I have a Siamese cat named Quan Neng at home. While it truly brings endless joy to my life, when it comes to its flaws, there are indeed a few little “quirks” that make me feel a mix of love and helplessness. Now, let me secretly “complain” about them.
The most hilarious thing about Quan Neng is its overly clingy personality. Its clinginess isn’t the soft and cute kind; instead, it insists on getting involved in everything you do. When I’m having a meal, it’s like a little supervisor, sitting beside me and staring at me longingly. I tell it, “Quan Neng, you can’t eat this.” But it still looks at me with its eyes full of anticipation. I hold the food in front of it, let it have a sniff, and emphasize again, “Remember this smell, you can’t eat it.” Yet, it still stares at me persistently, only looking away reluctantly when I put the food in my mouth.
However, as soon as I rest my chopsticks in the bowl, it immediately turns its gaze back to me, as if every time I pick up food is a new hope. I can’t help but wonder, there’s no difference between this piece of food and the last one, so why does it keep looking at me like that? No matter how many times I reject it, it never gives up, as if convinced that with enough perseverance, it will eventually get a taste. Around the house, it follows me everywhere, like my little shadow. And it’s not shy at all, getting along well with everyone. Once, a friend stayed at my place for the night. It was the first time Quan Neng met this person, but at night, it actually slept right on the person’s face. Its overly friendly and clingy nature is both exasperating and endearing.
Besides being clingy, Quan Neng’s appearance is also extremely variable, a true “mysterious transformation.” Looking at its photos from when it was just over two months old, with that small and adorable appearance and delicate features, it was simply a beauty in the cat world, making anyone who saw it instantly smitten. But looking at it now, I can’t help but ask, “Hey, who are you?” Even if I try taking photos from different angles, I can’t recapture that former cuteness. The way it used to sleep was so peaceful and charming, like a little angel. Now, in the same sleeping basket, it sleeps in such a carefree and unrestrained manner, with all its former elegance gone. It makes me sigh and wonder what on earth the passage of time has done to it. Its appearance changes are like an unknown adventure; you never know what it will look like the next time you see it.
Although Quan Neng has these “head – scratching” little “quirks,” in my heart, they have all become part of its unique charm. Its clinginess is a sign of its dependence and trust in me, and its variable appearance adds a lot of surprises and fun to my life. Every moment spent with it has become a precious memory. Perhaps it’s precisely these imperfections that make Quan Neng a one – of – a – kind existence and allow me to deeply appreciate the joy and happiness of cat – raising. In the days to come, I will still be by Quan Neng’s side, tolerating its little “quirks” and looking forward to creating more interesting and warm stories with it.
