As time slips by quietly, I’ve already spent a year in the wonderful world of cat – raising. This journey, starting from the encounter with 77 and extending to the arrival of 66, is filled with warmth and surprises, and every moment has become the most precious memory in my life.
My first meeting with 77 was by chance while browsing on Xianyu. The short distance in the same city brought our fates closer. When I entered that young lady’s home, I was immediately drawn to 77. This little male cat, born on August 2nd, seemed sturdy and steady at that time, with bright eyes that seemed to hide the stars and the sea. I decided right away that he was the cat I was looking for. In the week after returning home, I carefully selected various necessities like cat litter, cat litter boxes, and cat bowls on Taobao, eagerly looking forward to the arrival of Friday night. Finally, on October 25th, I brought 77 home.
77’s adaptability exceeded my expectations. As soon as he entered the house, he skillfully used the cat litter box. After carefully exploring the house, he fell asleep peacefully in my arms that night. As a person with a touch of cleanliness, I didn’t want him on the bed at first. But looking at his cute face, all my principles crumbled instantly. Although I still insist on not letting him get into the quilt, I spread a small blanket for him on the bed, which is my last bit of “stubbornness.”
As we spent more time together, 77’s personality became more and more distinct. He especially loves to stare at me. Whether I’m busy working at the desk or reading quietly on the sofa, I can always feel his intense gaze. Sometimes, he squats beside me, tilting his little head and looking at me intently, as if carefully studying my every move. Other times, he quietly sneaks up to me and gently rubs his little head against my hand, acting coquettishly to ask for a stroke. With his rich expressions, he has become the “king of memes” in our home. All those funny moments have been captured by my camera one by one. On 77’s first birthday, I held a grand birthday party for him, preparing delicious cat food cans and delicate little cakes. Watching him happily enjoy the food, my heart was filled with happiness.
And on the first anniversary of bringing 77 home, October 25th, a new member joined our family – 66, a little Ragdoll cat. This gentle little female cat has injected new vitality into our lives. At first, I worried that the two cats wouldn’t get along, but unexpectedly, they got familiar with each other quickly. Now, 77 and 66 get along very well. They play together, chase each other, and also snuggle up and sleep peacefully side by side. Seeing them grow up healthily and happily, I truly feel the endless joy that cat – raising brings.
This year of raising cats has made me deeply understand that cat – raising is not only a source of fun but also a heavy responsibility. Every little life deserves to be treated with care. From daily diet and living to health care, every detail cannot be ignored. Whether it’s 77 or 66, they both give me the purest love and companionship in their unique ways. In the days to come, I look forward to creating more beautiful memories with them and moving forward together on this journey of cat – filled love and warmth.
