3 October 05 Long Queue of Visitors

Sylvia has become a wonderful addition to my house, although she is not ready to meet some new feline friends. She makes no noise at night, and all she longs for is affection and love. Every now and then she would make a little squeak if she couldn’t see my face while I was hustling around in the room. She was also responding to both her Chinese name and English name, which is proof that she is a smart kitten!

In the evening a dozen cat lovers and volunteers came to my flat to visit Sylvia, who has now become more or less a celebrity in the community. The long queue outside the bathroom did not freak her out. Instead, she welcomed everyone’s gentle touches and kind wishes like a graceful movie star.

A number of people have already indicated their wishes to adopt Sylvia, but I understand that she is still a long way away from full recovery. Right now the focus of my work in on taking good care of her and giving her all the love that she deserves. With her natural optimism, I am confident that the trauma that she had to go through will not prevent her from enjoying a wonderful and happy life in the future.


05年10月3日 到訪者大排長龍

雖然小花仍然未能離開籠子去認識我家中其他的貓朋友，但她已成為我們可愛的新成員。小花不會在夜裡嘈吵，她所渴望擁有的就只是關懷和疼愛。每當我在房中忙著，她看不見我時，她便會輕輕地叫一聲。她更懂得回應自己的中、英文名字，證明她是隻聰明得很的小貓呢!

晚上，有十多位愛貓人士和義工到我家探望小花。現在，她可算成為了「城中名貓」! 在浴室外排隊等候的人龍並沒有嚇怕小花。相反地，小花十分樂意接受每位探訪者的撫摸和祝福，猶如一位風度有禮的電影明星。

很多人已經表明願意收養小花，但我知道她距離完全康復的日子還是很遠。現在我首要做的，便是給予她妥善的照顧和她應得的關懷愛護。小花天生樂天的性格使我深信，過去她受過的種種傷害，一定不會影響她將來的幸福生活!
