A few years ago, I found myself on the streets, homeless, with nothing but my guitar and my dreams. But life had something in store for me that day—I crossed paths with a cat. He wasn’t like the others; he had this soft, deep gaze, almost human. At first, he followed me timidly, but little by little, he became my faithful companion. From that day on, he never left my side, and I’m sure he felt the same connection I did.
We lived together on the streets, sharing our meals, our moments of solitude, and our hopes.
Over time, music became our common language. When I played the guitar, he was there, sitting at my feet, listening as if he understood every note. Sometimes, he would start meowing, as if he were singing along with me. It was a silent communion between us. Passersby often looked at us with a smile, as if, together, we brought a little light to this gray world.
One day, someone approached me with a kind smile and said they had noticed my cat and me on the streets for a few days. They offered to help us. From that moment on, we had a roof over our heads, warmth, and, most importantly, the certainty that we would never be alone again. My cat and I found a family, a place where we could finally be ourselves without fear.
Every day, I look at him and think that without him, I might not be here anymore. He saved me in ways I never imagined. He is my friend, my support, my brother. And I know that wherever I go, he will always be there, by my side, accompanying me through every step of my life
