It was on a rainy day in July 2015 when my then girlfriend (now my wife) and I went to Tiendesitas, Pasig City to look for a pet. Initially, we were looking for a dog, but none of them resonated to us. We were shop hopping. There were birds, cats, dogs, fishes and other exotic animals. And as the day goes by, and we needed to hurry up due to rain, and Quezon City traffic was upon us, we went to this last pet shop checking out dogs, until all of a sudden when I looked up I saw a black cat looking at us, sitting like a boss – and then we fell in love. Right there and then, we told the shop attendant that we are going to get him the following week.
We named him Storm – after the Stormtroopers but with a twist. Well, the name Storm sounds cool. Lol
Storm and I are best friends. He never leaves my side whenever we are together. We are soulmates and for some reason, we understand each other and he respects me as his human.
