根据我的理解，“缪斯”
就是九个希腊女神中掌管艺术的那一个。
也就是说，身为作家的我，不仅工作时可以穿着睡衣，而且在我写作遇到困难时，还可以要求我的女神赐予我灵感。
幸运的是，我不需要这么做。
全是因为我的尼科，这只猫有着桃色的花斑，就是这只猫成了我个人的“喵斯”
。
我们是在当地的动物庇护所发现这只猫的。
当时，我们本来想找一只安静、干净的宠物来和我们那只吵闹的狗——埃玛做伴，最后却找来了尼科。
我们刚到庇护所，尼科就大声地向我们喵喵地叫个不停，让我们明白它需要刻不容缓的关注。
尼科的笼子上的黄牌显示它只能再活一天，它不得不更为急迫地请求。
当笼子门刚一打开，尼科一下子跃进了我的怀里，抬头看着我，用清楚明白的眼神问我：“你为什么耽误了这么久才来？”
