In the summer of 2022, August 7th was destined to be a special day. On that day, my friend carefully brought a small box to my house, inside which were three little lives—two adorable female kittens and one playful male kitten. They looked like little fairies straight out of a fairy tale, enchanting at first sight.
Among these kittens, I chose the unique little boy and named him "Charlie." His arrival brought endless joy and warmth to our home. From the first moment we met, he showed no signs of discomfort or stress. Instead, he seemed very at ease. He slept soundly and even stayed by my partner’s side while playing games. His tiny figure quickly became the youngest member of our family and our concern whenever we were away from home.
Charlie is extremely mischievous, and his antics always leave us both laughing and crying. Sometimes, he would sneak onto the bed just as we put on fresh sheets and pee on them. Seeing his innocent eyes, we couldn't bear to scold him. Other times, he would lie in the litter box eating cat litter, making us wonder about his unique taste. There were also moments when he would stand on the water dispenser to wash his feet, which led us to replace four water dispensers—all broken by him. Each time, we would laugh and say, "This little guy is just too naughty!"
Charlie's temper is a lot like mine, especially easy to get angry. Sometimes, when we forced him to wear clothes, he would turn his back on us and sulk for a long time. However, his anger was always short-lived, quickly forgotten. On the contrary, he knew how to express his love and dependence on us. When I played the ukulele, he would sit in front of me, being the most attentive listener, and his focused gaze made me feel very warm. When I felt unhappy, he would roll around and act silly to make me laugh, helping me forget my troubles. Every time I came home from work, he would rush over to greet me, and his affectionate behavior made me feel incredibly happy.
This June, we celebrated Charlie's first birthday together. We prepared a beautiful cake and gifts for him and took many precious photos. Watching him grow day by day, we felt very gratified and happy. We believe that there will be many more years to come, during which we will stay by Charlie's side, sharing more beautiful moments.
Every day spent with Charlie is the best life. He brings us not only laughter and companionship but also endless warmth and love. We will cherish every moment with Charlie, making him the most precious memory of our lives.
