Jorge Amado, a
well known brazilian writer, says
in one of his books that "a
happy life inspires no romance..."
I think that's quite true, and
since my life has been a
happy one, don't expect big events
or emotions here, there are just
little bits of every day.
I was born in the city of Belo
Horizonte, State Minas Gerais ,
Brazil on 28 / jun / 1990
and
in all these years I was
a day ill. I control my humans
pretty well and all that is
somehow possible conforms to my
wishes. To tell you how I arrived
here at 2 and a half month
age, I'll make a big exception and
let my human, Ro Consoli (the one
who helps me with my
page) speak:Hi, everybody !
Thought my husband Roberto and me
had owned cats before, we
hesitated to get a new one mainly
because of the problem that
travels represented, since
there
are no catteries
deserving this name here. Then it
happened that some friends went
aboard and left their siamese cat
with us, and lo! ... no problems
at all !! In the newspaper
there were
two adds offering
siamese kitties. We saw the first
litter - well kept, healthy
kitties with their tame, unruffled
parents by their side (too
unruffled perhaps..? ). All was
as we had
wished but... well,
let's just take a look at the
other ones ! We arrived at the
far away address, at a much
smaller house, rang the bell and
after telling the woman that we
were the
people that phoned
about the kitty she asked us to
take a seat "just for a
moment" and disappeared inside the
house.

I took the little
one in my hands and at once it
looked up at me... such a
sharp, appraising glance !... and
while the mother was explaining
to Roberto that she loved
her cats and kept them well
and that is was not her fault
that this one was so tiny and
meagre, the boy went on,
confidentially, to me: We, and a
somewhat tired looking mother
went
back and the boy brought the
siamese mother, looking exactly
as Méia looks today. She
perceived at once what was
happening, shot a sharp glance at
me and Roberto, at her kitty
in
my hands, and than she and
the kitty looked up at me !Well,
that settled it !
The kitty became Méia, after
Meméia, a little mischievous
witch cartoon character that
appears
in "Luluzinha" ("Little Lulu" in
USA, I think) and honored her
name thoroughly.
But here is she, waging her tail
for some time and now even
putting her ears back... let's
give her the word quickly!
At last ! I saw a longer "short
story"! and what is it all about
? humans, all the time ! Next
time, no fear, I'll write my story
myself !!
