We arrived at the cat shelter on the same day. I needed something to keep me busy outside school and decided to volunteer at the city’s cat shelter. One-year-old female cat Linni arrived that day with its mother. They were painfully shy. They’d lived for years locked in a house with no light or socialization, just an occasional bag of cat food thrown down to them after their loud complaint.

All our cats were sociable, eager to greet visitors for adoption. Linni’s mother found a new home, but Linni was terrified of everything, always hiding somewhere when I arrived for work, inside the darkness or under the furniture.

If someone tried to pet her, she’d be terrified. I’d routinely search for her at the start, leaving her food and sitting on the floor to talk to her softly. After several months, she’d sometimes appear slowly, looking at me while eating the food I’d brought. Instead of petting her, I’d talk to her as she ate and watched me. I knew that, being badly treated before, she saw her trust as a weakness or an invitation for bad people to hurt her.

I discovered she adored soft cloth. I’d offer her blankets and towels, carefully selected, at her feet. She’d bury her head in them. A mistreated child was learning there were soft and comforting things out there.

Winter came. It had been a year since Linni and I came. One day, when her head was buried in the folds of a soft woolen blanket, I tried to pet her, and she didn’t run away. I took her home to my small apartment. Gradually, we learned to trust and love each other.

A decade later, when I come home from work, she’ll be there to greet me. As a veterinary(兽医) nurse now, I specialize in cat behaviour and health. But I learned all my techniques and patience from Linni. She gave me a career.
