If you love cats, you will love the world

I had always dreamed of living with a cat, so in 2022 I welcomed this adorable cat with its bangs-like fur and black circle on its back from an acquaintance who works in cat rescue activities. She has a noble and aloof personality, but she's also very talkative and affectionate.

He was a former stray cat and wasn't used to people at first, but we gradually built a relationship of trust, and now we spend our days filled with excitement, surprise, and deep love. But we also have some tearful memories. Shortly after we brought him home, he escaped and we couldn't find him for eight hours... Late at night, I was about to sleep in the entrance hall with the door slightly open when I heard the sound of him chewing on the food I had left outside. There, covered in dust, was our adorable Tan.

Although I felt that this might shorten his lifespan, watching Tan's innocent and carefree nature made me feel a sense of kindness towards birds, insects, and all living things. Loving cats also leads to loving the world.

Tan is like a female friend to me. "If we were to convert her into human years, she would be exactly my age in five years, so I'm looking forward to being the same age as her."
