On a Saturday in June, my kids and I finally convinced my husband to consider to adopt a pet kitten. That morning we drove to RSPCA, hoping to see the kittens before anyone else. As we walked into the kitten area, a small grey and white bundle of fluff hoping around in his little cage annoying his brothers and sisters, caught our eyes. It was love at first at sight. My kids, husband and I immediately fell in love with him. We bought him home and named him Henry. Five years passed by and Henry grew up to be the most handsome cat we have ever seen. Every time he comes home from his daily outdoor sessions, my family lights up with joy. After his meals he would accompany me with my household activities, or walk on my husband’s keyboard as he’s doing work, or cuddle with my daughter. Whenever my family gathers in the living room to spend time together, Henry makes sure he’s there to receive cuddles. My family and I have created a special bond with our cat, in which we don’t treat him as a pet, we treat him as a family member.
