DP Daily Prompt: First Sight

April 23, 2015

Whether a person,a pet, an object or a place , write about something or someone you connected with from the very first second.

About a year ago, my daughter and I decided to adopt a kitten. It is a beautiful Siamese and Himalayan breed .When we got the feline ,he was only six weeks old.

I remember it was a Sunday,my daughter brought him home. He was a very scared feline,next day my daughter went to work, I was curious, I went to check how he was coping.I was concerned when I didn’t find him in the room.I knew he was too scared and little to move.

I picked the covers, there he was with his paws folded trying to make himself smaller. I picked him up and brought him down to my room.

I had some emails to reply to , I laid him on my bed he was insecure he meowed quietly. I felt guilty picked him up and wrote my email with him on my lap.

We named him Gabriel, even after a week he didn’t settle in, we then made up our mind to get his brother who was the  same age as him. His personality changed dramatically , his brother was feeling insecure, he licked his brother, showed his brother the stairs, but the brother was afraid to climb up.

Gabriel led him towards the stairs and went couple of stairs to show him how to go up, it took them both only a few days to adjust. We named the second one Raphael.

They are very happy, they turned a year old on February 25th. For me and my daughter it was ” Love At First Sight!”
