I've always been a dog person. I've lived with them for as long as I can remember. They are all different and all fun, goofy, loving and most of all unconditional friends.
At Christmas 2020, a cat came to live with me, who was making some friends' lives hell. My experience with cats was limited. I basically knew my parents' cats and few more than these. Zé (like Mourinho) was a shy cat and from the first moment he melted my heart. After a week it felt like he had lived with me forever. He became friends with Alice and Sheila, and quickly became a unique member of the family.
I learned a lot from him. With all the animals that share life with me, by the way, but with him in particular. Zé talks to me, Zé talks to the dogs, Zé talks to the other cats. Zé has many things to say about life. I never saw Zé upset about anything. It is a pure soul made of love. He gained a lifelong position in our lives and in my belly. That's where he likes to snuggle while he keeps looking at me, as if he's constantly telling me, I'm here and I know what you did last summer.
Zé and The Design.
Zé could very well be a conceptual cat. Behind his huge green eyes, there are thousands of stories to be told. Sometimes while working on a new project, Zé gets involved. Gives tips and opinions and is adept at striking diva poses. It is therefore an inspiration. There isn't a sofa model on which Zé doesn't look good. I sincerely believe that every designer should have a cat. Preferably a Zé.
