In the time of raising a cat, I’ve witnessed many wonderful moments of my cat’s growth. And the color change of my tabby cat is like a documentary full of surprises and emotions.
As we all know, for many cats, getting darker in color seems to be an inevitable part of growing up, just a matter of time. Unless a cat lives in a very warm environment all the time, as it ages, its metabolic rate gradually slows down, and the body surface temperature also decreases. As a result, the fur color getting darker is almost certain.
My tabby cat showed an extreme desire for warmth from the moment it came to my home. It was naturally very concerned about keeping warm. In human terms, it was a “cold – fearing creature”. In winter, even though there was heating at home, it always liked to curl up in the warmest corners. Maybe it was precisely because of its persistent pursuit of warmth that the process of its fur color getting darker was relatively slower.
I still remember when it was a kitten, about 3 – 4 months old. Its appearance melted my heart. Its fur was fresh and bright. Every hair seemed to be carefully carved, soft and shiny. It hopped around the house like a lively little fur ball, bringing endless joy wherever it went. At that time, I never thought about how its fur color would change. I just hoped it would always stay that cute.
However, time is a magical painter, leaving unique marks on the cat quietly. As it grew older, I gradually noticed subtle changes in its fur color. The originally bright color gradually became deeper, like an ink – wash painting gradually spreading. I knew this was the mark of its growth and the manifestation of the natural law.
Now, it’s already 3 years old. Although the darkening of the fur color is inevitable, fortunately, it’s still a tabby cat, with its unique markings still remaining. Looking at its current appearance, I have both feelings of emotion about its growth and expectations for its future.
The color change of its fur makes me think about the impermanence and beauty of life. Every life is constantly changing and growing, just like the fur color of this tabby cat. Although it’s getting darker, its cuteness and gentleness have never changed. It still wags its tail to greet me when I get home from work. It still lies quietly beside me to accompany me when I’m sad.
In this fast – paced era, the cat’s growth is like a soothing song, reminding me to cherish every moment around me. I’ll continue to accompany it and witness more of its growth moments in the future. No matter how its fur color changes, it will always be the most special cat in my heart and an indispensable part of my life. I believe that in the days to come, we’ll still spend many wonderful times together. Every expression and every movement of it will become the most precious memories in my heart.
