Little Yellow and Little Gray

I am the mom of two cats. Both are boys and both were born in May 2017. Their names are “little yellow” and “little gray”. When I introduced their names to my friends, they said “you must have tried really hard to come up with those names”. I did, but it was a sad story that I won’t mention here.

As a Chinese mom, sometimes I can be a little pushy. I am not expecting them to cook, read a book, or go to college, but perhaps they could learn to high five or meow back when I call their names, just like my friend’s Siamese cat does.

Now they have passed their critical age of learning new skills, and I have accepted the fact that they are just ordinary cats who lock themselves in every closet, play with the spring under the door in the middle of the night, and sit in my bed right after they get out from their litter box.

They are stupidly happy cats, and I would like to think that they love me deeply.
