Play to hear the story behind the photograph.

This Image is called My First Portuguese Friend 

I have a, photo of a cat and my shadow, the story behind the, photo is quite simple. As an introvert, I don’t, interact with people a lot, especially if I don’t speak their language freely, which happens to most foreigners in Portugal. 

And for a certain period of time you are not able to communicate with many people.  And for an introverted person doing remote work from home, it’s even more challenging to talk to someone.  And actually, the cat was the, first Portuguese with whom I interacted at the very first and the longest and on the most regular basis almost every day as someone’s neighbor. I don’t know the people, the owners of the kid, but I know the cat.

I know all his necklaces, all his postures and sometimes he recognizes me and looks at me like I’m a familiar face to him. 

Well, for a year or something, he was my best Portuguese friend. Recently, I haven’t seen him. Probably. He’s on vacations. He has a lot of duties to do, like control the universe. So he’s been doing his work, the whole spring time. I think it’s a well-deserved vacation for him now.
