Please let me introduce you my two cats:
The furry one's Tara, the little Queen of my house. I love her and (I know that!) she loves me, even if she shows it in a very particular way, such as biting or scratching my hands... However, when I'm blue, she comes to me, and begins to purr... and she cuddle me, in the sweetest way you can imagine.
The smiling one is Ichinen (that means "Determination"). I'm Buddhist, and sometimes I like to look at it, when I'm "chanting*", because I would like to be like it: Smiling, no matter what happens. :D
