Animals Are Essential

It wasn't complicated: she was perfect.


Eva, my muse
EVA

I said seeing her for the first time.


Today, I call her Gargoyle when she comes in from her morning nap, her hair all muddled, not yet groomed, moving forward like a crab wanting to impress me;


Laylou when she looks at me and says “I'm listening to you Gargoyle” in her so amusing awkwardness;


Bouboule, when she snuggled up against me;


my Eva when she consoles me, my angel protecting me with her claws when together we play ardently.


Her mother, her life, her luck in bad luck


All these emotions of happiness and joy reside in this name: EVA.


Her mother had had three litters in her sad life. The first of 4 kittens, all stillborn. The second ? 3 stillborn kittens. But the 3rd, 4 kittens of which only EVA survived, which made her an exceptional cat, in my opinion.


Born on April 15, 2013, I was able to adopt her two months later, on June 15.


Her mother's master was concerned about breastfeeding.


I had her in my arms. I wanted her to be reassured. I gathered everything good I had in me and transmitted it to her with my listening, my kindness and all my love. Our meeting was memorable.


I place her on the ground as if I were putting a child in its cradle. She is at her place. What a beautiful unsteady gait that seemed to say “sit down, I’m coming!”.


Eva came into my life to comfort me, but I didn't know it yet.


Good luck


At that moment, I didn't yet realize that she would change my life. The life of a proud and accomplished man, hard and uncompromising.


Good luck. I was so far from what I thought, I now had the responsibility of a fragile and vulnerable being.


I shouldn't make any mistakes.


It's stronger than me, I have to take it back. I can't leave her on the floor, she felt so good in my arms.


Sweet lie, I prefer to hold her, rub my face on this amazing being who amazes me with her softness. Her smell. Her eyes, very blue at that time. Even today, in the light of the sun, a shy bluish tint is revealed in her eyes, like a masterpiece by a great painter.


Her eyes are incomparable. Nestled against my neck, I live again.


Everything is explained.


Animals are essential. I am not worthy to receive her, there are many things missing to make her comfortable, she can not only live on love. If that were the case, I wouldn't ask any questions. Food, toys, beds, cat trees as well as a wide range of products; but it was not long before I understood her language; no more rash spending, now we make practical choices.


Stay tuned for part 2 of Eva's story, the beloved cat and the inspiration for this beautiful project that is Cat Chase.
