I must admit that during my childhood, cats were definitely not my favorite pets. In fact, for a while I thought I was allergic to them because I couldn't stop sneezing when I was around one. But that feeling changed when I was studying and living in a residence with other girls, we decided to adopt a very adorable kitten that I sadly stopped seeing when I moved out, but I always carry in my heart. That's why today, every time I see an adorable kitten, I want to hug it and take it home with me.
On this occasion, I was visiting my friend Michell, whom I call “the cat charmer.” All the cats that live around her house always come to her for cuddles and strokes because she loves all animals, but cats are her favorites. Although many cats visit her house, there are two that do so much more frequently. They belong to the house right next door, with yards that are quite close together, so they often wander from their yard to my friend's house and start meowing like crazy until she comes out. She had already told me about this, but I didn't believe her until I saw and heard it for myself, as it sounded like a cat serenade on the other side of the door.😂
When I saw them, I was completely fascinated by how beautiful they were. One of them, named Chenoa, stood out because of his ash-gray color, which seemed to blend in with his own fur as he had darker patches. Before I knew his real name, I called him “the smoky one.” 😅 But in addition to this rather peculiar coat, he had eyes of such an intense blue that they were mesmerizing. Next to him was a grumpy little guy who, my friend told me, had only been adopted a week ago, so we didn't know his name yet. That's why we decided to call him “grumpy” 🤭 until we found out his real name.
We spent some time with them as they seemed to want to play, and we also took the opportunity to give them some food, which they gladly accepted. After a while of lots of cuddles and games, they got bored of us and decided to leave, but every now and then they would come back so we could see them. I was so enchanted by these kittens that I really wanted one for myself at that moment. In fact, I wanted to take them both with me, but I knew I couldn't because they already had a family. I had no choice but to pet them while I could and hope to see them again on my next visit to my friend's house 🥺

Debo admitir que durante mi infancia, los gatos no eran mis mascotas favoritas. De hecho, durante un tiempo pensé que era alérgica a ellos porque no podía dejar de estornudar cuando estaba cerca de uno. Pero esa sensación cambió cuando estudiaba y vivía en una residencia con otras chicas. Decidimos adoptar un gatito adorable que, lamentablemente, dejé de ver al mudarme, pero que siempre llevo en mi corazón. Por eso, hoy, cada vez que veo un gatito, quiero abrazarlo y llevármelo a casa.
En esta ocasión, visitaba a mi amiga Michell, a quien llamo "la encantadora de gatos". Todos los gatos que viven cerca de su casa siempre acuden a ella en busca de mimos y caricias porque ama a todos los animales, pero los gatos son sus favoritos. Aunque muchos gatos visitan su casa, hay dos que lo hacen con mucha más frecuencia. Son de la casa de al lado, con patios bastante juntos, así que suelen vagar desde su patio hasta la casa de mi amiga y empezar a maullar como locos hasta que ella sale. Ya me lo había contado, pero no le creí hasta que lo vi y lo oí con mis propios ojos, ya que sonaba como una serenata de gatos al otro lado de la puerta. 😂
Cuando los vi, quedé completamente fascinada por lo hermosos que eran. Uno de ellos, llamado Chenoa, destacaba por su color gris ceniza, que parecía mimetizarse con su propio pelaje, ya que tenía manchas más oscuras. Antes de saber su verdadero nombre, lo llamaba "el ahumado". 😅 Pero además de este pelaje tan peculiar, tenía ojos de un azul tan intenso que eran hipnotizantes. Junto a él había un pequeño gruñón que, según me dijo mi amiga, había sido adoptado hacía solo una semana, así que aún no sabíamos su nombre. Por eso decidimos llamarlo "gruñoncin" 🤭 solo hasta descubrir su verdadero nombre.
Pasamos un rato con ellos, ya que parecían querer jugar, y también aprovechamos para darles de comer, que aceptaron con gusto. Después de un rato de muchos mimos y juegos, se aburrieron de nosotras y decidieron irse, pero de vez en cuando volvían para que pudiéramos verlos. Estaba tan encantada con estos gatitos que en ese momento me dieron ganas de tener uno. De hecho, quería llevármelos a los dos conmigo, pero sabía que no podía porque ya tenían una familia. No me quedó más remedio que acariciarlos mientras pudiera y esperar verlos de nuevo en mi próxima visita a casa de mi amiga 🥺
