She makes me love her deeply, yet often brings countless “little troubles.” When it comes to ease of raising, she indeed has her worry – free aspects. But when it comes to difficulties, her overly abundant energy and mischievous nature can really be a headache.
Tangyuan has an excellent physical constitution. Since she came to my home, except for a bout of gastroenteritis when she was one year old, she has rarely been ill. Such outstanding health is quite rare among cats. Moreover, Siamese cats are not prone to obesity and don’t develop prominent cheek muscles, and Tangyuan is no exception. She always maintains a slender and agile figure, moving as nimbly as a little “ninja.” What’s more, she has a gentle temperament and an impeccable good nature. Even when scolded for her naughtiness, she never holds a grudge, always looking at me with those innocent big eyes as if saying, “I know I’m wrong, but I’ll do it again next time.”
However, Tangyuan’s “other side” leaves me both helpless and amused. The unique biological clock of Siamese cats is vividly demonstrated in her. During the day, she’s like a “sleeping beauty,” lazily curled up in a corner, sound asleep and reluctant to move no matter how I tease her. But as night falls, she switches to “rampage mode,” transforming into a tireless “little madcap.” She leaps around the house, jumping from the sofa to the bed, then from the bed to the windowsill. Everywhere she goes, the sofa, bed sheets, and curtains are no match for her “claws,” left with countless scratches. The most hilarious and exasperating thing is that when I’m fast asleep, if I accidentally expose even a bit of my foot sole, she pounces like a hunter spotting its prey, quickly reaching out with her paw. That sudden touch can jolt me awake from my dream in an instant, and the feeling is truly indescribable.
Tangyuan’s clinginess is beyond imagination, and her personality is incredibly similar to that of a dog. Once she’s tired from playing, she’ll unhesitatingly lie on my chest to sleep. Her weight often makes it hard for me to catch my breath, but even so, feeling her warm little body and even breathing softens my heart. On ordinary days, as long as I’m at home, she follows me around like a shadow. When I go to the bathroom, she either squats on my lap or stands guard at the door. When I wash my hair, she crouches on the washing machine, watching me intently. Even when I want to play computer quietly, she won’t let me off the hook, jumping on the keyboard and nibbling on the data cable from time to time, determined to get my attention.
Tangyuan is also a master at getting into trouble, creating “minor disasters” every now and then. She either knocks things off the table or secretly drinks from my water cup when I’m not looking. Even if I scold her sternly or give her a light spank, she doesn’t care at all. In a blink of an eye, she forgets the “lesson” and goes back to her mischief.
But there’s no denying that Tangyuan has become an indispensable part of my life. Although she brings many “headaches,” it’s precisely these unique quirks that fill our days with extraordinary fun. Siamese cats only recognize one owner in their lifetime. If abandoned, they may even die of depression. This one – of – a – kind dependence makes me more determined to take good care of her. Now, Tangyuan has gained quite a few fans on Douyin, more popular than her own owner. Seeing everyone’s love for her, I feel incredibly proud. If you’re thinking about getting a Siamese cat, be fully prepared to embrace this sweet yet challenging “little happiness.”
