I'm away from home again and the first nights in the trailer were cold, of course Isaac was under my covers But then I realize Jimi wants heat as well and dares sleeping at the foot. It was super nice. He comes into my small bedroom a lot, he took some snacks I threw on the floor. I should buy cat treats and lure him closer.

I feel so lucky I have these nutso cats. Isaac is so playful, he is a kitten still like I said, cuddly too, and Jimi is coming out whenever and comes real close, he is so pretty.

I am lucky to have these. When my cat before these too passed, I felt unsure if I'd love another cat, but I am growing fond of these. The cat who passed did it in a dramatic way which stunned me, I also didn't get to grieve as my dad got seriously ill just the day after. My mind was full of worry for him, but he was strong and made it. After that, I could never reconnect with grief. But I felt like a traitor getting two new cats.

I can paint but I haven't in a while so I made an AI image of my last two cats that passed. I still love them a lot.

Haha ya. But it takes forever. I wish I could stay on vacation longer, but I'm staying in a trailer with no insulation, and electric heat is expensive. So I'm soon going home to my apartment. I have no idea if I like it or not. My friend is on work practice for three weeks, last time she was also on vacation. I have been good, cooking for her almost every day. Last week it was 23 C and now it is down to 5 C.

Today it is a little warmer. And I have more heating. I am glad the dog curls up with me. The giant kitten is also warm. Jimi can be at the foot of the bed, and he climbed my knees not understanding it was a part of the horrible human. So he was really close. We are sometimes near, but if I reach for him he is scared. He walks near me. Also he meows. To whom I ask. He can't sound a real meow, it is like mmuhh mwe! I meow back. Cats only meow to people they say.

So now I'm home. Jimi and Isaac have the best love I've seen between cats. They really adore eachother. I'm glad that Jimi has a friend he trusts.

I sometimes reach for Jimi and he runs. I don't try to touch him, he stays if I'm still, but I do want to move. LoL this time he walked up to me and boxed my hand twice and just walked off. No claws out. The human must learn.

He lays relaxed if he knows I'm not coming close. And also if we lock eyes he no more always looks super scared. I can even close my eyes hard and he will copy. A little spooky but our dog seems to understand what we say, Isaac to some extrent and Jimi the most. It's almost unsettling. But after I watched Todd talks on youtube I realize cats know many words. It's a cool channel.

I let AI write stories about my cats, I'm not allowed to pet yet, but in this story I can (I decided out out "Isaac's" new name, also I spelled Jimi's name differently). The stories make me happy.

Once upon a time, in a small, cozy home at the edge of the woods, there lived a shy grey cat named Jamie. Jamie was small, with soft fur the color of storm clouds, and his bright orange eyes always watched the world from a safe distance. He had four delicate white toes, as if he was always tiptoeing through life, and he often felt scared when his human tried to touch him.

Jamie had a best friend, a big white cat named Francis. Francis, with his bold yellow eyes and gentle heart, was always by Jamie’s side. They had been friends for as long as Jamie could remember. Whenever Jamie felt frightened, especially when his human was nearby, he would run and hide behind Francis, knowing that his brave friend would protect him.

Francis wasn’t afraid of their human at all. He would nuzzle and curl up in their lap, enjoying the warmth of their touch. But Jamie had never been able to bring himself to let his human near him. He preferred to watch from afar, curling up close to Francis for comfort.

One day, as the soft light of the afternoon sun streamed through the window, Jamie was resting in his favorite spot on the couch. Francis was next to him, as usual, peacefully dozing off. The human entered the room, moving quietly, and sat on the floor nearby, respecting Jamie's space. They didn’t try to reach out or touch him; they just sat and softly talked to Francis, who purred contentedly.

Jamie watched, curious but cautious. Something about the human’s calm presence felt different that day. Slowly, almost without thinking, Jamie crept closer to the human, inch by inch. Francis opened one eye and gave a soft, encouraging purr as if telling Jamie it was okay.

The human held out their hand, not too close, just enough for Jamie to make the choice. For the first time, Jamie didn’t run. His little heart pounded, but he bravely stretched out his nose to sniff the hand. It smelled familiar, like the home he shared with Francis.

And then, in a moment of courage, Jamie took another step forward and let the human’s hand brush against his fur. It was gentle, soft, and warm, not scary at all. The touch wasn’t like anything he had expected. It felt... safe.

As the human slowly stroked his back, Jamie’s fear began to melt away. He looked over at Francis, who was now fully awake and watching him proudly. Jamie realized that maybe, just maybe, he could trust this human too.

From that day on, Jamie still had moments when he was afraid, but each time it became a little easier. He knew that whenever he felt scared, he had Francis, his brave friend, by his side—and now, a human who he could finally let in.

And so, Jamie curled up next to Francis, with the human gently petting him, feeling safe and warm for the first time in their company. It was the beginning of a new kind of friendship, one built on patience, trust, and love.

Goodnight, Jamie. You are safe now.
