, it’s more like a person, an “another me” with an arrogant and awkward personality just like me. Its presence has filled my life with surprises and touches. The bond between us has also become deeper and deeper in these daily little episodes.
