Happy International Cat Day! On August 8th, we celebrate International Cat Day, a special date to recognize, and why not, honor our feline friends. A special moment to dedicate to spreading the importance and care of cats, as well as valuing their loyal and loving companionship. There is no doubt that the company of a cat is a great benefit to our mental and emotional health. So, in honor of this day, I want to share some photos of my dear Salem and how he has grown over this year.
Recuerdo claramente el día que vi a Salem por primera vez. Era muy pequeño y parecía estar muy asustado. Se encontraba muy delgado y enfermo. En los primeros meses que vivimos juntos, estaba muy preocupado por su salud, pero poco a poco fue mejorando. Sin dudas, todo el amor y la paciencia brindaron sus frutos y hoy es un gato grande y saludable.
I clearly remember the day I saw Salem for the first time. He was very small and seemed very scared. He was very thin and sick. In the first few months we lived together, I was very worried about his health, but little by little he improved. Without a doubt, all the love and patience paid off and today he is a big and healthy cat.
Desde el principio, Salem fue muy curioso, siempre buscando en cada rincón y en cada caja, pero con una gran necesidad de espacio personal. Si algo le gusta es que respeten su territorio, enfadándose muy fácilmente. Aunque ahora ha aprendido a convivir con otros gatos, sigue mostrando esta necesidad. Juntos pasamos una mudanza y sé que fue tan difícil para él como para mí. Hoy pasamos los días yo sentado en la computadora y él acostado en la cama, mirando y juzgando todo. Sin dudas, después de momentos tan difíciles, su presencia me reconforta.
From the beginning, Salem was very curious, always searching in every corner and every box, but with a great need for personal space. If there is something he likes, it is that his territory is respected, getting angry very easily. Although he has now learned to live with other cats, he still shows this need. We went through a move together and I know it was as difficult for him as it was for me. Today we spend the days with me sitting at the computer and him lying on the bed, watching and judging everything. Without a doubt, after such difficult moments, his presence comforts me.

De los gatos podemos aprender tanto, desde el respeto por el espacio personal y el tiempo, su curiosidad e independencia, así como ser felices con pocas cosas como una caja de cartón, una siesta o una caricia.
We can learn so much from cats, from respecting personal space and time, their curiosity and independence, as well as being happy with few things like a cardboard box, a nap, or a caress.
