She remembers:

At first, Kinako was a little shy, but he quickly seemed to understand the sadness Jiji was carrying.

With his gentle purrs and loving cuddles, Kinako became Jiji’s own therapy cat.

In a sweet turn of events, the shy kitten picked Jiji as his favorite person and started following him everywhere he went.

“An extraordinary friendship gradually grew between the two. Who would have thought that a timid kitten would befriend a grumpy old man!”
