Welcome to my Nicolau Tribute Page!

Nicolau Adoption

Nicolau is my pet son and though to be honest, he was the one who adopted us. It all happened back in 2018. My family and I were driving to my aunt’s house for lunch, about 40 km away. We made just one quick stop on the way, nothing special.

When we finally arrived, we heard a strange purring sound coming from the car battery area. We opened it up… and there he was! A tiny kitten with the most beautiful blue eyes staring back at us. We had no idea how long he’d been there, but the moment we met his gaze, we knew he was already part of our family.

That’s a picture of him in 2018 (not on the same day we met, though! That day we were a bit too busy making sure he was okay and trying to convince my mom that he was my *literal soulmate*.).

Can you believe he used to be about 80% whiter when he was little?

Naming Him

Now, about his name, we had like a thousand options, because he was such a tiny, perfect, adorable fluffball!! In the end, we chose *Nicolau* because of a childhood song my dad used to sing to me (and to every cat who ever joined this family, by the way).

It went something like:

We’re Brazilians, so the song is in Portuguese, but the rough translation would be something like:
