My owner, my cat.

I don't like cats. When I was little I somehow had cats at home, but then when I grew up I didn't like them anymore.

But now this cat comes here and sits on its two hind legs and looks at me, just stares at me! I'm just standing in my garden, like I do every day in the afternoon. I take a hose and connect it to the water supply and I water all of my plants. I enjoy doing it, I really like going through each of my plants and placing some water on them.

This cat is not leaving. He comes every day in the afternoon and does the same thing, he just looks at me. I put some scraps of food in a container and leave it in the garden. This cat first observed me from outside my house. Now he passes through the bars of the protective wall of my house and manages to sit and look at me as always. I would learn much much later that feeding an animal is like inviting it to stay... And so, the cat stayed.

Now he trusts me more, because without knowing I gave him food and now he comes with more confidence to the garden.

I like him, little by little he earned my good will. The cat is very pretty, at least for me. It has a black patch, from its own, covering one eye. And the rest of the body is mostly white fur and a small part is yellow. Its tail is furry, I think it's a mixture of an angora cat with another type.

Only a long time later did I discover that cats with three colors are female, but I didn't know that at the time. And what else can I say? This cat adopted me. She became the owner of my garden, or did she become my "owner"?

She was able to remember when I got home from work. I left home very early, but when I arrived she did the same, and in the afternoons she accompanied me on the street while I waited for a taxi to pass by to go to work. Later, through my son, I learned that the cat was going somewhere on the streets and would come back again when I returned from work.

She started to get fat with time, but that wasn't true, she wasn't just getting fat, she was pregnant. God! I thought, what will I do with so many kittens? All I could do was wait for the day of delivery and see how we deal with that. Funny how I went from not wanting cats to having a pregnant cat at home.

Time passes, my son and I went on a weekend trip and when we least expected it we received bad news. We had to stay away from home for a week and at the end of the week we returned home and the cat was gone.

She appeared again the day after we returned home, with a surprise! She didn't have a bulging belly anymore, but where are her children? I thought she had lost them. The, shortly after, she began to arrive with the kittens, one after the other, she would leave them in the garden and go for more. She ended up bringing 5 small kittens to the garden. I arranged her cats on a makeshift plastic bed that I found for her and they stayed there for a long time.

Sadly, mama cat got sick. She got some sort of crusty disease on her nose. And she passed it on to some of her children, we were able to bathe the little cats with some special soap and medicines we received from a vet and cure them but mama cat never wanted me to hold her. She was free, used to the street, whenever I wanted to wash her wounds she attacked me... I know it wasn't her fault, she was a cat used to the street, without owners, not used to those signs of affection.

And eventually, during one bad day, I saw her dead on the street...

It's a very sad and painful departure. She left her 5 babies at home, in my care.

The cat that one day approached me and adopted me, that became my owner, left.

I know that animals seek us because of a certain affinity they find with us. They see beyond where we can see.

Yes they know. Now I know that they have a sense to detect who can be their ally. And they go on to give us their protection. Thanks for commenting and for the upvote.

Yes, she was my owner in real life. Of the 5 kittens, one stayed in my house and it is my Copito who became the owner of the place.

Ohh copito was from your previous cat. At least you know the mother left you a new guardian which would annoy you in her stead 😅

My "Copito" was left of it. I always left this cat outside in the garden, but little by little it entered the house and took over my house. But he has the same characteristic of his mother. He does not let them bathe him to heal him. He runs off and doesn't come back until he thinks I forgot.

Then it probably doesn't feel like uou lost the motger at all if he acts basically like how his mother did, of course without the routined and all. But we never do know what happens with cars when they leave the house

It's true, you never know. He always arrives hurt, but he never wants to be cured. He heals only himself.

Seems like he took after his mom indeed. My cat at home enjoyed being taken care of and given belly rubs, honestly

Copito likes to be cared for just at mealtime. But when he is sick he does not want anything to be touched.

Ohh so just for food 😂😂😂 why doesn't he want to be touched? While my cat keeps crying and asking to be cuddled

The cat seeks affection when it wants. He stands by our side and touches us and is happy. But when he looks for us Of the rest when he does not want anything, he does not like to be grabbed at all. He pretends not to understand, gets up and goes to bed somewhere else.

It is a cat used to having stray cat friends, because it always stays outside the house at night. And he learned many strange things as he grew up.

You can't just simply turn your back on animals especially if they have captivated your heart.

I also believe that animal lover person has a kind heart.

Animals choose you as their owner and it is not the other way around. We always think that we are the ones who choose them.
