Tomorrow marks the birthday of my beloved Black Swan, Iris. However, since I would have to go to work on a Monday I decided to treat her out tonight instead. Since Iris is of italian descent I thought of bringing her to our local ristorante italiano, Bellini's.
On our way there, Iris and I visited an art gallery located just a few steps from the restaurant. We were just looking around appreciating such wonderful local artworks, when a cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Being the cat lovers that we both are, I told Iris about the cat and she followed it to the middle of the gallery. What came after was a series of pleas from Iris for me to come to her. I did not think it would be of such importance at first, realizing how mistaken I was when I saw what she was trying to show me. It was a litter of 3 kittens playing with her, one of them bears the pattern that she has been looking for in a cat for ages. At first we were hesitant in taking the kitten, but I knew that this opportunity may never come again. We decided to ask the gallery owner if we could keep the kitten, and without a moment to spare he said yes.
We decided to go on our way to have dinner, with the kitten hidden inside her bag. As soon as we had our seats, the kitten started crying and making all sorts of cat-noises. The people from Bellini's did not really mind, but we did not want to ruin their business. So even if it was beyond their protocol, the people from Bellini's set up a table just outside the door. We had a wonderful dinner and even if was earlier than I planned it to be, we went straight home after.
We welcomed the kitten as the newest part of the family, and I decided to name him Sasha. And for some reason, Sasha got attached to me pretty quickly, even sleeping in my arms without hesitation.
This proved to be such a wonderful night, especially for Iris whom received the gift she really wanted.
