Post 4: My Pets

Before I came to Santiago for studying, I used to live in a farm in Putaendo with my parents. There I had a lot of different pets, like chickens, rabbits, geese, a horse, a pig and cats. I’m going to talk about my cats because they are my closest pets (not like the pig, which I ate). I remember when I was really young, we had a cat called “Sebastian”. He was black and white, and he was very lazy. One day he desapeared but I didn’t feel sad, because I knew animals were free to go or to die, that’s something you learn in the countyside. Then a new cat came by herself, we called her “Frau Caramelo”, she was blond or ginger. Years later she had a lot of babycats…. That happened like five times over the years so we always had new litters of cats growing up. It was really cute to see them in the whole process. Frau Caramelo died very very old. Like her, other cats came too and became part of this big family. Now we have a new matriarch "Sémola", who's daughter has had a litter too. For clarification, all these cats live outside the house, they are free to go hunting or playing or resting wherever they want and they never try to go inside. In this exact moment, we have 12 cats. Now that I don’t live there anymore, my relashionship is not the same because the little ones do not know me very well, but I still love them, and I feel grateful of this beautiful experience to relate with this beings who know all about freedom and nothing about bureaucracy.
