Before I came to Jakarta, I used to hate cats. I imagined them to be very selfish, sneaky, and sly. However, I have found myself living in a home that has three cats.
Janu and Shinta are my host mother’s cats. Janu is a funny male Persian cat with full of curiosity. He eats cat food every single hour, so he has a big belly.
He moves his tail when he finds something exciting. But, he always moves his tail slowly when I call his name. He always sleeps beside me in every night. A good thing I like about him, Janu doesn’t minds if I touch and tickle his fat belly.
Shinta is a queen of the house. She walks like a professional model. She doesn’t like to be touched by me except my host mother. Even if I try to touch her, she runs away immediately from me. She always licks her fur to clean her body. She prefers to eat people’s foods to cat foods. She never plays with the other cats. She spends almost every night on my host mother’s bed.
