Totoros

2021 · Dhaka, Bangladesh

Meet Totoro (2.0). She was the tiny troublemaker.

Totoro was rescued from the streets of Dhaka when she was around 3 weeks old, with a big cut on her belly and her insides coming out. The vet and a cat expert called her case hopeless, but someone took her in anyway: even if she only had days to live, maybe they could be good ones. And then magic happened. She grew up healthy, super playful and beautiful.

She was my debugging partner. Or maybe I was hers.
