My Cat, Keto
Yes, he's real. Yes, he runs the show here.
Keto's Cap Era
Bossing Me Around 🎯
All About Keto
Personality
Keto is shy. He's afraid of basically everyone, including me sometimes. Golden Persian, gentle, big eyes, prefers the people who ignore him.
Origin Story
Met my aunt at my grandmother's house — she asked if I wanted a cat. Who says no to a cat offer? He was at our door within 12 hours.
The Name
Mom wanted to call him Kittu — Hindi nickname from kitten, despite him being a full-grown cat when we met. I countered with Keto. Sounds like the diet; has nothing to do with it.
Favorite Activities
The terrace is his entire winter world — sun, breeze, pigeons to plot against. By Alwar summer the heat keeps him cooped up inside, slipping into proper feline depression mode until the weather turns.
Daily Mission
Every morning he tries to catch pigeons. Strike rate: 0%. Enthusiasm: undented.
Co-Worker
Around 5 PM tea time he climbs onto my keyboard — his way of telling me work has had enough of my attention. If I step away, he claims the chair. Quiet, steady resistance to me getting too much done.
Life Lessons
If you have a safe square of ground you love and one thing you keep showing up for, that's most of the bar cleared.
"In a world full of chaos, Keto reminds me that persistence and having your own safe space (like his beloved terrace) are the keys to contentment."
