Chubby’s Corner: Where Love Never Fades

Date: May 12, 2023

Host name： Emily
Pet name：Chubby

Chubby was a chubby orange tabby who stayed by my side for ten wonderful years. I found him on a rainy night ten years ago, a tiny stray kitten shivering in the cold. I brought him home and named him "Chubby," hoping he would always eat well and be healthy and happy.

Chubby quickly became a part of my life. He loved curling up on my lap for naps or nudging my arm with his head while I worked. His favorite treat was chicken breast, and every time I took it out, he'd excitedly circle around me. Over the ten years we spent together, we shared countless warm and joyful moments.

But last winter, as Chubby grew older, his health began to decline. One day, he quietly left me. That night, I held his little blanket and cried until morning. The house felt so empty, even the sunny corner on the balcony he loved so much seemed cold and lifeless.

Later, a friend recommended I create a 1:1 wool felt replica of Chubby. The first time I saw it, tears streamed down my face—it had his round face, chubby body, and those gentle eyes. It felt like Chubby had returned to me. I placed it in the sunny balcony corner, his favorite spot. Every time I see it, I feel a sense of comfort, as if he never left.

Pets may only stay with us for a short time, but the love and warmth they bring remain in our hearts forever. A wool felt replica isn't just a keepsake—it's a way to turn longing into something eternal.
