The two brothers…

One day last week, Alexandra and I saw a kitten in our neighbor’s compound.

“Look, Mom! That kitten resembles our Puss,” she exclaimed excitedly.

I thought so too. So we asked our neighbor whether it is her pet.

“No, it is a stray kitten but since it likes to come and play in my compound, I decided to give it some biscuits and named it Nelson,” she said.

Nelson could be from the same litter as Puss but it looks pitifully malnourished and sad. You can even hold it up with one hand whereas our well-fed and pampered Puss was a size bigger.

“If you don’t mind, could you let us keep Nelson too, as a companion for Puss?” my daughter asked.

“Go ahead, hopefully they can get along with each other,” my neighbor said.

Nelson and Puss took a day or two to get use to each other. They hissed and hissed.

But in no time at all, both began to chase each other and happily play all over the house.

They eat and sleep together. We are so happy to see two brothers reunited at last.

Guess who’s who ?
