When an ordinary Beijing citizen lost her cat

Seeing the report, in our country, the number of pet cats reached 58 million, which has surpassed the dog. In 2021, the number of cat owners reached 32.25 million. The first three reasons for the scarring officer to raise cats were touched porcelain, liked, and wanted to accompany.

Observing those who are surrounding cats are not uncommon, and can even be said to be very common: I encounter a stray cat, take home, live with it, and give it an end to the elderly.

The same is true of my girl. She flowed into our hospital and we adopted her. She has lived with us for 16 years. Until July this year, she returned to the cat.

Because most of the stray cats have fallen from the sky, it is difficult to know its exact age, so it is one year old as usual. Niuniu is seventeen years old, and the age of adults is 84.

Now we can see cats on various video platforms. Most of the videos are the cuteness of cats. Yes, it is just a cute word, which is enough to harvest tens of millions of clicks and millions of fans. In fact, raising cats is not only about cute, but cats need to pay for more than ten years and responsibilities. Cats also have old and sick, so cats have happiness and sadness. It is the same as all human stories.

From a certain perspective, the story of Niuniu and I is not just a personal story.

Text ｜ The original second sister

Timing import

Niuniu, big name Bao Furong. Female. The year of birth is unknown.

On July 11, 2006, Niuniu appeared in my lens for the first time. This is our first meeting. I gave her meals for the first time that day. After checking the blog at the time, she had been in our hospital for more than a month at that time. She is not a natural stray cat. She originally had a home. The former owner was demolished, and people left and did not bring cats. Niuniu, who stayed in place, was brought back by our hospital and was raised in the courtyard. The Dong family took a bite and a bite of the West family. Anyway, she was not hungry. So she is not afraid of people. Several old ladies and old ladies in the courtyard hit mahjong under the ginkgo tree, and she followed.

At that time, no one knew what she was called. According to international practice, she called her "Mimi" and she responded. Until later, when she came, she had always responded to the word Mimi. Niuniu is the nickname we gave her. Mimi used the name.

After feeding her once, I went downstairs with cat food and shouted Mimi, and she might not come from where. She remembered me in less than a week. After eating cat food, I followed me into the unit door, and I didn't know how she found me on the four floors. Various cats that have been passed before and after our hospital, whether they stay in the short term or have lived for several years, there are more than ten or twenty. No cat like Niuniu, chase the fourth floor and wait for me to give me a meal. It's simply, we are the son of each other's heavenly election.

Niuniu appeared in my lens for the first time.

Knowing that Niuniu would come to find rice from time to time. In addition to two cat food in the morning and evening, I also put a plate of cat food at the door of the house. She came to eat at any time. There is a small firewood upstairs. For a few months, their family often does not close the door. It goes down the next floor and eat cat food at our doorstep. Once I just put the cat food, Niuniu just came up, and a few mouthfuls, and the puppy dog ​​upstairs came down again. It also heard me meals for cats. As soon as the dog approached, Niuniu fried, bowing her back, and in her mouth, the puppy went forward, Niuniu was anxious, and she reached out to beat the dog. That's a big mouth! The shot is fast. I was frightened, and hurriedly hugged the dog back again. But it seemed that the dog was not here.

It didn't take long for Niuniu to let her come home. But at that time, there was a cat at home, orange cat M, a second child, what should I do if the indigenous people are angry? You know, many cats can't stay at all because the aboriginal people live and die. At that time, Niuniu had a skin disease. The doctor said that she needed to be isolated from the indigenous cat. Our family did not have a particularly large house to let them not contact each other and did not accept her in time.

But I have never ignored her. For a while, she found a cabinet in our corridor, and she lived up, almost becoming my neighbor. After we learned, we put a carton on the cabinet, and all kinds of food had not broken. For a few days, she fell asleep in the carton. As long as I opened the door, no matter what she did, she would jump out of the carton and follow me. Niuniu must have seen it long ago that this woman can break. Just say a few good words, snoring or whatever when eating her meals, especially, as long as she holds her hand with her head, this woman takes off sooner or later.

Not long after the corridor renovation, the cabinet boxes were taken away, but Niuniu's water bowl and rice bowl was still there. Niuniu continued to play in the courtyard and came to eat hungry. On October 9, 2006, Dongliang (Mr. I) said let her come to our house. She is the child of Sanhua. Dongliang said that the little name is Niuniu, the big name is Hibiscus, and the meaning of "hibiscus flowers bloom, rich and rich".

I was sympathetic to Niuniu at first, and felt that she was pitiful. I don't know from the day, I changed from sympathy to love for this smart semi -wandering little girl. Yes, we spend time on each other to make us unique.

Niuniu picked herself cleanly.

Flourish

The so -called water flowing is not the meaning of stormy waves. It's like the breathing of normal people, smooth and gentle. If you can't breathe, it's all an accident. Thinking back in those years, it is as plain as water, which is really a day of life. There is nothing big.

After more than a month of visiting, we had sterilized surgery for Niuniu. After that, she entered a stable growth stage. This is a stable stage of about 112 years. At this stage, Niuniu had a problem except for an anal glands, and it was healthy at other times. Cat is a magical little animal. Niuniu has come home for many years. She watched her eat and wash her face in the house every day, and she was like her on the first day: watch ~ No ~.

At this home, Niuniu quickly stood as a later person. She is not noble, and she is not a famous cat. It is not a peerless posture, but never inferiority. That is, every day, she is particularly frank. Many humans will not live naturally, but Niuniu will. "I am like this." This is the four -character motto of Niuniu's cat. If you have a sun, you will bask in the sun. Where is the warm and comfortable, you can stay comfortably.

Niu Niu is different from "Aboriginal" M. M was taken back as soon as weanted and grew up at home. Niuniu lived outside. After things, suffering, and experienced, she was different from M.

Niuniu and "Aboriginal" M

Niuniu is not so scared of the outside world and not afraid of people. When you come at home, M is hiding, and Niuniu looks up at the front. Under the bed, in short, far away from humans; Niuniu, Niuniu watching people work and supervise. When people leave, Niuniu should eat and drink. M not. It takes a long time to walk out of the place where he can come out of the place.

Niuniu does not picky eaters. Never picky eaters. I don't know if it's because of being hungry. At the beginning of the home, I was urgent about eating. Eating fiercely, as if I was afraid of eating this meal. Later, I was used to it at home, so I didn't gobble. In those years I went out to play, no matter where I went, I must bring them back to the local cat food, canned food, wonderful fresh bag. M picks up, says not to eat if you do n’t eat, no matter which country you are; Niuniu does n’t pick. Only canned Swiss cats, let alone Niuniu does not eat, even the stray cats in the community next door do not eat. I don't know how unbelievable that thing is.

Niuniu and dad. After all, the cat dad took her to collect her. Adopting Niuniu and Shuanglong (the cat picked up by our family) is the only feat of the cat dad to promote the progress of human civilization in his life. Therefore, every time Dad hugs her, Niuniu's expression is full of trust and even worship. Niuniu likes everything about dad, including but not limited to Dad himself, Dad's clothes, quilts, socks, shoes ...

In the winter, a cashmere sweater of the beam was found to be sleeping and soft and soft when she was sleeping on it. The pillar would not be worn, and she did not accept it. Cashmere, not a good cashmere, that is also cashmere. After Tiannan, I took out and washed. The elder sister in the laundry said, do you know how much I spent, do you pick the cat hair clean?

But Niuniu does not let the claws move, and keep moving. M does not let it move, but they are not the same. M is "Don't move you, don't move, but scare the cat." Niuniu is "you try to try to draw you."

Niuniu is also very alert to the outside world. Once, Niuniu squatted at the door of the bedroom, staring at the corner of the door behind the door, as if there was something there. When I look at the door, there is a broom, nothing. Hold Niuniu aside. She went to squat again in a while. it's wired. I opened the door and picked up the broom. It turned out that I didn't know when and where to come from a small gecko. I don't know how Niuniu discovered it. I think the gecko is not saying. In this way, M is the same as a fool.

Niuniu has always been curious about everything, and is so old. I want to try everything, see everything, and everything is disaster. I must watch it when I dismantle the courier. I must buy something to take a picture. She must come over to see. When I buy flowers, she must also smell it. If I do n’t stop it, some she will take a sip. We used to pack the spicy crabs. While I didn't pay attention, she picked up a big pliers, jumped from the table to the ground, and then stunned. She didn't know that the thing was spicy.

Niuniu just likes flowers and plants

At the end of August 2020, we took Shuanglong from my parents' house. Three cats in the family, Shuanglong is the kind of "puppy cat". Where do you sit, she will come over for a while, and I will lie next to it; M is in charge of me. Posterminting this is the right thing. I will go out tomorrow, ", otherwise he is not happy. No matter what Niuniu, when she goes out, go out and come back and come back. But she combed her or something, and she would also snore and express her happiness.

Although they are alienated with others, Niuniu and the other two cats get along well. M came earlier than her, and she knew this and never argued. This is wisdom. Fat Cat Shuanglong came from the house, and she was not allowed. This was an advanced wisdom.

Began to realize that Niuniu entered the old age, in the spring of 2018, she pulled four teeth because of gingivitis. Basically, it was the first time that Niu Niu Cat was born in 13 years. For more than two years, Niuniu's state is not bad. Therefore, I habitually forgot that she was an old cat again.

Niuniu pulled four teeth

At that time, Niuniu did not spare self -pity after pulling half of her mouth, and still worked hard to eat and drink. When there are flowers at home, they still help my mother keep the flowers. When they ask for a lot, they are asking for a lot, and they can also play happily by themselves. Every time you pull the shit, you have to yell — 欸, and then run in the room a few laps to show your body and mind. Not obedient, and there is no illusory cat, Niuniu is very free in her heart. I often think that if Niuniu is an individual, I also see the jumping house on the road that can jump to the earth. I never saw Niuniu feel old, not good at it, anxiety, unconfident. No matter in any way, Niuniu is my role model.

I love Niuniu, she also loves me, so every day, I think it is fine.

Lost I love forever

Really realized that Niuniu was really old. It was November 25, 2020. The doctor said that Niuniu had heart disease. Since then, he has started his career. Hyperthyroidism was discovered in April 2021, and later there were gallstones and chronic pancreatitis. Go to review every month, and the medicine is taken more.

That's the year from the age of fifteen to sixteen. This year, Niuniu was a bit hard. Like most eighty -year -old humans, diseases are involved. Dongliang said that Niuniu did not like to sleep with us after being sick. She slept herself. She knew that she was sick.

Taking medicine is too bitter. Even mixed in the can. After eating, she went to drink water tightly, and she also had asing sound in her mouth. It was too difficult to swallow when it heard. Every time Niuniu took the medicine, I thanked her: "Niuniu has worked hard, thank you for cooperating."

But as long as the physical condition allows, she will work hard. When I saw the two orange cats chasing the two orange cats, Niuniu stood calmly on her cat grabbing the board next to the aisle, and a cat passed her and reached out. There is no clear purpose, whoever passes by. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you don't know that Niuniu and the bad side of the child.

Eating aspects is also very hard. While we don't pay attention, she has stolen the sauce elbow made by the godmother, as well as bread and Dieba.

But you need to stare. She has to take care of her vomiting. Just like an old man with a chronic disease, right? When she was, she also had a mood to go to the balcony, and even jumped into the flower stand from the carton, stepped on the pot of vegetables to reach the window sill, and stepped on a foot to eat a newly growing hanging orchid leaves. But she can feel that she is indeed better than before. She rarely runs at home, and she is slow to walk anywhere, and she does not jump on the table. She will get on the chair first, then from the chair to the table. When she came down, she returned.

She is usually a little pant at home, but she is calm and finds a suitable posture to sleep steadily for a long time. I have to admit that when I watching her sleeping, I thought faintly, can I not come that day ...

Sleeping girl

That day was still here, but Niuniu was still gone.

At 15:00 on July 11, 2022, Niuniu returned to the meow star due to heart failure.

When I took her out that morning, I also thought that if I need to eliminate inflammation, strive for injections, or hurt my stomach; if I need to measure her blood sugar to fight insulin every day, I must learn. What I think is how to let her eat and take medicine after returning. I couldn't think of it ... In the last moment, I suddenly understood those who wanted to cloned their own pets. It's really reluctant.

In the last few hours of Niuniu, I don't want to say more.

Dongliang said, "Actually, this is not a sudden blow to you." I also feel that I have long been prepared. But this incident cannot be prepared. No preparation is useless. That is, you know there will be that day in the morning and evening, but you don't expect this day.

The root cause of all problems is that she is old.

That day we took the empty box home from the hospital. As soon as we entered the door, M jumped over. When we saw that there were no cats in the box, there was nothing at first. I told him that Niuniu went far away and didn't come back. He didn't call. I have never called these days. I think he understands.

Shuanglong looks like something in the house. One morning, the plastic bag of Niuniu's urine was not thrown in time on the last day, and it was put on the ground. I came out of the bathroom and found that Shuanglong was lying on the plastic bag. Sometimes she is lying on the couch of Niuniu, or the wall of the aisle is where Niuniu often stays. I do n’t know if Shuanglong ’s mind is in his mind,“ There is a cat in the family less ”. I told her, "Niuniu won't come back ..." After thinking about it, it's not very exactly. In a few days, I still picked up the ashes of Niuniu, and told Shuanglong again, "In a few days, Niu Niu is in another form. return."

That day, it was confirmed that Niuniu had gone. The veterinarian brother said that the hospital would contact the pet funeral company to remove Niuniu's body, and then send it back a video, and then hand the ashes back in a few days. I said that that's it. I didn't read how much it was. that's not important. It must be cheaper than humans.

The nurse said whether she would bring her things to her. I said it. The towel she usually used was with a small cushion. When she went to the hospital, she took it. The nurse was wrapped with a small cushion with a towel. A small package with four or four square meters.

I held the little package and didn't know where to get it. Out of the ward door, the opposite house is the freezer. The nurse gently put Niuniu in, saying that I didn't need to control it. Then we went home in a disappointment.

At 6 o'clock that night, the veterinarian brother said that Niuniu's body had taken away. At nine o'clock the next morning, the veterinarian brother transferred to me for more than two minutes. Niuniu was lying on a table, under her small cushion and towel quilt, she covered a blue silk cloth on her body, which was the pattern of human life clothes. The staff combed her with hair, and the camera looked around. Niuniu seemed to be asleep. Then the curtain fell ... The video I said farewell to Dongliang said to Dongliang that day, but that video has not sent him until now. He didn't want it either. Did you forget it? Can't. He hurts the girl so much. Anyway, he also knew that Niuniu was also treated seriously, that's it.

On the morning of the third day, the veterinarian brother said that the ashes of Niuniu had been handed to the hospital. The night before taking the ashes, the pillar flipped to the cabinet to find a black cloth, saying that the ashes should be covered. Without a black cloth, finally found a red velvet. I don't care what color, but Niuniu will not be reasonable. We went together that day. The ashes were in the courier box, and I returned home holding a red cloth box. The ashes are placed in a small jar, which is very small. Now the jar is at the top of the cabinet at home.

Niuniu is now at home in another form. Everyone said that when we met us, we were the blessing of Niuniu. This is not the case, I never think so. Meeting Niuniu is our blessing. We can have such a good cat. We do n’t think we have poor living conditions in our family.

Niuniu appeared in my photo for the first time on July 11, 2006. The last time appeared in my photo on July 11, 2022. Sixteen years. Is it all arranged by heaven long ago?

The movie "The Fantasy Drifting of Youth" said that the most regrettable life is that he did not say goodbye. Did I say goodbye to Niuniu? That day, I kissed her little body, "Niuniu, goodbye. But Mexicans do not say that people have died twice. The first time is physical death. The second time is that no one remembers you, and it is the real death. In this way, I didn't say goodbye to Niuniu, and I didn't want to say goodbye to her. She is still in my heart.

Niuniu's first photo and the last photo

Why do we love cats?

Cats are boundless, long and happy. This sentence is very shallow, but it is true.

Between our cats, we do not explore the significance of cats raising and what is the relationship with cats. These are concerned about the talents who do not raise cats, and think about it. It's like why raising children, only talents who don't have children always ask the meaning of having children.

Why do you love cats? It is particularly simple because the cat is cute. It is cute all his life. When you are annoying again, when you see the cat, the negative emotions will be halved immediately. People who do not raise cats may not be able to appreciate. We can see such a big fun when we see cats sleeping. You say that it does n’t move, just sleep, people watch, inexplicably happy.

We have the feelings of cats to cats. To many people who do not raise cats, it is about the same as mental illness. I used to say a few words, a few words. Now it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all, and it does not argue without explanation. The dispute is you right.

I have read an article, saying that the seven colonies of cats, Greek Japan and other cats gather. Cat's biggest colony should be the heart of cat slaves.

When Niuniu came home, I was only in her thirties. Now I am already a five -character person. We entered the old age together. For more than ten years, the cat strength demonstrates that "companionship is the longest confession." Staying one by one is not necessarily companionship, interaction, and positive interaction. Looking at each other to get tired of getting tired of it, it is a companion.

Speaking of my relationship with Niuniu, there was nothing particularly obvious before, and it didn't matter if it was the owner. Now I prefer to say that I am its parents, guardians, and responsible person. The side that is opposite to the owner is often tamed. Taming cats, that's all the wishes of human beings and wishful thinking. Humans always want to tame who. This is also a disease. There is such a species in partiality. We raised cats rare this.

The aunt downstairs often showed me her cat, "Smart, let the rolling rolling!" Back to the hippie, she smiled and smiled, "Are you raising a dog?"

If you have n’t raised dogs, it may be prejudice: Human demands on dogs (even pet dogs) still implement the policy since ancient times. One is useful and the other is obedience. It was on this issue that after a long evolution (struggle), the cat and dog parted ways and stood on the top of the "animal and human relationship". Essence Some people don't like cats, the reason is that cats have no conscience. I think the potential meaning of the three words "no conscience" is "dissatisfied or obedient."

In fact, for more than ten years after entering a human family, the meow stars have been patiently taught by a way of getting along with each other. It is that it does not follow your established policy. You have nothing to do. If you are not convinced, there is no second way except changing yourself. Therefore, after human beings have controlled so many things on the earth, God arranges cats into human life. This is a warning: Don't feel omnipotent for both beasts, in fact, you can't even play a cat.

Of course, the most important lesson for all cats is always facing life and death.

It is increasingly feeling that when the death of death is really coming, all the thoughts and psychological massage you made before are in vain, and then grit your teeth and say that you will be strong, or you will still be hit by a thunder. And, this kind of blow is nothing to do, you don't know how much its weight is. Some people say that death is to return all the happiness back. I don't think it is. Of course, life and death, love, and injury are two sides of one side. It is impossible to get all the best. But has disappeared with Niuniu in the past sixteen years? No, there must be any traces that are left. Because of these traces, Niuniu didn't come in vain. Every day we spend together is ordinary and valuable. Those are the most cherished things in my life. Even if there is no feeling at that time, look back one day and find that it is a treasure on the road when we come back. That's a gift from Niuniu.

Sniu Niu changed to me to some extent, or Niuniu let me know herself and know what kind of person she is. It also strengthened a kind of values: goodness and sympathy seemed to be more and more worthless, but I still think it is the most precious quality of human beings.

Thinking back to the happy happiness these years, I feel gratified. The most is gratitude. We met Niuniu and spent more than ten years together. Thanks to Niuniu, I am grateful to Niuniu is part of my life. This will never change.

Not all encounters are grateful. Some humans, that's the best that it has never met this life, but cats are different. Although Niuniu is an ordinary Sanhua Cat, it is also a gift from God to us, and she needs to be held in my palm.

I never believe that there is a life, and now I think there is a good life, I hope we can meet. At another time and space, we can recognize each other at a glance. Hope we will not be separated next time.

If every kitten will become a star after the death, I hope, and firmly believe that Niuniu will become a bright one, not necessarily very eye -catching, but it must not be dim. Light that has been loved.
