Hamster Senya


On my birthday, when I was six, I was given a hamster in a cage. I called him Senya and very much loved him. I did not have animals, not even cats, up to the Seine. And then there’s such a cute animal. I did not even want to go to bed that evening, although I always liked to sleep and I did it with pleasure no later than nine. Parents realized that this gift was the best for me.

I watched Senya constantly when I was at home. Waking up, he ran to the cage, greeted a new friend, fed him. It always seemed to me that he wanted to eat. Probably, this is because, no matter how many seeds were given to him, pieces of carrots, breadcrumbs, everything instantly disappeared. At first I looked with concern at his tummy, whether he was stretching too much. Then I found out that my tummy does not seem to get too fat, but my cheeks are a miracle! They swelled in their eyes, and not always the same: often one was much thicker than the other. What a cautious Senya! I even tried to save his candy, then a piece of cake, but I did not have enough willpower. And Senya, I thought, was so strong-willed and intelligent…

I went out with Senya to walk, let him run about the grass and was not at all afraid that he would run away from me. I was worried only one thing: that he did not fall into any hole. But this did not happen. We had to leave later, for a good reason. But about the sad I will not write. I remember Senya warm, pinkish-beige, chewing, with thick, unequal cheeks.
