I used to fit perfectly between them, curling into the space where warmth pooled like sunlight through a window. Their laughter would roll through the air, soft and uneven, like the hum of a distant bird. The couch was ours—mine first, but I let them have it.

Then the small one arrived, wrapped in new scents and strange sounds. The woman’s arms, which once held me close, now held him. I would nuzzle against her, but she barely noticed. The man still reached out sometimes, his fingers scratching the soft place behind my ear, but his attention would drift away before I was done purring.

I stretched longer across the cushions, filling in the spaces they left behind. They hardly noticed. I moved among them like a shadow, pressing into the empty spaces, finding my place between their moments. My tail curled at the tip—a quiet question, a habit of uncertainty. It used to flick when they called my name, now it simply rested, unanswered.

Once, I curled myself around their warmth, my tail tucked neatly by their sides. Now, I loop it around my own paws, keeping what’s left of me within reach. The house is full, yet there are places where I am missing. Spaces where I once fit, now unshaped.

And yet, I remained. I knew their voices, the way their warmth shaped the air. Even when they looked past me, I was part of the scene, an echo of something they once held closer.

They will notice one day, when I am not there to fill the gaps, when my tail no longer curls in quiet longing, when absence is all that lingers. (The perspective of a cat)

When I was two or three years old, my parents had just started working. Every summer, we loved going to Lingka (a traditional Tibetan picnic). One year, my dad spent a whole month’s salary to buy a film camera. That day, we went to Lingka again, and there was also a horse racing competition.

Amidst the jostling crowd, my dad lifted me up, afraid I would get pushed around. In the chaos, he didn’t notice that his wallet had fallen out. He only realized it was missing after we got home. Later, retracing his steps, he found the wallet lying in a patch of grass, untouched. He was overjoyed when he returned home and suggested documenting the day.

So, he set up the film camera on the table and took a photo of the three of us—our little family captured in that moment. (Tibetan)

我时常觉得我自己是一个幸福的人，我和丈夫在结婚纪念日这一天，我和他并肩坐在沙发上，我的怀里抱着我可爱的儿子，养了很久的黑猫依偎在我的身边。我的孩子依然有些害怕我的猫咪，所以在拍照的时候把头扭到了另一边，仿佛这样就可以无视黑猫的存在。尽管别人认为我的猫可能会伤害到脆弱的婴儿，但它在我还是一个小女孩的时候就陪着我了，所以我并不会因为这样的可能性而放弃继续养我的猫咪。

I often think that I am a happy person. On the third anniversary of our marriage, my husband and I sat on the sofa side by side with my lovely son in my arms and my long-raised black cat nestled beside me. My kids, still a little scared of my cat, turned their heads to the other side during the photo shoot, as if to ignore the black cat. My cat has been with me since I was a little girl, despite the thought that she might harm vulnerable babies, so I'm not going to let that possibility deter me from keeping my cat. (Chinese)

I sit on the couch, looking at my wife and our child, feeling warmth and contentment in my heart. Our life is simple yet full of happiness. She holds the baby gently, smiling softly, as if the whole world is in her arms. I reach out to touch the baby's tiny hand, feeling his warmth and energy. Our black-and-white cat lounges lazily beside us, adding to the peaceful atmosphere of our home. Life may seem ordinary, but with them, it is precious. I wish time would slow down so I could cherish these moments forever. (AI)
