No es una mascota, es parte de mi pequeña familia.
Llegó un día inesperado a alegrarme la vida, de eso ya hace casi 6 años. Y ahora no me imagino mi vida sin ella.
He is not a pet, he is part of my little family.
She arrived one day unexpectedly to brighten up my life, that was almost 6 years ago. And now I can't imagine my life without her.
Esa pequeña bolita de pelos blanca con negro llamada Carlota (alias "la michu") fue encontrada, por mi hermana y por mí, en el patio de la casa, unos vecinos la habían lanzado hacia allá. Estuvo maullando por dos noches, hasta que la tarde del tercer día decidimos salir a ver qué sucedía con ese gato que no dejaba de maullar.
That little black and white fur ball named Carlota (aka "la michu") was found, by my sister and me, in the backyard of the house, some neighbors had thrown her there. She was meowing for two nights, until the afternoon of the third day we decided to go out to see what was going on with that cat that wouldn't stop meowing.
Cuando la ví, mi corazón se arrugó de tristeza al notar que solamente era una pequeña gatita, estaba flaquita y cabezona. No podía dejarla allí, así que decidí llevarla a la casa, bañarla, alimentarla y darle todo mi amor. Y ahora mirenla. Grande, peluda y gorda.
When I saw her, my heart crumpled with sadness when I realized that she was just a little kitten, skinny and big-headed. I couldn't leave her there, so I decided to take her home, bathe her, feed her and give her all my love. And now look at her. Big, hairy and fat.
Su nombre surgió de la canción infantil "Yo soy la gatita Carlota, mi novio es el gato con botas..." Tardé solo esa noche en decidir su nombre, desde ese momento empezó a formar parte de mi familia.
Mi mamá no la quería, no le gustaba, decía que era solo mi responsabilidad darle de comer y estar al pendiente, pero hubo un día en que con mi hermana, estábamos visitando a mi papá, estuvimos todo el fin de semana con él y cuando regresamos a casa vimos a nuestra mamá con la michu, las dos acostadas en la cama.
¿Que había sucedido?
Her name came from the nursery rhyme "I'm kitty Carlota, my boyfriend is Puss in Boots...". It took me only that night to decide her name, from that moment she started to be part of my family.
My mom didn't like her, she didn't like her, she said it was only my responsibility to feed her and keep an eye on her, but there was a day when my sister and I were visiting my dad, we spent the whole weekend with him and when we came back home we saw our mom with the michu, both of them lying on the bed.
What had happened?
Pues mi mamá se había sentido triste por algo que le sucedió y al encontrarse sola en casa le entraron ganas de llorar, la única que estaba era la gatita quien se le quedó observando por unos poco minutos con esos grandes ojos que ella tiene, y se le acercó buscando a que la acariciara.
En ese momento mi mamá la amó con todo su corazón, así como yo la amo desde el primer día de su llegada😻😻
Well, my mom had felt sad about something that happened to her and when she was alone at home she felt like crying, the only one who was there was the kitten who was watching her for a few minutes with those big eyes she has, and she approached her looking for me to pet her.
At that moment my mom loved her with all her heart, just as I have loved her since the first day of her arrival😻😻
