No. 284 The story introduced this time

Here, we feature stories that have become topics on the internet and in the news as "stories so moving they bring tears to your eyes," along with videos uploaded to YouTube and other platforms.

This time, we are introducing a post written by a man who shares memories of his pet cat, who passed away after having cherished him just like a sister would. Regarding the posting date,


summary siteI confirmed the post from February 17, 2006, based on what is published there, but I apologize if this is incorrect.

There was a YouTube video based on this story, so I will introduce it as well.

Post content

Half a year ago, the cat I was raising died.

She was 23 years old.

My parents had been undergoing fertility treatment a long time ago, but they gave up on having children and started raising Chiharu.

According to my mother, that was the name she wanted to give me if a girl had been born.

Less than a year after they started raising her, my mother became pregnant (the doctor apparently called it a miracle),
and because it was a long-awaited pregnancy, it seems all our relatives told them to "get rid of the cat."

But my parents stubbornly refused, and then I was born.

Chiharu seemed to be very fond of children; she cherished me deeply and was always by my side.

In my old photos, she is almost always there.

No matter how late I came home, she would come to the entrance to welcome me.

On cold days, she would crawl into my futon and sleep with her head on my arm.

When I was on the PC, she would be on my lap.

When female classmates came over to the house, she would be quite cold to them, even if she didn't go as far as to threaten them.

I wonder if that was jealousy after all?

But, she was friendly to only one person from the very beginning, wasn't she?

Purring away.

Yes, my current wife.

Did you know, Chiharu?

I wonder if you were saying, "Please take care of him for me."

When I confided in you that I was thinking of proposing to her, you looked straight up at me, didn't you?

And the day after I reported that she had said yes, you passed away.

I thought, "Why at a time like this?" but when I think about it, perhaps you felt, "Now I can rest easy."

When she was alive, my parents often said, "It doesn't matter how many tails you grow, just stay by our side as long as you can. But please let us be the ones to see you off."

At the time, I laughed and said, "What are you talking about?" but I felt exactly the same way.

I'm sorry I couldn't be honest.

Chiharu.

Even now, and forever, you are my best "big sister."

Please watch over the nephews and nieces who will be born from now on.
