When I first started looking for a pet cat, I wanted an adult cat named Miao Miao. She was a beautiful cat who looked very friendly. But I didn't bring her home in the end -- a family took her before I could. So the pet adoption center suggested that I take a different cat instead -- a baby cat named Xiaohei.
But there is something special about Xiaohei, whose new name is Egon. He cannot see. This means he sometimes needs extra care. By the time the center introduced him to me, he was about 4 or 5 months old. No one else wanted him. I wasn't sure at first. He was so small - it would take him a long time to grow up. I wasn't sure if I could look after a young cat. And it might be hard to take care of a cat that can't see. Would I be able to take care of him properly?
But as soon as I met him, I knew he was the cat for me. He is very clever and funny. He loves to play and run around. Even though he can't see, he is very interested in the world around him.
He has become good at getting around my home. He knows where every table or chair is and he has no problem finding his way around. He is naughty sometimes, but most of the time he is a good little cat. Best of all, he sleeps right next to me every night. Every morning, I wake up and give him a big hug. He doesn't have to be able to see me to know that I love him.
