People often talk about their Siamese cats, but I sometimes feel like I’m raising a “Siamese pig” rather than a cat. Just take a look at its round, plump face – it’s so chubby that it’s almost comical. Despite its rather rotund appearance, this feline has stolen my heart completely, with its unique blend of endearing qualities and amusing quirks.
One of the things I cherish most about Xingxing is its clinginess. I firmly believe that having a clingy cat is a blessing, and Xingxing proves this point perfectly. It loves to be by my side at all times, especially when it’s time to sleep. Every night, it makes its way to my bed and snuggles up right next to my pillow. Its head gently presses against mine, as if seeking comfort and warmth from my presence. This simple act of closeness fills me with a sense of peace and happiness, making me feel truly loved and needed.
However, like all cats, Xingxing has its fair share of flaws. Its temper is quite fiery, and it has an astonishingly strong sense of revenge. If something upsets it during the day, it won’t hesitate to get back at me in the most unexpected way. For instance, on several occasions, when it was angry, it would face my direction and let out a rather pungent fart right in my face at night. It’s a rather unpleasant experience, to say the least, but it’s also a testament to its feisty personality. And as many Siamese cat owners know, these cats can have a bit of an odor about them, which only adds to the “charm” of Xingxing’s revenge tactics. What’s even more frustrating is that punishing it doesn’t seem to change its behavior. No matter how many times I scold it or give it a gentle tap, it remains unapologetically stubborn and will continue to seek its own form of “justice” when it feels wronged.
Another characteristic that sets Xingxing apart is its tendency to “darken” over time. Siamese cats are known for their color – changing ability, and Xingxing is no exception. Fortunately, it didn’t start darkening from its face first, sparing it from looking overly strange too soon. Looking back at the photos of Xingxing when it was a kitten, the contrast with its current appearance is quite striking. Its once – light fur has gradually taken on a darker hue, but somehow, it still manages to look adorable. The color change has added an extra layer of uniqueness to its appearance, making it even more special in my eyes.
Xingxing also has a bit of a picky appetite. There are times when it turns its nose up at certain foods, leaving me scratching my head as I try to figure out what it would like to eat. But even with this flaw, I can’t help but love it. Each of its quirks, whether it’s its clinginess, its fiery temper, its color – changing fur, or its picky eating habits, contributes to its one – of – a – kind personality.
In the end, despite all the challenges and the occasional annoyance, Xingxing is an irreplaceable part of my life. It brings me joy, laughter, and countless precious memories every day. Its flaws are what make it who it is, and I wouldn’t trade it for any other cat in the world. My “Siamese pig,” with its round face and unique personality, will always hold a special place in my heart.
