NathanA Particular Picture
So when Alex had gone and left to join a boot camp, it was only Erin and Yuuki at home. Erin missed her son so much so she decided to keep a picture of him from his graduation day on her dresser to look at if ever she needed to see his face. After a couple of weeks, when Yuuki realized that Max was not about to come gliding in the doors of their home anymore. It was then that Erin started noticing her strange behavior.
Strange Staring
We know how attached we are to our pets. And in turn, even out pets have a sense of longing and belonging when it comes to loving owners. Since Yuuki and Max had such a strong connection, it was inevitable that there would be some after effects after he left. A few weeks had passed and Erin would frequently find Yuuki sitting on the top of her dresser, staring straight into the picture of Max.
Any Explanation?
If you saw your pet staring at a photo of your family member, would it not alarm you somehow too? “She just sits there, stares and meows and then lays down next to the picture to nap,” revealed Erin later in an interview. Since she had never seen Yuuki climb and sit on top of her dresser before, Erin was obviously stunned to learn that a cat could actually recognize Max from his picture frame…
An Investigation
Erin had never expected a pet to be able to identify a human’s face from a photo alone. So she was quite puzzled and wanted to find an explanation if she could. Surely this case with Yuuki was not one of a kind, that someone must have had the same experience with their pets too. She needed to know that this was not just a coincidence, that it was not just a lovely spot to sleep on for Yuuki. So Erin investigated…
Always Spotting It
Erin did not want to jump to conclusions. She was still a little doubtful in believing that Yuuki could recognize Max from a photo of his. So she decided to play a little experiment on the cat. She then moved the photo around, keeping it on different pieces of furniture in various areas of the house. She was again surprised but the cat’s response towards this prank. Yuuki always managed to find the photo no matter where she places it.
Pairing The Two
After trying this for some time, Erin was fully convinced that the cat knew for sure this was a photograph of her owner whom she misses very much. “I know for sure she misses him,” Erin exclaimed. Then Erin was filled with pity and sadness knowing that it was going to be a long while before her precious son could get back home from his training. However, Erin thought of a clever way to somehow reunite the loving pair.
