Manchikan bantam owners are great at cutting nails and bathing

Hello! My name is Zhichu Zhao, and I am a deeply compassionate and experienced cat lover who finds joy and purpose in caring for animals. As someone with a natal chart heavily influenced by the 6th house, I believe that taking care of other beings is one of my life’s missions. This calling has naturally drawn me to cats, whose unique personalities and needs I’ve come to understand and cherish.

I have been the proud companion of Kuma, a blue-golden Munchkin cat, for the past three years. From the moment I adopted him at five months old, I dedicated myself to learning about his needs and behavior. I’ve supported him through various challenges, including managing his health during bouts of diarrhea, where I explored different methods such as syringe feeding, medication tricks, and even playful approaches to ensure his well-being.

Having moved homes four times with Kuma, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to help cats adapt to new environments. I’ve also taught him fun tricks like “high five” and “sit,” which highlight my patience and ability to communicate with cats. What’s more, cats seem naturally drawn to me—whether it’s neighborhood cats choosing my home for naps or winning the trust of a friend’s aggressive cat to trim its nails.

Caring for cats is more than a responsibility for me; it’s an expression of my personal mission. I bring warmth, empathy, and years of hands-on experience to ensure your cat feels loved and secure while you’re away.
