I still remember the moment when I first brought Andimeo home. With its elegant posture and vivid eyes, it was just like a prince with extraordinary charm, captivating me instantly. That’s why I gave it this name full of romance and nobility. From that day on, it became an indispensable part of my life, leaving a deep mark on my heart with its unique ways.
When Andimeo was a kitten, its clinginess was both endearing and a bit overwhelming. Wherever I went, it would follow closely. It could even climb up my pant legs and sit firmly on my shoulders as if that was its exclusive throne. Perhaps it lacked a sense of security as a kitten, always calling out to me with its clear voice. Sometimes, the constant meowing could be a bit of a headache, but whenever I looked into its eyes longing for companionship, all my annoyance would vanish.
The strong curiosity typical of Siamese cats was fully manifested in Andimeo. It was curious about everything in the world, especially the food in my hands. No matter what I was eating, it seemed like a delicacy to it, and it had to come over and check it out. It would stretch out its small paws, gently hook the food, and bring it to its nose to sniff carefully. Its serious expression often made me burst into laughter. At first, it wasn’t picky and would eat anything, but gradually, this little guy became more and more particular. It only favored nutritional paste and tenderloin, treating cat food as an occasional snack.
Andimeo also had a silly kind of cuteness. It was extremely fond of playing with its own tail, chasing it around in circles without getting tired. Watching it get dizzy but still persevere, I couldn’t help but call it a “silly cat,” but my tone was filled with nothing but affection. As it grew older, our interactions became more and more fun. It loved playing games with me, like hide – and – seek and fetching paper balls. During hide – and – seek, it always liked to hide in the cabinet, while I would hide outside, waiting to surprise it when it cautiously poked its head out. Every time, it would be so startled that it would stand up and hug my leg tightly. Its panicked yet adorable look was so funny. In the fetching game, I would throw a paper ball, and it would dash out like an arrow, pick it up with its mouth, and bring it back, repeating the process over and over again without getting bored.
However, life is not always smooth sailing. Recently, Andimeo unfortunately caught a cold. Seeing it suffer made my heart ache. I carefully applied eye drops to it every day, hoping it would get better soon. But fate can be so unpredictable. On April 11th, Andimeo left this world forever. At that moment, my world seemed to collapse. All the precious memories of our time together came flooding back. The reluctance I felt every morning when I had to leave for work while it watched, the joy of it jumping onto my shoulders while I was cooking at night, all became memories that could never be repeated.
Although Andimeo is gone, the warmth and happiness it brought me will remain in my heart forever. It was more than just a pet; it was my closest companion and a bright spot in my life. I will always cherish the memory of it – the clingy, curious, silly, and adorable Andimeo. Its image will be forever engraved in the deepest part of my memory, a lasting warmth in my life.
