The best present I have ever received is cuddly toy of Marie from The Aristocats. I got it from Santa when I was little. Marie is a pet cat owned by a rich woman who lives in Paris and has a pink ribbon in her white hair. It is over 50 cm long, white, fluffy and has a big pink ribbon.

When I was a kid, I loved Marie and cats, so I was really glad. Since I started sleeping in a separate bed with my parents, I was always with it when I slept. I also have a while cat at my house; it’s no exaggeration to say that I grew up surrounded by cats. Incidentally, my cat is still alive and well. When I was scared late at night or when I was sad and crying, I held on to my Marie, and before I knew it, I fell asleep. I don’t have any brothers or sisters, so it made me feel relaxed.

Now I like big cuddly toys and I have Chandu from Sinbad. It is a tiger. Maybe I like cats. Like teddy bears, stuffed animals may have the power to heal humans.
