As a novice cat owner, I couldn’t resist sharing my experiences with my beloved Siamese cat, Kiwi, while she’s peacefully sleeping on me, oblivious to my typing. I brought Kiwi home when she was just two months old, and now, at three months, I’ve witnessed her rapid growth and an explosion of playful, sometimes exasperating, energy.
One of the most striking traits of Kiwi is her remarkable ability to hold a grudge. Just the other day, she was playing with my makeup box, pushing it into a corner where it got stuck. My boyfriend, in a moment of frustration, called her stupid and clumsy. Little did he know that this seemingly innocent comment would trigger a swift retaliation. In a flash, Kiwi darted towards him and scratched his ankle before scurrying away. It was as if she understood every word and was determined to avenge the insult. Her vengeful nature makes her a feisty little fighter, always ready to defend her “honor.”
Kiwi is also quite the moody diva. When my boyfriend and I go out for dinner after work and return home a bit late, instead of greeting us at the door with excitement, she sits on the sofa, staring coldly. Her meows are long, drawn – out, and low – pitched, as if she’s scolding us for our tardiness. And when she makes a mistake and I scold her, she sulks, walking to the corner of the sofa and turning her back on me. Sometimes, she’ll even throw a sidelong glance my way, as if giving me a disapproving look. It’s both hilarious and endearing, making me realize that this little furball has a big personality.
Another challenge I face with Kiwi is her love for biting. I’ve tried various methods to correct this behavior. I’ve splashed water on her when she bites, put on the cone she hates the most, and even shouted at her, but nothing seems to work. It’s like she has a short – term memory, forgetting the punishment within seconds and going right back to her biting ways. I’m at my wits’ end and would greatly appreciate any advice from experienced cat owners.
She follows me around like a shadow, walking so close that every step becomes a challenge. I have to be extra careful not to step on her, but she often mistakes my cautious movements for play and jumps up to bite my feet. It’s a constant struggle, but I can’t help but smile at her innocent and affectionate gestures. Her clinginess shows just how much she loves and depends on me, and despite the occasional annoyance, it warms my heart.
She’s a bundle of contradictions – vengeful yet loving, moody yet affectionate, and mischievous yet adorable. Every day with her is an adventure, filled with laughter, frustration, and an overwhelming sense of love. As a new cat owner, I’m learning that these so – called “缺点” are what make the journey of cat – parenting so rewarding and unforgettable.
