Always Right by My Side — Sumida-ku, Tokyo

His name is Anmitsu-kun.

A former rescue cat, a boy of about seven years old.

Right from our first meeting, his friendliness was on full display.

"I'm joining in too!"

— I could almost hear him say.

Before I knew it, he was right beside the paperwork — as if to say he was an important member of the meeting too, ready to stamp his approval with a little paw print.

Anmitsu-kun simply adores people.

He must have been cherished so very dearly.

Whenever I pointed the camera, he'd come walking right up to me — so my photo folder is filled with close-ups of his sweet face!📸💕

He was supposed to be on the other side of the lens, yet somehow he was always right there, closest of all.

He loves to play, and he loves being brushed.

I'd be brushing him, and before I knew it, it had turned into playtime — gently nibbling my arm and telling me with his whole body, "Pay more attention to me!"
