A family with completely opposite personalities who go at their own pace

Both of them are rescue cats that I have been raising since they were kittens. Fumi was a cat that was being taken in by a veterinary hospital due to a large number of pets being kept in a care home. Uni was on the verge of death when a friend of mine rescued her. The friend was allergic to cats and could not keep them, so I took them in.

Fumi knows that when she washes the dishes it's time for a snack, and she barks loudly. Although she's timid and always checks every detail, she's unfazed by hospital visits or visitors. On the other hand, Uni is usually a playful girl, but is a coward who is extremely scared of strangers. She loves to play and keeps asking to play right up until she has to start work. They are a family that lives at their own pace and are truly worthy of respect.

When I'm feeling down, touching him is soothing, so I feel like I've spent less time feeling negative since we started living together. Also, because he clings to me, the cold winters don't seem so bad anymore.
