class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"524\">This story is very special to me because <strong data-start=\"443\" data-end=\"523\">Chii-chan and Koro-chan are real rescued cats adopted by my parents in Japan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"660\">The story was written and photographed by my mother, <strong data-start=\"579\" data-end=\"598\">Mitsuko Tashiro<\/strong>, and the grandfather you see in the photographs is my father.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"662\" data-end=\"876\">Chii-chan and Koro-chan quickly became much-loved members of the family\u2014and, before long, they seemed to be running the house! They climbed everywhere, begged Grandpa for treats, and got into all kinds of mischief.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"878\" data-end=\"1074\">One of my favourite parts is what they did to the <strong data-start=\"928\" data-end=\"943\">shoji paper<\/strong>. Seeing two cats happily tearing traditional Japanese shoji is something you probably won\u2019t find in an ordinary Japanese textbook!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1225\">But underneath all the mischief is a story about being rescued, learning to trust again, finding companionship, and becoming part of a loving family.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1344\">I hope learners enjoy
