My Sweety Hechi

One December day,

I was crying out for help in a lumber yard

when a kind woman walking by heard my voice.

She found me struggling with a terrible case of rhinitis

and took me straight to the vet.

The clinic director's family gave me the name "Hetchi,"

and once I recovered,

their home became my forever home.



I'm so glad I cried as loudly as I could that day.

Because I cried,

my forever family was able to find me.



Whether I'm happy, sad, or sleepy,

I still meow all the time.

And whenever I do,

my family or friends call out,

"Hetchi!"

and gently stroke my head.



This song was made from

the little moments of my everyday life-

the life of a cat whose voice

once brought him happiness.



May my meows of good fortune

reach your heart, too.
