橙猫は、猫が大好き

Orange cat loves cats

Orange Cat only makes cat-themed accessories.

Today I would like to talk about why I love cats so much.

However, by the time I was old enough to understand things, I was already a cat lover as a child.
However, I am allergic to cats, my father hates cats, and we live in an apartment where animals are not allowed.

Anyway, during my childhood, my circumstances were such that it was not possible to have a cat, so having one was just a dream.
Because my wish could never come true, my longing for a cat grew and grew.

When I was in elementary school, I became best friends with a girl who lived in the Cat House.
There were about 10 cats there. They had all been abandoned.
I'm so jealous.

"When I grow up, I'm definitely going to get a cat! Along with a liter of eye drops!"

From that time on, this phrase became my catchphrase.
This marks the beginning of my days of trying to find a way to live with a cat, even if I have allergies.

Thankfully, by the time I reached junior high school, my allergies had subsided considerably and I only experienced symptoms occasionally.
But I still live in an apartment and my dream of owning a cat remains unfulfilled.

So it has become a daily routine for me to walk outside and look for cats.
Between houses. Under a car. In the shadow of something.
It was around this time that my friends started asking me, "Does it have a sensor to find cats?"

I left high school and then my hometown to go to college.
Even though she started living alone, she couldn't afford to keep a cat, and her yearning for a cat only grew stronger.
By this time, I had become quite good at communicating with stray cats.

I was allowed to pet him and sometimes he even sat on my lap.
He was the odd one out, and once he found a cat willing to pay attention to him, he would spend 30 minutes or even an hour with it.

And a third year university student.
I met a weirdo just like me who had the same cat sensor as me and could play with a stray cat for an hour.
That's my husband.

When two weird cat-loving people get together, there's only one thing they can do.
"I'll get a cat no matter what!"

After many twists and turns, we built a house and welcomed our first cat into our home.
"Whether you choose a pet shop or a rescue cat, you should think it through carefully and make a decision."
That's what he said.

I came across a really strange cat in the pet section of a home improvement store.
The moment I picked him up, he purred.
Licking all over her face.
This is not about dogs. It's about cats.

In the end, he even licked my mouth, and I thought, "I'm definitely going to have this girl!"
It was an instant decision. I completely forgot my original intentions.
My mother later told me, "You didn't choose the cat. The cat chose you."

The cat we have in our home right now is a Scottish Fold named Toto, who is a bit timid but loves people.
When I brought him home and opened his cage, he jumped out purring. He explored the house with all his might, playing with his toys, and five minutes later he was trying to climb the stairs with his little body.

The admiration for cats that had been building up since my childhood finally exploded when Toto came into my home.
I update my love for cats every day.
That's why I'm a cat artist. I only make cats. I hope my works reach someone who loves cats as much as I do.
