In the past few days, I have been extremely depressed, and I have encountered something that makes me hesitate and be upset.
I have two cats at home, the male cat is called Mimi, the British short blue and white, the female cat is called Meow, and the British short silver gradient.
The two cats are now 6 and a half years old, and both have relatively quiet personalities, and sleep most of the time, and the home is in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
Some time ago, this tranquility was broken by a kitten.
On October 19 last year, two American kittens from college classmates gave birth to a litter of kittens. My husband and I both want a kitten.
Because Mimi and Meow Meow have long been neutered, I have always had the idea of taking a kitten home and giving them a baby, imagining how the two big cats will spoil the kittens.
The kitten was only 42 days old when he came to the house, and my husband named him Yuanbao. After two or three days of isolation from the big cat, I often took the kitten out to play with it so that it could get acquainted with the two big cats.
The little ingots are very lively and curious, running around, looking everywhere, bouncing, very cute, I took a lot of it**.
But soon, the family began to be less harmonious. Yuanbao's spirit is very big, and he keeps running around at home, jumping up and down. When I saw the big cat, I threw myself at them enthusiastically, hugged the big cat's neck and bit it, and the big cat was harassed by it and slept a lot.
Meow meow is okay, the ingots pounce on it, it will resolutely harness it, drive it away, or quickly run to a high place by itself.
And Mimi, every time she was thrown to the ground by the ingots and scuffled together, Mimi got up and ran, the ingots chased after her, and when she caught up, she pounced again, holding Mimi and rolling to the ground. The worst thing is that every time Mimi scuffles with Yuanbao, she screams and screams miserably.
According to Mimi's size, it can definitely be **ingots, but it always seems to be very passive, either chased by ingots and running all over the house, or beaten by ingots.
Every time I make too much trouble, I will be very irritable, get up to interfere, chase over to stop the ingot, or kick it away with my foot, or just take it away, lock it up and reprimand it, at this time, the whole building can hear my angry roar, just like those mothers who tutor their children to learn to lose control of their emotions.
Every time I reprimanded the ingot, I couldn't bear it, looking at its pitiful appearance, thinking that it would leave its mother at such a young age, and quickly picked it up and coaxed it.
Such a drama is staged every day, the harmonious situation of hope is not at all, the original years of tranquility have also been broken, I regret a little that I want this kitten, and I moved the mind of sending the kitten away.
After my college classmates learned about my troubles, they said, if you think it's too naughty and don't want to raise it, let's hurry up and find someone to send it, the kitten is now 4 months old, and after half a year old, others don't want it.
I hesitated again, Yuanbao is actually a very good kitten, and I like it very much. It has many, many advantages, not to mention being beautiful, bold, unrecognizable, lively and cute, able to eat and sleep, and willing to be held.
I said to my classmates, I'll observe it for another week, if it can get along with Mimi, I still want to raise it.
On Sunday night, I was holding the ingots, which were lying in my arms quite well, when suddenly I was holding my arm and biting it. Although it didn't bite hard, its little teeth were so sharp that it still punctured my arm. I quickly put it down, washed my arms, and applied disinfectant.
The heart was on fire, Yuan Bao and Mimi scuffled, and Mimi's screams sounded in the house again.
I slapped the ** of them fighting to my college classmates. The classmate asked, "Have you decided that you don't want to raise it?" Then I'll ask if anyone wants a cat, and you can ask too. ”
On Monday morning, a college classmate called** and said that she had found someone who wanted a kitten, and that she was a neighbor in her neighborhood.
I said, I'd better observe for another week.
The classmate said, don't observe anymore, the cat is still the same cat, and the personality will not change. This neighbor has a very strong desire to have a kitten, saying that her husband and the kitten have the same birthday, and I think her family and the kitten are very fateful, and I have promised to give it to her.
My classmates were very resolute and did not allow me to hesitate. It is estimated that she thinks that ingots make me upset, and I dislike them, so why bother, it is better to give it to someone who can accept it.
I was forced to agree, agreeing to hand over the kitten the following Sunday when she returned from a business trip.
But since it was decided to send the ingots away, the ingots were like a cat, surprisingly well-behaved.
Most of the time, ingots play by themselves, sleep by themselves, eat and drink by themselves. I sat on the couch reading a book, and Yuan Bao jumped on the couch and slept on my legs. I was writing an article in front of the computer, and Yuan Bao jumped on the table, played by himself for a while, rubbed my hands, and then slept next to my book.
The years I had been looking forward to were quiet, and just as I was about to send it away, it came so suddenly.
The relationship between Yuan Bao and Mimi is also different from before. It still occasionally goes to tease Mimi, hugging Mimi and fighting, but Mimi gets up and runs, and it won't chase it, and these days, there is no more drama of kittens chasing big cats at home.
Mimi also seems to have mastered the skills of dealing with ingots, sometimes ingots walk up to Mimi's side and are about to pounce on it, as soon as Mimi "ha" it, it stops very sensibly. Both cats learn to coexist peacefully.
On Tuesday morning, I sent a WeChat message to my classmates, and I said I didn't want to send the kitten away.
The classmate immediately came over, she said that she had already promised the other party, and she couldn't help but keep her promise, and the other party had actively prepared all kinds of things for the kitten. My classmate comforted me and said, you just can't bear it now, just get over it, it's not just a cat, it's okay to send it away.
I couldn't get enough of my classmates, so I had to give up, but I was so sad that I always wanted to cry.
In the past two days, Yuan Bao also often sat there in a daze, and when I went to see it, it looked at me with melancholy eyes, and I felt that it seemed to feel something, and it didn't want to go.
Before, it was naughty, crazy, bullying Mimi, yelling at me, being disciplined by me, and making me irritable. While I was heartbroken about it, I actually poured too much emotion into it, so it was even more difficult to let go.
By Wednesday morning, the idea of leaving the ingots was getting stronger, and I had figured out how to convince my classmates.
My classmate's neighbor bought some kitten things, and I could buy them, or I would ask someone if they had any kittens that had just been born, and find another one for her.
Anyway, she hasn't seen ingots, and it's the same for her.
As for me, I have been with Yuan Bao day and night for more than two months, and I have been angry, angry, affectionate, and loving for it, so I decided that I wanted it.
I told my two friends and my sister about my thoughts, but I didn't expect that the three people who didn't know each other had surprisingly the same opinion, and they didn't support me to keep the ingots.
A friend said that you already have two big cats at home, and you don't need to worry about them anymore, and now you have another cat, even if it is very well-behaved, it still takes a lot of energy, so why bother? Send it away.
Another friend said, you look at the kitten very well-behaved now, but this is an extremely unstable state, how can you guarantee that it will always be well-behaved? It turned out that the two big cats in the family were more than 6 years old and were in stable condition.
My sister said, just send the kitten away quickly, don't get entangled. Let the home return to its former tranquility, and stop looking for so many things for yourself. Besides, if it goes to a good family, they will definitely treat it well.
Hearing everyone say that, my heart gradually calmed down.
In the past two days, for the sake of ingots, I was so upset that I didn't want to think about it, which was really undeserved.
At this age, you really shouldn't want too many things, have too many desires. A simple, peaceful life is good for your body.
Perhaps, I may not really have a fate with Yuanbao. When I raised it, it made a lot of noise and upset me; When I decided to send it away, it was so behaving that it upset me.
If the little ingots go to someone else's house and are the only treasure in that family, it will get more love.
And in my case, it wants to share my love with Mimi and Meow. If it's good, I naturally like it, but if it doesn't get along with Mimi, or bullies Meow when it grows up, will I get bored again?
At this point, I turned my head to see the ingot, which sat quietly on the chair next to it without saying a word.
I touched its little head and said: Yuanbao, why are you so well-behaved, can you not be so well-behaved!
Friends, there are 3 days left until Sunday, what the hell should I do?
