Kim, The Golden Cat Stories

[louhirata]

Summer days came and Kim had grown already to be what seem to be a big cat: I thought to myself everyday he would be a very big cat. His paws were very big..

He would wake up now before the alarm clock, about 5 minutes, and would start meowing for his food. I would prepare warm milk and baby dry food. I had bought a plate with a drawing of the blue fish and he like it. So, he would slowly eat his food, after hearing the Japanese words of food welcome of everyday...

Then, he would go for his necessities...

But the first day he pee out of the litter, I had to do something. I dry it with toilet paper and put the piace of toilet paper on top of the chemical sand. The smell of his pee stayed there for a while.

From that day on, he always pee on the litter!

At lunch, I would give Kim half a package of whiscas wet food, chicken flavour. Sometimes I would cook chicken soup for him. He also learned how to eat salad, since he liked to play with the green leaves I ate. Then one day, he tasted... and loved it. The very tender and tiny leaves... Kariots, he would appreciate too, so, he kept chewing it.

At dinner, I would give him some dry food and later some more milk.

He was very talkitivy, meowing a lot... while I also talked to him.

I used to leave the radio on because from hour to hour, there would be a comment besides music. He also liked the answering machine, which he ended up breaking it... because he loved to jump on top of it when it rung.

(I started to noticed there would no messages for me anymore! He simply would jump on top of it when the telephone rung!)

Sometimes I would take Kim out with a lead, and he would love to try to go up the trees, smelling everything.

He heard a bird oneday. He stoped and stayed in hunting position... waiting... hunting... waiting... He meow trembling... another trembling meow... And the bird flew knowing this little kitten would not hurt him!

So, the days went on with the the playfull days of joy of having Kim at home. Summer that year was very pleasant with nice temperatures and lots of rain. And Kim loved to hear the rain, and we loved to sleep while it rainned! The heavy drops falling and the smell of wet land was always, and Kim nostrils moved smell Summer days and its flowers.
