In the world of pets, Siamese cats attract many cat owners with their unique charm. However, after I brought a three – month – old Siamese cat into my home, I truly understood what it means to “know what it’s like to worry once you start raising it.”
This little guy is like a lively “little trouble.” This Siamese cat seems to have inexhaustible energy, jumping up and down every day as if the house is his “adventure park.” The top of the wardrobe, the curtain rods, and the high shelves all bear the marks of his exploration. He especially loves to rummage through things, and nothing escapes his attention, whether it’s quilts or clothes. When the clothes I’ve just folded are scattered in a mess and the neatly made bed is all messed up by him, the helplessness in my heart is beyond words.
What’s more frustrating is his “biting” problem. My mom and I have been bitten by him three times in a short period. Every time I reach out to pet him, he suddenly opens his small mouth and takes a gentle bite. Although he doesn’t use all his strength, this behavior is still a bit scary. Once, I just wanted to comb his fur, but he treated my hand as a toy and bit it hard, making me wince in pain.
In addition to being naughty, this Siamese cat is also in poor health. Soon after arriving home, he suffered from ringworm, and the fur on his face fell off, revealing patches of unsightly skin. Seeing him uncomfortable, I felt extremely distressed and had to apply medicine to him every day and take care of him carefully. However, before the ringworm fully recovered, he got feline herpesvirus (rhinotracheitis), coughing, sniffling, and looking listless all day. During that time, my family and I almost devoted all our energy to taking care of him, taking him to the vet, and following the doctor’s orders to feed him medicine and nurse him. When he was sick all over, I really felt on the verge of a breakdown.
But the Siamese cat also has an irresistibly cute side. When he calms down, his bright big eyes seem to hold a sea of stars, gazing at you gently, instantly melting your heart. Occasionally, he will lie obediently at your feet, purring softly, enjoying your caresses. Once, he squatted aside and seriously peeked at my aunt’s hamster taking a bath. His focused and curious look made the whole family burst into laughter. And when he bit off the branches of my mom’s flowers, looking at his innocent and confused eyes, all my anger disappeared in an instant.
This Siamese cat is like a flavor enhancer in life. Although he brings a lot of trouble, he also adds endless fun to our lives. His naughtiness and his lovely coquettishness have become an indispensable part of our lives. Despite the hardships in taking care of him, whenever I see him healthy and lively, all the efforts are worth it. He is the “little trouble” that makes me feel both love and hate, and he is the unique treasure in our family. In the days to come, we will still accompany him through more times filled with both joy and challenges.
