Bringing My Cat “Wagahai” Home: A Labor of Love
There’s no way around it. Once I met him, I just couldn’t let go. Last year, right after moving, my roommate suggested getting a cat. We found a girl online who said she couldn’t keep her cat and was looking for someone to adopt it. So, we brought it home. He has a rather big…

It wasn’t I who chose it; rather, it was the cat that chose me. On August 15th, 2017, in Hangzhou, the night was pitch – black, with howling winds, flashing lightning, and pounding rain. It was already past 11 p.m. when I got home, completely drenched like a soaked monkey. As I opened the door…

Fated Adoption: From a Pitiable Kitten to a Cherished Feline Companion
So, in that narrow elevator, we had a profound discussion about whether we should keep the cat. I’ve always adhered to the principle that once I decide to keep a pet, I’ll never abandon it. Therefore, I’ve always been very cautious. If the conditions aren’t right, I definitely won’t take on the responsibility. The reality…

My Unexpected but Adorable Companion: Brain – flower the Cat
I’ve always been eager to have a cat because I think cats can meet the need for a sense of dependence of a socially – awkward home – bound person like me, and at the same time, they won’t pester me (since cats are usually aloof). So, when I saw someone in my WeChat Moments…
