This is what she looked like when she was half a year old. She had already started to grow a circle of chubby fur around her neck like a scarf.
Shiyi is really extremely obedient. After I started keeping a cat, my home has become a regular cat-petting place for my surrounding friends. Because Shiyi has such a great personality. She will purr as soon as you touch her. She never extends her claws. If she doesn’t like you, at most she’ll just walk away and hide. Moreover, Shiyi rarely meows. Except for the first few days when I brought her back and she was in a new environment, and she meowed a couple of times in the living room at night, she is silent at other times. I once even suspected that this cat might be mute???
Basically, all the things that most cats hate can be done smoothly with Shiyi.
She is very well-behaved when taking a bath. At the beginning, she meows a couple of times, but when she realizes that struggling is useless, she will accept it obediently. When I took her to the pet store for a bath, it took longer than other cats. When the girl brought her out, she told me that because Shiyi was so cute and obedient, everyone in the store petted her for half an hour before giving her a bath…
She never struggles when having her nails trimmed. She can even purr while you’re trimming her nails and lick your hands. When I first started trimming her nails, because I was unfamiliar with it, I once cut into the quick and her nail tip bled. Her dad felt so kept sighing. Shiyi looked up at me and was still purring. She didn’t flash her claws or show her teeth. I really think she’s an angel cat.
She is extremely cooperative when being groomed every day. After you comb the fur on her back, she will turn over on her own so that you can comb the fur on her belly. When having her ears cleaned and teeth brushed, she is like a fake cat.
Shiyi is really a spokesperson for cat-raising. Several of my friends around me have gone to keep cats after seeing Shiyi.
This is when she was sent for spaying.
She obediently stretched out her paw to the doctor when it came to drawing blood. She watched the doctor shave the fur on her paws and give her an injection without making a sound, and she didn’t even try to hide. I had thought about how to help the doctor hold her down at home the day before, and all the postures I had designed in my mind were useless. Even the doctor said, are you not very sensitive to pain because you’re fat…
On the first night after the spaying, my husband originally said that we should probably keep the bedroom door open when we sleep tonight, because we were afraid that Shiyi’s wound would hurt in the middle of the night. I steeled myself and said that since we couldn’t let her into the bedroom, we had to stick to it, and we would go out if she meowed. I slept very lightly that night, always worried that Shiyi would feel uncomfortable somewhere. She didn’t meow at all. In the second half of the night, I also fell asleep in a daze. When I opened the door in the morning, I almost burst into tears. She was wearing an Elizabethan collar and lying obediently on the threshold stone in front of our door. She probably slept there all night, waiting for mom and dad to wake up.
She has recovered from the spaying surgery. She can eat and drink, and is growing in an expansive way.
