The story of my association with cats

It had never occurred to me before that I would like cats, let alone keep them.

Speaking of cats, I may have only heard about it before, I haven't really seen it, and I haven't even seen a real cat before 2019, but I have learned about it from TV or books. Stray cats have only heard the bark.

One day from a friend's WeChat circle of friends to see received a small pet, white is very cute, to really think that it is a small dog, indeed know too little about such a small animal. After two days just went to a friend's house, when locked in a cage, I know a good small one, only 3 months, at the beginning did not dare to touch it, I felt cute, after two or three months of bar and then went to grow up a lot, will run around at home, the real contact it is around September 19, some things to go to a friend's home to go more slowly familiar with it.

Because friends travel a lot and have been fostered, cats are stressful to unfamiliar environments. It's better to go out less at home, so I thought of asking me to help put food and water to shovel. For me, I have never had the experience of raising small animals, but through the previous contact I like it, I also think it is not difficult, my friend is afraid of it depression so I live in her home at night, the first business trip is only three days, this day after work, I will immediately go back to give it food, and the place where I live is still very close to their home. After eating, I went back to simply pack up a little daily necessities and change clothes, I was very excited, and I quickly came back, so I started the life of a person and a cat.

The cat's daily activity area is mainly in the living room and also has a balcony. The door of the room is closed, afraid that it will go to bed and lose its hair, but it is still very curious about the room, as long as you open the door it will rush in, it is impossible to stop it, to go in is to go to bed and then if you catch it, you will hide under the bed, there is really no way to take it. On the first day, there was no way to give it to sleep in the house as long as it didn't bother me, but as soon as the lights were turned off, it went crazy on the bed, kept touching my feet and nibbling with its mouth, and if I didn't get it out this night, I didn't want to sleep well, and finally I used snacks to find a way to cheat out.

The cat's biological clock is particularly punctual, the dawn has been outside the door, do not know 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock, so you don't want to sleep anymore, a door and rushed in, the first thing to get up is to see if the food and water in its bowl have been eaten, in the morning must be changed fresh and clean food to it. In this way, I always think about what it is doing and whether it has anything to eat, and at noon I have to go back to see it, and when I go back to see if I have just woken up, the first thing is to take it to the food. It also doesn't eat much and keeps rubbing around my feet, it really likes it the more I look at it, and the first time I leave work is to rush home. It is not as unhurried as before that, I still go to buy something and go back, and I play with it toys after eating. It is very quiet and will not bark, its name is brother, but calling it is generally unresponsive, but after work is waiting at the door early. So 3 days passed quickly after friends also came back. A little reluctant and a little looking forward to the next time we get along.

Soon at the end of October, my friend will be on a business trip again, this time for a little longer than 2 weeks. This time is more handy, at night it likes to play with its toys, one day saw a small dried fish placed in a corner for a long time, after giving it to eat, it found that it went to find itself to eat, put a few other places or was found by it, saw it so like, wanted to prepare a little for it. The happiest thing every day is to go back from work, cook to follow you, run to the stove to watch the washing and stir-frying, like to play with the water from the tap, eat and watch you on the table, but give it nothing to eat, just look at you quietly, although there is its hair everywhere but still do not mind at all. This time the friend went out on the day just received a newly bought piano, the first contact with the piano, although it is a piano blind, but still on the Internet to find information to study a little every day. It also always likes to run to the top and play a song, and sometimes it likes to hide in a corner, and then it will look for it all over the house and don't agree to it. Also found it a problem is to come back to open the door it likes to rush out to the corridor for a walk around and do not want to come back, the good times are always short, soon in early November friends returned, this time back and determined the December to go abroad for a month of time news, she asked me to take care of it has no problem, the answer is definitely no problem, and I like it more and more, even if it is a little longer I am willing to ah.

In this balcony is not fully enclosed, living on a dozen floors is almost twenty floors. There is an anti-theft net on the railing, the space around the guardrail below is relatively large, the pier is also relatively wide, the brother likes to sit on the top and look at the world below, considering that this is very dangerous, want to find someone to seal the window but various reasons have not been implemented, and finally we discussed and decided to buy some protective nets on the Internet, because it is relatively simple, so we can also operate ourselves, once we come back, no matter how late it is, it is always a lot of relief to open the dry, and the balcony is fenced up. During the day, it does not have to worry about one at home, because before it was worried that no one at home during the day was eating all the pull back to the living room to pull on the sliding door, it was more troublesome. Give it another space.

The time soon came to November 31st, friends this time to go a month to start, so that we have more time to get along, this plan is known in advance, so first buy it a toy online, just this time to receive the goods, for this toy it is very like, once back to assemble it can have been playing for more than an hour, a long time it does not like to be limited to a few table tennis in the track to turn, their own ball out of the whole room of cool running, Every day to help it find the ball is not at the bottom of the sofa or in the corner of which coffee table cabinet, because this time to go for a long time, think of a month can not see it, although I often send some videos to her to see, but still will want it so I bought a camera, as soon as I come back to install it, so you can see what it is doing during the day. With this thing, friends can see it at any time on the other side of the earth, and they can have conversations that can excite us. I also want to see it from time to time when I go to work that day. It's just that it doesn't do much during the day, and most of the time it sleeps in a stool under the table. Occasionally, I would change places on the couch and continue to sleep. Only later did it find that it slept on the dining table stool in the morning and on the sofa in the afternoon. Because every day when I come back from work, it is already waiting at the door, so I want to see how it is done, one day I was still in the elevator to open the phone to see it, it was sleeping on the sofa when the elevator door opened it heard the movement, rushed to the door, it turned out that every day it was like this waiting for the arrival of this time. At that time, I couldn't tell if I always felt happy or moved.

Kittens are very intelligent little animals, and in the middle of the night they often open the door and run to the room. Once I caught it, it turned out that it would go to the handle of the door by itself, because the lock was a bit problematic and could not be locked, I don't know why all the cats like to play in bed, at first they always wanted to drive it out, and then they followed it. Big deal I wash the sheets a few more times.

However, once really frightened me, I clearly remember that it was December 10th, after eating in the evening, generally I was used to looking around for a while without seeing it, but that time the whole house was looking for it and did not see it, and there was no response to the call, but I was frightened, I really couldn't think of where it would run, or go to the balcony to see if it would hide again, and suddenly heard a faint sound coming from where it came from. It turned out that it ran outside the sealed balcony, and its heart was beating so much that it really scared me. Because it is sealed with a plastic mesh, the place where it is closed is still a bit active, and I really did not think about how it went out. The narrow space pulled it in with my hands, no matter how it caught me, I tried a few times before I came in, and I was afraid after thinking about it, and I couldn't calm down for a long time after coming in, and I was really worried about what to do if there was any accident. Look around really can't think of where it went out, but I don't know if there was a 1 hour, the terrible happened again, this time was seen by my own eyes, how it is not long to remember it at all, see it jumped on the balcony pier is very skilled to drill out, it is estimated that it usually does not study it less, this time tried several times did not pull it in, there is no way but to calm down first do not scare it, take small snacks to no use. What is more frightening is that it goes up from the front of the balcony, and the way it has to go to the side of the balcony is a large pillar, the column is a convex shape, and the aisle is only 10 cm wide and has to turn 2 90-degree turns to go to the side. When I didn't know how to be good, it went from the front to the side, and the width of the pillar and the structure were only clearly seen by the day behind me, and I didn't know what it looked like before. After coming over, it lingered for a while, and finally pulled it back in the first position. This time there was a lesson from the previous one that only concerned not getting out of the living room. Then it was to move all the big things and block them all, and then think about what to find during the day to strengthen this surrounding. This time it was really frightening the real evil. The same mistake was made twice. This matter can be regarded as a thrill, and I have not dared to tell my friends who are far away from home for fear that he is worried that he will not be able to play abroad with peace of mind, and it has always been after she returned that she dared to tell her slowly. In January, friends came back to hand over well and I also went home for the New Year. However, this happened again after two months of reinforcement, and that time it was a friend who was alone at home, which also frightened her and injured her hand, although she was not there, she could still feel the terrible feeling.

2020 is the most memorable year, because the epidemic occurred and stayed at home for 2 months before returning to Guangdong. Not long after I came back, my friend had to go out again for 2 days, one day and two nights this time I also went to take care of the cat brother, but what I didn't expect was that this time it became our last meeting. A few days after the meeting in March, the friend moved to a neighboring city. I wanted to find a time to see it again, but it was not a month later, I learned that my brother had returned to the news of the cat star, I really did not want to believe that this was true, but it was already a fact, the details of the matter did not dare to ask friends, only knew that at night the door may not be closed and went out I don't know, the 20th floor fell, and the last side did not see the aunt who was cleaned when the garbage was cleaned up. Sad for a long time. Never to be seen again, all that's left are memories and photos from my phone.

After a few days, friends came over to clean up the original side of the house things, there are a few cat cans that have not been taken away, I think it is a pity to throw away, just say take it to feed the stray cats, she let me take it to feed, since then on the way to work, I began to see that there was a stray cat to eat, some saw a time or two and never saw again, and slowly began to buy food on the Internet every day with the go out. Slowly more and more, can be encountered anywhere, since then began the road to rescue, from 1 to 2 3, encountered is sick do not save their conscience can not go.

Now that I think about it, brother cat's short life is to complete its mission, so that a person who has never seen a cat has liked the cat group from the time he met it, and thus began to help more cats who are wandering outside. Although it is impossible to take everyone home, at least all the people you see are stuttering.

The world is so big that it doesn't have a home for them. I hope that more and more people will take care of the small animals around them
