My lovely cats

I have two lovely cats in Japan. They are both eleven-year-olds. I took care of them until I left Japan. My mother who loves cats is taking care of them now. She often sends me photos in which they are sleeping. You know, cats always sleep, so it's difficult to take a photo in which cats sit up. I miss them soooo much, but I'm not sure if they miss me. My mother says that sometimes they wait for me in front of the door of my room. What cute cats! I know I'm their doting mom.

I bought one of them at a pet shop. About one month later, I bought the other one from a cat breeder. Before buying the second one, I studied how I should receive the new one. Actually, it was the same as a human. Usually the first one is jealous of the new one. It's like a sibling rivalry of humans. So I took care of them carefully. I didn't pet and hug the new one when the first one was nearby me. But one day, the first one found that I was hugging the new one. He ran to me quickly, and he took a punch at my foot. And then he ran away! I was surprised, and froze for a few seconds. He was so funny and cute.
They are good friends of each other now.

  1. I love your story about your cats, especially the part about the cat rivalry, very, very cute.

    I love cats too and my parents left us two kitties at our house in Italy. One of the cats, the male, is extremely affectionate and loves to walk around with people, almost like a dog! He is so cute. I miss both of those cats too.

  2. Hi Aki,

    I just wanted to say that I liked very much what you wrote and that I'm pretty sure that your cats miss you a lot too.
