#0. Hello and Welcome
Hello, Iโm Kim โ Chuโs human, a.k.a. โcat butler.โ ๐
Thank you so much for stopping by Chuโs Days.
This blog began with a simple wish: to document the time Iโve shared with my cat Jiwoo (better known as Chu), whoโs almost three years old now.
Our story with Chu began when she was about one year old. She originally belonged to a friend of mine, and we agreed to look after her while they were away on a long trip. Their children had already shown signs of cat allergies and had been taking medication for over a year, but sometime during Chuโs second year, the older childโs symptoms worsened and developed into asthma. With no other option, they had to find a new home for Chu โ and thatโs when she came to us.
As a first-time cat parent, I was full of questions and uncertainties at first. I wanted to give Chu the happiest life possible, so I spent hours reading, researching, and learning what it means to care for a cat.
Honestly, our hearts were already open to her long before she officially became part of our family. The moment she stepped into our home, it just felt right โ like she had been meant to stay.
Through this blog, I hope to share those discoveries โ the helpful tips, the funny moments, and the little joys that come from living with a furry companion.
If youโre a new or soon-to-be cat parent, I hope my stories can offer you a bit of comfort and guidance.
Thanks for joining us on this journey. Chu and I are so glad to have you here ๐พ
