A cat called Tino.

         I love to have some stories to tell you related to the pieces I sell. This is about a quilt. I sewed it with so much love, as it was destined for someone special. This one was made for an unknown cat. When the quilt was done, something was missing, a touch of fun! So I thought about what cats like to play with... of course, balls. I found two colorful balls of yarn that matched with the rest of the colors and I sewed them in a way the cat can play.

          The quilt was kept into a wardrove for months until the day I heard an old man talking to a lady about his cat, Tino. He liked to play with the pigeons that perched on the window, but one day, he wanted to go farther and fell down on the pavement. The old man believed Tino was dead. When he got closer, he noticed the cat was breathing but he couldn't move. He took it to the vet, and after 15 minutes, the vet said to him that Tino broke one of his legs, he needed surgery. 

           After the surgery, Tino went back home. He couldn't walk, he didn't want to eat, or drink, or play. The old man was so sad, he didn't know what to do to make him feel comfortable, loved, and warm. The cat was the only company he had. I said to the old man that I had something that could help him. 

           The old man put the quilt on his bed to nurse the cat. He said Tino loved it: he liked to play with the balls, he was warm and comfortable, and that helped him in his recovery. 

           Tino needed one more surgery to get better, but now, he and his owner are happy.

           I conclude, that if you are going to do something for others, you better do it with huge love, you'll never know where will it go.
