In the pet world of my home, the Siamese cat Didi is undoubtedly the most distinctive and the one that makes people love and feel “headache” at the same time. It is like a small sun full of energy, bringing countless joys and stories to our lives with its unique charm and endless vitality.
Didi seems to be a “late bloomer” among Siamese cats. Since we live in a hot area in the south, it didn’t go into heat until it was ten months old. Interestingly, this “awakening of love” was triggered by a stray female cat. At that time, Didi, who was usually quiet, kept meowing non – stop, and its eager appearance seemed to be expressing the restlessness in its heart. However, this “love storm” was quickly “nipped in the bud.” On the day it went into heat, we took it for sterilization. Now, Didi has completely let go of “love affairs” and only focuses on enjoying its carefree days of eating and drinking every day.
The most prominent feature of Didi is its excessive energy. Once set free, it immediately transforms into a “parkour master,” dashing around every corner of the house. If it can’t see anyone for a while, it will shout loudly, as if protesting against the owner’s “neglect.” Its clinginess is beyond imagination. Whenever it sees someone lying on the bed, it will run over without hesitation and press heavily on them. Weighing nine pounds, it just happens to press on the heart position. Its “enthusiastic” way of seeking petting often makes people feel both helpless and amused. Because of this, Didi has a high demand for companionship. For those who are often away from home all day, they really need to think twice before raising it, as it desires the owner’s attention and companionship so much.
There is also an old cat that we have raised for seven years at home. Didi is always eager to play with it. Unfortunately, the age gap makes their “friendship” a bit bumpy. Didi plays without restraint and is very crazy, while the old cat is quite disgusted with this and sometimes “hisses” at it to show dissatisfaction. However, Didi has a big heart and has no jealousy at all. Even if we interact closely with the old cat and play together, it won’t be gloomy but still enjoy itself happily.
Didi’s “foodie” nature is even more remarkable. It is completely non – picky and eats almost everything. Radishes and vegetables are delicious in its eyes. For this reason, my dad jokingly calls it the “little trash,” teasing that it’s the one who “collects trash.” Among all the foods, its favorite is noodles. In order to steal noodles, it always tries every means, so we have to carefully cover all the food. When playing, Didi also makes people love and “fear” it. It often doesn’t know how to control its strength and likes to jump on people suddenly. That unexpected “attack,” coupled with its chubby body, really makes me worry that one day I might be “stepped on flat” by it.
Different from other Siamese cats, Didi is not talkative and doesn’t like to meow. Even when it’s hungry and the cat food isn’t refilled in time, it endures silently and never reminds us by meowing. This sometimes causes me to accidentally forget about it when I’m busy with things. However, Didi has a very irritable temper. Since there are no screens on the windows at home, to prevent it from running away, we have to tie it up at night. But as soon as night comes, Didi is like a wild horse and is extremely difficult to catch. Once caught, it will lose its temper and let out sharp screams, which completely subvert my perception that cats only “meow.”
Although Didi has such “little problems,” in our hearts, it has long become an indispensable member of the family. Its vitality, enthusiasm, gluttony, and irritability make it unique. The days spent with it are filled with laughter, helplessness, and more importantly, full of warmth and happiness. Didi has left a deep mark on our lives in its own way and has become our most precious heartwarming companion.
