Meet Rémila, a sweet foster cat owned by Esther Abrami.
The perfect notes are struck by their warm camaraderie.
Abrami is a professional violinist from France, where she tries her best to practice a few hours every day. Unfortunately, Abrami’s passion for playing music came into conflict with the kitten’s favorite pastime.
Rémila, you see, loves to cuddle in her foster mom’s lap — and Abrami typically plays the violin standing up.
Rémila would sob at Abrami’s feet as she rose to practice.
She would lie down on my lap as I attempted to practice sitting down, Abrami told The Dodo. But I can’t practice sitting down all the time.
Abrami came up with a brilliant solution to this conundrum to keep them both content.
I thought of having a little bag that I could carry around my waist with her in it, said Abrami. “I never imagined she would adore hanging in there so much!”
Rémila, on the other hand, joyfully settled in as soon as Abrami put her foster cat into the repurposed fanny pack, which was by this point a legitimate kitten pouch.
Rémila now has the most comfortable seat in the house when Abrami is practicing the violin…
With that, Abrami can play to her heart’s content, much to Rémila’s delight.
“I realized she absolutely loves music! I can literally practice for an hour without her moving from the bag,” she said. “To know she enjoys my music has created a really special bond between us.”
Everyone is pleased thanks to the solution Abrami came up with, but there is one unexpected, albeit cute, minor downside.
“It definitely makes my practice session more enjoyable, although I sometimes find it hard to concentrate seeing how cute she is sleeping in the bag,” Abrami said.
