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.

That blinky eye thing is supposed to be the cat's way of saying "I love you". You should feel very special.

I know it is a positive thing, so I'm glad he started it.

Jimi took an interest in food that I eat. So I held some. But he just sniffed it, I put it down and he ate it. I pointed a finger at him, he saw I had no food, but first time he came to me just for me. He sniffed my finger. He pawed it gently. We played that game for two days now, giving each other small shy high fives.

Do we have a cat Jimi fan club? Haha.

Today I'm packing what we need, and will go visit my best friend that has moved long away. I think I'll stay a few months. What is good we don't have to be without our dog. The cats seem to settle easily in a new environment, but I have the feeling we will live there part time, as long as my friend can rent the house. Jimi travels well but poor Francis gets carsick. Since I can't take pics I asked AI (I wanna use it before it gets too perfect) to draw Jimi, I expected a disaster but it really looks like him. The link will work for a short while.
