Hola mis queridos hivers, a propósito de que el dia de hoy es 16/09, quería hablarles un poco sobre una integrante de mi familia que llegó a marcarme para siempre y enseñarme miles de cosas.
Ella es Luna.
Mi reina linda de ojos dorados. La encontré un día como hoy en 2021 en mi calle, justo frente a mi casa porque habia dado a luz y uno de sus bebés rodó hacia el medio de la calle, entonces el sonido me guío hasta ella que todavia estaba en trabajo de parto. Recuerdo que estaba oculta bajo un auto y que cuidadosamente tome a su gatito (incluso me puse guantes pq era diminuto) y se lo coloque muy cerca, entonces ella me acarició lentamente con su cabeza. Mi hermana me observaba desde la puerta expectante y en mi mente todavía no tenia idea de que haríamos con ella.
Solo sabiamos que no podíamos dejarla allí porque parecía que pronto iba a llover. La dejamos bajo el auto hasta que acabo de parir y entonces convencí, con ayuda de Fabi, a mi familia de dejarla entrar a casa para que los gatitos no murieran con la lluvia. Estaban un poco reacios a la idea ya que ya teníamos un gato (Kimi) y con el también había costado convencerlos ya que antes de él jamás habíamos tenido gatos en la casa.
Le acomodamos una cajita, para ella y sus bebés y allí paso la noche. Esa noche nos dimos cuenta de lo delgada que estaba y también de que sus bebés eran demasiado pequeños. Esa noche murió el primero y antes de finalizar la semana los 5 gatitos de su camada habían fallecido lamentablemente.
Empezamos a notar que ella parecia saber que sucedería y le brindamos muchos mimos. Decidimos tenerla y buscarle un hogar pero cada vez que te veía, miraba dentro de ti con tanta calma y agradecimiento que fue imposible dejarla ir. Lloré muchas veces pensando como alguien pudo haberla dejado en la calle (porque estaba tan encariñada con los humanos que era imposible no notar que había vivido en una casa). La adoptamos y pronto empezo a sanar sus heridas a ponerse bonita y a engordar.
Era increíble cariñosa, le gustaba frotarse contra tu mano si estabas escribiendo, contra tus pies si estabas caminado y se dejaba cargar como a un bebé. Le tenía un poco de miedo a mis botas de los bomberos pero con el tiempo le enseñe que yo jamás la patearía.
Nunca se llevo lo suficientemente bien con mi Kimi jajaja pero bueno, hicimos todo lo posible por que llevaran una convivencia sana (se pelearon un montón de veces). Kimi muy territorial, Luna muy recelosa de otros gatos.
Con el tiempo y mientras buscabamos de esterilizarla, volvió a estar preñada y entonces trajo a la casa a 6 gatitos más grandes y fuertes. Entre ellos a Othar (de el les hablaré más adelante). Afortunadamente pudimos dar en adopción a 4 de ellos pero Othar y la gata mas pequeña de la camada enfermaron cuando estaban por cumplir los dos meses y la pequeña no sobrevivió. Nos quedamos con Othar entonces.
Descubrimos que no era muy maternal JAJAJA le costaba mucho estarse quieta para amamantar pero se quedaba si la acariciabamos. Siempre nos dejo estar cerca de ella y sus bebés.
La esterilizamos, y se puso muy guapa. Aquel dia descubrimos que era un gato de raza, un Ruso Azul. Se recupero en paz en casa, Kimi respeto mucho su recuperación.
Entonces la gente empezó a preguntar por ella cuando la muraban en la ventana junto a uno. O cuando se salia a dormir sobre el carro de mi tío.
Y entonces llegó el día, en que deje de verla. La esperamos pero empezamos a asustarnos, preguntamos a vecinos, la buscamos pero no la volvimos a ver.
Tuve que comprender que probablemente y como era tan mansa, alguien se la había llevado.
Esto fue en 2022 y a día de hoy me a costado dejar de llorar por ella. Todos en casa la extrañamos mucho y mi esperanza aunque a veces se enfríe, no desaparece.
La amo tan intensamente aún, y le estoy eternamente agradecida por llegar hasta mí. Espero Dios me la cuide, en donde quiera que este.
Hello, my dear Hivers. Since today is September 16, I wanted to tell you a little bit about a member of my family who left a lasting impression on me and taught me thousands of things.
Her name is Luna.
My beautiful queen with golden eyes. I found her on a day like today in 2021 on my street, right in front of my house, because she had given birth and one of her babies rolled into the middle of the street, so the sound led me to her, who was still in labor. I remember she was hidden under a car, and I carefully picked up her kitten (I even put on gloves because it was so tiny) and placed it very close to her, and then she slowly caressed me with her head. My sister was watching me expectantly from the doorway, and I still had no idea what we were going to do with her.
We only knew that we couldn't leave her there because it looked like it was going to rain soon. We left her under the car until she finished giving birth, and then, with Fabi's help, I convinced my family to let her into the house so the kittens wouldn't die in the rain. They were a little reluctant to the idea since we already had a cat (Kimi), and it had been difficult to convince them to take him in since we had never had cats in the house before.
We made a little box for her and her babies, and she spent the night there. That night, we realized how thin she was and that her babies were too small. The first one died that night, and before the week was over, all five kittens in her litter had sadly passed away.
We began to notice that she seemed to know what was going to happen, so we gave her lots of cuddles. We decided to keep her and find her a home, but every time she saw you, she looked at you with such calmness and gratitude that it was impossible to let her go. I cried many times thinking about how someone could have left her on the street (because she was so fond of humans that it was impossible not to notice that she had lived in a home). We adopted her, and she soon began to heal her wounds, become beautiful, and gain weight.
She was incredibly affectionate. She liked to rub against your hand if you were writing, against your feet if you were walking, and she let you carry her like a baby. She was a little afraid of my firefighter boots, but over time I taught her that I would never kick her.
She never got along very well with my Kimi, ha ha ha, but we did our best to ensure they had a healthy relationship (they fought a lot). Kimi was very territorial, and Luna was very suspicious of other cats.
Over time, while we were trying to get her spayed, she got pregnant again and brought home six bigger, stronger kittens. Among them was Othar (I'll tell you more about him later). Fortunately, we were able to give four of them up for adoption, but Othar and the smallest cat in the litter got sick when they were about two months old, and the little one didn't survive. So we kept Othar.
We discovered that she wasn't very maternal, ha ha ha. She had a hard time staying still to nurse, but she would stay if we held her. She always let us be close to her and her kittens.
We had her spayed, and she became very beautiful. That day we discovered she was a purebred cat, a Russian Blue. She recovered peacefully at home, and Kimi was very respectful of her recovery.
Then people started asking about her when they saw her sitting in the window next to one of them. Or when she went out to sleep on my uncle's car.
And then the day came when I stopped seeing her. We waited for her, but we started to get scared. We asked the neighbors and looked for her, but we never saw her again.
I had to understand that, since she was so tame, someone had probably taken her.
This was in 2022, and to this day, I have had a hard time stopping myself from crying for her. Everyone at home misses her very much, and although my hope sometimes fades, it never disappears.
I still love her so intensely, and I am eternally grateful to her for coming into my life. I hope God is watching over her, wherever she may be.
