Under the golden ginkgo canopy of Chengdu’s old town, there’s a tiny café called “Pawprint” ☕️—and its most beloved “owner” was a tabby cat named Osmanthus (Guihua) 🐱

Ten years ago, Su Ming rescued her from a demolition site, her tail injured but her spirit bright ✨. Little did he know, this fur baby was a total coffee connoisseur: she’d curl up by the roaster when beans were perfectly toasty, and swat away over-extracted cups with her paw (sassy queen behavior! 😼)

Three years ago, on a rainy night, Su Ming’s business failed and he planned to close up. But there was Osmanthus, crouched at the cash register, fiercely guarding the day’s takings 🛡️. Under her paw? A customer’s note: “Your latte tastes like sunshine—please hold on.” 🌞

She was a little angel in fur: nuzzling frowns into smiles 😊, leading lost kids to the nearby police station 🚓, even dragging neighbors over when Su Ming had a stomachache 🤍. For 16 years, she filled the café with warmth—until last winter, when she passed away peacefully amid the smell of coffee.

Guests brought her favorite salmon jerky, piling it like a mountain under the ginkgo tree 🐟. Su Ming turned her paw prints into ceramic coasters, placing them where she used to curl up at the bar 🐾. Now, every morning at 5:30, he still brews her espresso—saying she’s just savoring the world’s warmth in a new way ☕️

Pets don’t stay forever, but their love leaves a mark that never fades 💌. Osmanthus’s paw prints are in the café, in Su Ming’s heart, and in the little memento that keeps her memory alive.

We want to help you hold onto that warmth too—turn your pet’s unique paw print into a timeless keepsake, so their love lingers, always.
