Lunita
Saludos para todos mis estimados Hivers. Les deseo que estén pasando un lindo momento entre familia y amigos. Mediante el siguiente escrito quiero presentarles a Lunita, una de mis tiernas mascotitas.
Greetings to all my dear Hivers. I hope you are having a great time with family and friends. By means of the following writing I want to introduce you to Lunita, one of my tender little pets.
Un 19 de marzo de 2021, siendo las 7:46 a.m. y en plena cuarentena decretada por la pandemia del COVID-19, llegó a nuestro hogar una pequeñita minina que me regaló una querida amiga. Era tan pequeñita que parecía de juguete. Recuerdo que ese día la subí a un murito que da hacia el patio de la casa y le tomé una foto. Como por instinto apoyó su patita derecha en el marco de la puerta y me miró con sus tiernos ojitos. Sentí amor a primera vista. Era muy activa y cualquier lugar era bueno para ella curiosear y luego quedarse dormida. Comía la masita de la arepa y tomaba leche y agua en dos tapitas de envases de mantequilla. Lucía de lo más graciosa. Cuando mis hijos la vieron quedaron fascinados con ella y me preguntaron qué nombre le iba a poner. Luego de considerar varias opciones decidimos llamarla Lunita debido a los colores negro y blanco de su pelaje.
On March 19, 2021, at 7:46 a.m. and in the middle of the quarantine decreed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a tiny kitten arrived at our home, given to me by a dear friend. She was so tiny that she looked like a toy. I remember that day I climbed up on a little wall overlooking the backyard and took a picture of her. As if by instinct, she leaned her right paw on the door frame and looked at me with her tender little eyes. I felt love at first sight. She was very active and any place was good for her to browse and then fall asleep. She was eating her arepa and drinking milk and water from two little lids of butter containers. She looked the funniest. When my children saw her they were fascinated with her and asked me what I was going to name her. After considering several options we decided to name her Lunita because of the black and white colors of her fur.
Algo que ella disfrutaba muchísimo era dormir en mi regazo. Para eso se paraba a mis pies y maullaba bajito hasta que yo la cargaba y la acostaba en mis piernas. Entonces le cantaba y ella cerraba sus ojitos poquito a poquito hasta que se dormía. Eso para mí era demasiado hermoso aunque significaba que yo tenía que pasar largo rato en la misma posición y sin moverme para no despertarla. Me hormigueaban las piernas y los pies y yo allí, como una estatua. Mis hijos se reían al verla de lo más tranquila.
One thing she really enjoyed was sleeping on my lap. She would stand at my feet and meow softly until I carried her and laid her on my lap. Then I would sing to her and she would close her eyes little by little until she fell asleep. That was too beautiful for me even though it meant that I had to spend a long time in the same position without moving so as not to wake her up. My legs and feet were tingling and I lay there like a statue. My children laughed at the sight of her looking so peaceful.
Como los gatos son animalitos un tanto voluntariosos, hubo un tiempo en que se ponía a jugar con mis cholas hasta que se metía en una de ellas y se quedaba dormida. Así que yo me tenía que quedar descalza. Todo un personaje esta Lunita. También le gustaba meterse debajo del mesón de la cocina y acurrucarse en cualquier objeto que estuviera allí. Era muy divertido observarla porque generalmente se acostaba sobre su lomito y se quedaba tan dormidita como que el mundo no existiera.
Since cats are somewhat willful little animals, there was a time when she would play with my cholas until she got into one of them and fell asleep. So I had to stay barefoot. She was quite a character, this Lunita. She also liked to crawl under the kitchen counter and curl up on whatever object was there. It was a lot of fun to watch her because she would usually lay on her little back and fall asleep as if the world didn't exist.
Pero sin duda alguna lo que más disfrutábamos era cuando se acercaba a mi perrito Kminito (de quien les hablaré en otro post) para hacerle travesuras. Con las paticas le agarraba la colita o se las pasaba por el lomito. También se le acostaba al lado o intentaba agarrarle su cunita. Eran momentos sumamente divertidos porque ella quería jugar, pero como él es tan tranquilo se fastidiaba rápido y se iba para otro lado. Son muchas las anécdotas con esta gatita hermosa, pero las escribiré en otro post.
But without a doubt what we enjoyed the most was when she would approach my little dog Kminito (who I will tell you about in another post) to play pranks on him. With her paws she would grab his tail or run them over his loins. He would also lie down next to her or try to grab her crib. Those were very funny moments because she wanted to play, but since he was so calm, he would get annoyed quickly and go somewhere else. There are many anecdotes with this beautiful kitty, but I will write them in another post.
