It’s finally done!

After a rainy long weekend, when we were scared of the strong typhoon No.4 and surprised at the M6.8 earthquake in Niigata, the sun finally came out, so we took Kuro to the animal clinic for his shots (which we were going to do around 2 July).

We know Kuro’s vaccine is only once a year, but to hear Kuro’s sad crying when he was put in the cat bag in the basket, it brought a pain to my stomach.
At the animal clinic, we tried to finish up as quickly as possible, but even so Kuro seemed to be sweating on the counter. When we think about his fighting with the vet last year, this time he was a really good boy compared to his past behaviour! He is the kind of cat that is basically frightened of everything and panics easily.

When we went back home, we found he had a scratched red nose because he was twisting around in the cat bag too much.

So, among our three cats, what does Kuro do the best, or has the most of?
Appearance: he has the most beautiful eyes, the heaviest body, the biggest stomach, the shortest legs, the shortest tail, the longest nose, and the whitest and sharpest teeth.
Other points:
He has a very good appetite. (If we fed him as much as he wants, he would throw it all up.)
He feels loneliness the most. (He always wants to be with someone.)
He likes to be close to someone the most. (We don’t know why, but he usually tries to be close to us hips-first.)
He is scared the most. (He must have had a hard time when he was a garden cat. However, he often challenges Kyoku with unknown confidence.)
He is most like a dog. (Please imagine a pug. When we throw his favourite toy, he fetches it.)
