After having a kitten

(edited)
Confess your love to Nuo Nuo

In the blink of an eye, it has been two years since I met Nuo Nuo in the vast sea of ​​cats. In the past two years, Nuo Nuo has been the animal in the world that has accompanied me most every day and night. In the past two years, day and night, before going to bed at night, I have to take her out of her cat's nest and sleep next to her. During the day, I have to hold her and kiss her for a while when she opens her eyes to prevent her from staying in bed.


When I first picked up Nuo Nuo, I really didn’t know what kind of name to give it. I thought about calling it sushi because I like to eat sushi, but it seems that many animals are named after what they eat. I also thought about liking Su Shi, so I called her Dongpo, but she really didn't look like a cultural cat who would lament that a bamboo stick and mango shoes beat a horse. Later, he took her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor also lamented that the little one's hair was so soft, and he thought of the word "糯". But the name "Nuo Nuo" is too similar to a small animal. I want to pamper her like a daughter, hence: Nuo Nuo.

When reading the original French text of "The Little Prince", the fox considers the emotion to be tame and approvoser.

The fox said to the little prince that people in the world buy ready-made things from stores, but friendship cannot be bought in stores. The fox knew that the little prince loved a rose on a distant planet, but he still asked the little prince if he could tame it.

The fox said that if it is tamed, it will be different from thousands of little foxes in the world.

After being domesticated, it will be able to distinguish the footsteps of the little prince coming to find it among the thousands of complicated sounds in the world.

"It's the same thing. It's different. It's different. It's different."

After the little prince heard this, he thought of the days when he watered roses, picked insects, and blocked the sun on his own planet. After understanding the true meaning of taming from the fox, he returned to the rose garden on Earth and told all the roses that his roses were different from them. The rose on the earth in front of him has never been tamed by anyone, nor has it been tamed by anyone.

When I was young, I would frown when reading about tameness, thinking that relationships should be equal in attraction and companionship. With Nuo Nuo, I realized that there could be many kittens in the world, but she was the only one tamed by me. Because she is tame, she can distinguish my footsteps and starts complaining that I get home too late before I even open the door.


The lyrics of Champs Elysees sing about romantic encounters that can happen in Paris. What can be bought on the Champs Elysées, there are opportunities that can "apprivoiser" anyone. If we are on the streets of the Champs Elysees, even if we were strangers yesterday, we can be together tonight, from midnight to early morning. It doesn’t matter who the person is, it doesn’t matter if it’s you or him. Even if it's just for one night, talking and being close to each other is enough.

"N'importe qui et ce fut toi, je t'ai dit n'importe quoi, Il suffisait de te parler, pour t'apprivoiser"

《Hier soir deux inconnus et ce matin sur l'avenue》

Before Nuo Nuo, the world seemed to be like what was sung in this song. The Champs Elysées is an endlessly changing and colorful paradise, with thousands of routes for you to walk. All kinds of people appear, leaving deep or shallow plots. This is of course very good. You can come and go naked without any worries, which can be good or bad.

Two and a half years after meeting Nuo Nuo, she began to become an absolutely certain thing in my world. It's like...sailing the ocean with an anchor. More than one night, when I stayed up late to write essays, when I was anxious about admission, when I was complacent because I did well in the exam... whenever I looked back, she was fast asleep without thinking.

I always feel that meeting her is a very happy thing, because Nuo Nuo chose me to be her human. From then on, I am different from other human beings in the world. The only condition attached to her love for me was probably a little cat strip from time to time.
