Life
without Soji (our cat) has not been easy these past 4 months. After
all, we spent 14 years of our life with her! Before Soji, I had never
had a cat. If anything, I was a little afraid of cats. I remember
that my husband and I just started dating before we met Soji. He
liked to tease me and suggested that maybe I should get a cat. He was
out one day and, coincidentally, saw a flier from a neighbor who was
looking for someone to watch her cat for about 2 weeks. He showed it
to me. At the time, I thought, why not? I'd get to earn a few bucks,
the time wasn't long, and it'd be a great chance for me to learn some
cat skills. Before deciding, we went to visit the neighbor, and Soji
simply looked too cute for us to say no, so we brought her home right
away. Unexpectedly, she and I became very close almost instantly. (I
guess I'm a natural, after all!) Before it came time to return her,
we checked in with our neighbor and were surprised when she told us
that if we wanted her, we could keep her (apparently, Soji didn't
quite get along very well with our neighbor's other 3-legged cat.) We
realized... Oh, that's why!
