GARAM thought Gunwoo would take a long time choosing which pet to adopt.
After all, the animal shelter that they had gone to had a lot of dogs and cats that needed a forever home. However, their son fell in love with the kitten that had been there for four months already.
"All the other kittens from the litter have been adopted already, but we're having a hard time finding the right family for little Nabi," the animal shelter staff explained. 'Nabi' was a common name for cats in their country. "Most people who came here to adopt were superstitious. They believe that black cats bring bad luck, so nobody wanted Nabi."
Right.
The cat that Gunwoo fell in love with was a tuxedo cat.
It's so small, and the kitten's white coat is barely visible, so it looks completely black.
"No, Bam won't bring us bad luck," Gunwoo whined, looking up at Garam with big, puppy-dog eyes. "Dad, Daddy, let's take Bam home."
"'Bam?'"
"Bam's fur is as dark as the night sky, so I named him 'Bam!'"
