Tired Kyoku

Kuro, who is undergoing medical treatment, has been staying with us for a week.
We have been tired, and we guess Kyoku is suffering the most: his lifestyle fell into disorder. We guess even easy-going Kyoku has been irritated about Kuro, who suddenly appeared for reasons he doesn’t know, and who gets to have his own way.

Even if we say to him in an insinuating voice that he is the best cat for us, his real life has been:
• His property (including us) is often seized.
• He can’t eat calmly. When he leaves his food, it’s eaten by Kuro.
• He has to share his toilet.
• Kuro often challenges him (we guess).
• A noisy fellow is always around him.
These things are what we think are happening to him. He has probably been under stress. It seems his runny nose has become worse.

So we decided that Chris would let him stay in Chris’ study, which is his most favourite place. During that time, Kuro miaows noisily and sleeps in other rooms.

As we thought, tired Kyoku dozed on Chris’ writing desk. At first, he stretched out his leg and rested his head on it, so Chris gave him his usual dog-face pillow. We took the photo because he is so cute.
That’s why we feel Kyoku is best for us.
