“Summer in 2006 Sora was from animal shelter. She was about 4 or 5yrs old. We had good time together for 13 yrs. When my mother passed away last spring, Sora looked for the stars which star is my mother with me at night walk. But 3months after that Sora passed way. We couldn't look for the stars together. That's sad.
Now I living with Kotaro 🐶 Ayame🐶 and Mochan🐱.
Kotaro came to our house when he is 45 days after he was born. He loved Sora very much as she was his sister. So did Sora. She took good care of him. Mochan was a stray cat. She is now about 10 yrs old. Sora and Mochan spent time together in our house for 2yrs. Mochan took good care of Sora when she became ill. As Sora had heart disease, she sometimes coughed. When Sora began to cough, Mochan ran to Sora and touched her. When Mochan touched, Sora seemed to be relieved. Maybe Sora thanked her. And last 3 weeks of her life, Sora met one more cat. We call him Tanshippo(Short Tail). In last 3 weeks, Sora became unable to walk and just stood still outside instead of walking. When she stood still, Short Tail appeared. From that time, every time Sora came out of our house for standing still, Short Tail was there. When they are together, Short Tail sitting next to Sora. That was a very precious memory for me and I thank Short Tail very much. I think Sora had good time with Short Tail.
After 9 months Sora passed way, Ayame came from animal shelter, too. Now she is 7 or 8 yrs old. Although she didn't about Sora at all, she closely resembles Sora, especially how she walks and eats.
Sora crossed Rainbow Bridge. That's sad. But Sora's big love is all around😊💕” —Yutakako Kitajima

“Hey buddy,
It’s been a while huh? You couldn't imagine all the crazy stuff you've missed, there's this new virus going around, we moved houses, and we even got a cat....or three, I’m sure you would've loved them. One of them (her name's Gizmo) has a thing for hanging around your brother, they make good friends. We all miss you a lot you know? Anyway, It really sucks our time together was cut short I hope you're doing great wherever you are. I miss you more than you'd know.
Wishing you the best,
Your caregiver best friend and late night cuddle pal”

“젤리는 비를 무서워했어요. 그래서 비가 많이 오는 날에는 이불 안에 같이 들어가 있곤 했었어요. 요즘도 비가 많이 오는 날에는 젤리 생각이 나요.” —고은비
Translation (by Shin):
Jelly was afraid of raining. We would hide together under the blanket on rainy days. I think of her whenever it rains."
