Clara
Once upon a time there was a sweet girl, with light skin, yellow eyes, greenish depending on the sun, she had straight blond hair and, she was charming, she shone wherever she went. There was no one who would not look at her, wherever she went, people would bend their necks to see her pass. Clara was a child very loved by all, happy and cheerful, captivated people with her enthusiastic and serene look. She was very restless and hyperactive, of Italian origin and had a slightly large nose like her father's. She criticized him and found him very ugly. Clara's whole family from her father had the big nose inherited from her grandfather Simião Immediato. She was very funny. Often ironic with his games, he surprised people.
Unlike the children who lived in Palermo, an ancient city located on the island of Sicily in Italy, who were shy and quiet, she drew a lot of attention for her genuine and authentic way, always curious and beaten. Palermo was a place that had a lot of life and history, the houses were all mostly rustic and were on top of the mountain from where it was possible to see the bright blue sea, almost transparent.
In addition, many bathers used to stay on the coast where ships that anchored with cargo from other continents passed. It was very common for them to admire the big boats with large loads of food, food and clothes that arrived.
Palermo was not very big, but it had a very welcoming people. It received many tourists, mostly Europeans, Greeks and Asians. It had a slightly Arab colonization, which made its customs and habits very traditional. The families were very conservative and enthusiastic, they lived with their houses full of friends and family, they spoke loudly and were very fond of partying, welcoming friends. Clara's family was super excited. Whenever he could, be distracted by the family in the kitchen. The kitchen in the house was huge, with a wooden table in the center of the house, the mother of light, Eliza received her friends and family, always there. The chairs were like wide wooden benches that could hold up to five people in one long. It made people feel closer, and thus closer to each other. Eliza also had a wood oven that she loved to make mush. Clara's mother was Brazilian, from Silvania, a city in the interior of the State of Goias, next to the city where Clara would come to live in the future. But, it had been too early for Italy to meet one of the cousins he had close to the family of Eustáquio, his brother who, French, had arrived in Silvania from France in the 1960s.
Clara, better known as Nina, a passion for the Immediato house, has always seen in nature several answers to her countless questions. I had a best friend, Nino.
Nino was a lovely cat, a friend of the neighborhood, he was black and white and was medium in size, he was quick and canny, he loved running in the garden of the Immediate house. It was the joy of the house and made Clara's life the happiest and the best, made the moments with her the most incredible. He accompanied the girl in everything she did. When Nino had to walk long stretches to go to school, he would follow her and make a big mess to cheer up the girl. It was easy to see when Clara was not well. Nino was already more beaten, quiet.
Contrary to what some people think the black and white bicolor cat is not a breed but a color pattern that can occur in almost all types of domestic cats. Do Americans call them "Tuxedo Cat"? Because “tuxedo” (more colloquially the abbreviated form “tux” is used) in the USA is a complete masculine used for formal occasions, like an elegant dinner for example. This black suit, whose coat was originally distinguished by the satin band that lined the lapel, is completed by a white shirt and a black bow. Now the coat of many blacks and whites gives the amusing idea that cats seem to be dressed up in a “tuxedo”. They are really funny.
Some of them may have a white snout and the tip of the tail is also white, but the predominance appears to be black fur on the body, with white fur covering the chest and the paws. More rare are "black ties", which also have a "black tie" on the chest. They are considered carriers of good luck for their humans, especially in terms of prosperity.
My father said that the "Tuxedo Cats" revealed a difference of intelligence in the order of 200% relatively larger than other cats. Another curious behavior he spoke of is that in the house where there were CTs, the plants were healthier and grew more. They have also always been very popular and in antiquity: most of the cats represented in the Egyptian royal tombs are TC. The first cat, as my father told me the story, in the new world was Asgerd, a TC cat who accompanied the Vikings on their expeditions to the North American continent. Shakespeare.
