When on first Sunday of September 1999 I went with Mirek (my fiance) to the racial cats exhibition in Wrocław. I didn’t even think that I would be, so suddenly, an owner of this exceptional cat. However, I must admit I‘ve been familiar with the race Main Coon and I knew that some day this “lynx” will appear in our home. When I saw the three kittens at the exhibition and among them my Belmondo I felt that the day was coming soon. But we left the exhibition without the cat, although Mirek had perfectly known, from glints of my eyes, that this cat should stay in Wrocław. Not in the city but in my home.
- Maybe we should wait and see kittens at other cat-breedings? – I said .I don’t know why I was trying to convince myself and Mirek.
- O.K but if we don’t buy him now we will have to go to Warsaw to get this cat. What then? Think it over and be quick, please!
Well, after an hour, when we left the display, I knew that he was right. I couldn’t get any sleep on this Sunday night. I was angry with myself. I wanted this cat badly. My cautiousness had been a fatal adviser. I was so anxious when my Belmondo and his owner were coming to Warsaw.
When we got up on Monday morning there was no need to talk about the matter. I had decided- this cat or none. It was obvious that instead to work we are going to Warsaw...to get the cat. We wouldn’t have had to ride 700km if I had followed my heart.
