Tianya orphan

One

One day, a stray female cat came to Matika, a suburb of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. It gave birth to four kittens in an abandoned shack: three dark gray male cats and a light brown kitten.

When the kittens were a few weeks old, their mothers abandoned them and went stray on their own.

Without their mother. The four poor little orphans go out to forage during the day, and at dusk, they go back to their birthplace, which is their "home", to spend the night. Maybe it's to keep warm, maybe it's to comfort each other, they are always cuddled tightly together - you are next to me, I am squeezing you, and it looks like a big mottled fur ball, and it goes up and down with the breath...

The days passed, and as the kittens grew up, they foraged and played farther and farther from home, and farther and farther from each other. On this day, one of the little female cat's gray-haired brothers did not return to "home" as usual, and it has not returned since then. A few days later, another gray-haired brother disappeared, followed by a third!

Little Mimi didn't know where her brothers went or if they were still alive.

Having lost her mother and her brother, little Mimi has to go out alone to find food and a place to spend the night.

Although only three months old, little Mimi, this little homeless person, has already experienced the bitterness of wandering: it has been bitten by vicious dogs, beaten by women taking out garbage, frightened by rampaging jeeps, and chased by eagles hovering overhead. Even in the bushes, it has no peace in its own "temporary residence", and is often frightened by the terrifying cry of owls...

Two.

Just when Xiao Mimi was wandering for almost a month, a little girl who came home from school found it.

"Oh! There's a little Mimi here! Mimi, come here! Come here!" The little girl's voice was sweet and melodious, and she didn't sound malicious at all.

Little Mimi didn't understand what the little girl meant, so she tilted her head and looked at her, and her expression was like a robin looking at a caterpillar.

The little girl hurriedly squatted down, opened the lunch box, and said to little Mimi, "Mimi, come here! Come here!" Mimi licked her mouth and began to approach the little girl little by little...

In order to make Mimi completely disarm, the little girl tore a small piece from the leftover sandwich she had eaten at noon and threw it at it. Mimi immediately rushed over and swallowed the food in one bite. It was so hungry.

The little girl tore a second piece. This time, the food was thrown closer to the little girl.

Tempted by the first piece of delicious food, Mimi was still wary, but she couldn't help but move slowly towards the food. Suddenly, it jumped up one by one, and the second piece of food entered its mouth. The little girl tore a third piece. This time. The food happened to fall on the little girl's tennis shoes. It was obviously a trick, but little Mimi still planned to get the delicious food to her mouth. It stood firm and leaned forward as much as possible, but the bread was still a few inches away. Little Mimi had to move forward a little more, then quickly stretched out its front paws, grabbed the bread, and threw it into its wet mouth.

At the moment when Xiao Mimi grabbed the bread, the little girl jumped forward and hugged it into her arms.

The seven-year-old girl put her arms around it awkwardly, slapped it with her little hands, and shook it back and forth like a baby. Her hair, little face, and chest were all tightly pressed against Little Mimi. She lifted Little Mimi up again, sang to it face to face, talked to it...

To be honest, the little girl's caress was not gentle at all, but the little Mimi still stayed in her arms honestly, letting her touch and slap. When the little girl lifted it up, it quietly picked up its golden eyes and stared at her, as if it could understand the songs she sang and what she said...

It's time to go home. The little girl quickly put Little Mimi on the ground, picked up the book and lunch box, and shouted to Little Mimi as she walked:

"Let's go! Mimi, it's time for us to go home. Keep up! Keep up!"

In this way, the little girl walked in front, and the little boobs followed behind. The setting sun in the west left a beautiful silhouette of the man and the cat...

It's home. The little girl wrapped her "little doll" with a soft towel, and then put it in a box she found temporarily. This is Little Mimi's "home". Compared with the cold "home" of the abandoned shack, and compared with the "home" in the bushes on the way to wander, how warm and safe this "home" is! Little Mimi soon fell asleep.

Unfortunately, its luck didn't last long - the little girl opened a safe door for it with the key hanging around her neck, but before it could finish its dream, the little girl's father drove it out of the same door! The little girl's cry was shut in the door, it was shut out.

Never hear the happy voice of the little girl again! Never eat such delicious food again! There is no place to hide from the vicious dog!

For the next week, every morning and every evening, Little Mimi would come to the corridor of the little girl's house. How much it wanted to see that kind-hearted little girl again! However, it never saw her again. Only once, the little girl put a small bowl of milk for it in the corner of the house, but this kind of good deed was discovered again, so Little Mimi was driven away again, and its wandering life began again...

Three

Day after day, little Mimi is doing the same thing: looking for food, finding shelter, and a place to hide from risk. Sometimes, it encounters pampered pet cats, who almost always wear strange-style collars around their necks with phone numbers engraved on them, showing their owner's love for them. They eat delicious food and live in warm, safe, and gorgeous huts. They are clean all over, and their fur is smooth and moist like silk. They never need to be frightened, so their eyes are always so calm and peaceful.

Little Mimi didn't realize the difference between himself and the pet cat, and he happily ran over to play with them. However, pet cat owners are very aware of this difference. In their opinion, stray cats like Little Mimi are not qualified and don't deserve to play with their cats at all. So, they unceremoniously drove it away.

With her tail hanging down, Mimi walked away in frustration.

"Look there, there's a kitten! Let's see who can hit it!" A group of street rascals saw Little Mimi and they threw stones at it. Little Mimi ran forward in fright.

"It's gone! It's gone! Look at me, I'm going to get it back," said a guy in a beanie and sneakers.

The "two-legged beast" caught Little Mimi effortlessly, holding its little tail to show off his victory to his companions. He was so proud that he remembered burning Little Mimi's nose with a cigarette butt. Mimi was probably in great pain, and rewarded the rogue with a few paw prints.

"Okay! You'little mouse '! How dare you catch me! See if I don't give you some power!" Saying that, the rogue threw Little Mimi to the ground with a "snap", and flew up and kicked it on its body...

Hungry, homeless, and now, with serious internal injuries - why is fate so cruel to little Mimi? Why does it have no parents, no siblings and companions? Where has mother gone? Doesn't it know that little Mimi misses it? Brother, what about its childhood companions? Just disappeared for no apparent reason? Can't they come back to accompany little Mimi?

When hunger devoured Little Mimi, it often felt that one of its relatives was standing across the road. Of course, it was just a phantom, and standing across the road was actually a stray cat like it. This strange stray cat was not interested in friendship, its only interest was to defend its territory.

Apart from comforting herself, what else could Little Mimi do? It licked its right paw, lowered its head, closed its eyes, and slowly, over and over again, wiped its face and the areas around it...

However, doing so did not seem to be able to fill its stomach and satisfy its thirst for love, so it changed its method and made a "gurgling" sound from its throat. When the pleasure of the trembling sound on the tip of its tongue disappeared, it dragged its injured body back and forth in front of the bushes (now its home), uttering a whimper like a cry...

Four.

A man from Texas heard little Mimi's cry. At the time, he was staying in a luxury hotel not far from Mimi's "home". At first, he didn't plan to pay attention to the disturbing cry, but the cry, which seemed to speak and whine, was like an invisible hand, beckoning him, pulling him, and causing him to walk out of the hotel involuntarily...

In the bushes not far from the hotel, a bony kitten was shivering.

"Poor kitten, how long have you been hungry? Wait, I'll go get you something to eat." Saying that, the man returned to the hotel, took back a can of tuna, opened it, and slowly pushed the food towards little Mimi...

Over the next few days, the men came to see Little Mimi at about the same time and brought it leftover meat.

One night, he squatted beside Little Mimi to watch it eat, and suddenly thought that it was time to give Mimi a bath, so he took it back to the hotel.

Mimi's tiny body had both scrapes and contusions, and that fatal kick even broke its bones. Although the man's action of scrubbing its body was very light, when his fingers accidentally touched the broken bone, Mimi would still shiver with pain, but the warm water and kind touch made it feel that the pain seemed to be relieved.

After taking a shower, the man wrapped the little boobs in a towel and put them on the couch, and then patted the two pillows softly and placed them on either side of it, so that the boobs had a very comfortable nest. After all this, the man went to prepare for the next day's work.

When the man was busy with his business, Xiao Mimi lay motionless in its little nest, her golden eyes had been following him, silently watching his every move.

After finishing work, the man turned off the light and went to bed. However, Little Mimi quit and cried loudly and protestingly. The man turned on the lamp by the bed and noticed a painful and pleading expression on Little Mimi's face, so he rolled over and got out of bed, put Little Mimi on the bed, and let it lie beside him.

Little Mimi climbed to the man's hand, and the little head drilled into his palm desperately. Under the comfort of the man's big hands, it gradually quieted down and made a satisfactory "grunt" sound. However, as long as his movements slowed down or stopped, Mimi's little head drilled into his big palm, as if commanding or begging: Touch me! Touch me!

"Oh, you insatiable little fellow!" The man smiled, as if he understood Little Mimi's inner longing, or rather his own inner longing.

"Mimi, what exactly do you need? Are you as lonely as I am? Are you as eager for love as I am?" he asked in an almost whispered voice.

These words, though spoken to the kitten, had an effect on himself, making him feel that these questions seemed to be a torture of his own soul.

For many years, his mind has been devoted to work, he regards home as a burden, he spends more time in hotels than at home, and more time with clients than with relatives.

Yes, he was successful: he was rich, respected, and visible wherever he went, but he also paid a price for his success: his wife left him, his kids wouldn't answer his phone...

If wealth can only make a man lonely, what does he want wealth for? If success is only loneliness, what does success mean to him? Those seemingly stupid love songs are actually quite right: if no one loves you, you are nothing.

In far-flung Manila, an encounter with a stray cat made him understand: family is a person's real wealth. If he can regain the love of his wife and children, what price is he unwilling to pay!

At some point before dawn, little Mimi screamed again hurriedly. The scream woke the man, and he subconsciously reached out to Mimi, but this time, Mimi didn't lean her head over. The man felt that something was wrong, got up, turned on the light, and gently lifted Mimi's chin -

Mimi looked very painful, and it looked at him with a poignant, help-seeking look, as if he was its protector and could help it relieve its pain.

"You'll be fine! Mimi, you'll be fine..." the man said softly.

Mimi blinked, the cry gradually weakened, it was about to die.

The man's heart was sore, and tears immediately blurred his eyes...

He weeps for little boobs: poor little creature, who once longed so much for his touch, but can no longer move. He weeps for his children: he never loved them well, never hugged them, never gave them the love they deserve as a father when they needed him; he weeps for his wife: he loves her, but loves her so half-heartedly, he doesn't give her as much time as he gives to his business partner... He weeps for his countless failures to ignore "small", and now all of them are on display before his eyes. Will the loved ones forgive him? He closed his eyes in pain...

Mimi swallowed her last breath in the man's arms. Its expression was peaceful, because it found love in the last days of its life, and it left this world with love. Perhaps, this is God's compensation for the pain it suffered? As for the man from Texas, this brief encounter with little Mimi finally made him understand the true meaning of home and made him understand that love is a real wealth. It should be said that this is also the most precious gift God gave him, right?
