I was always busy with work and travel. I didn’t think I would have energy to care for a pet. But everything changed when I met Kitty.
我过去总是忙于工作和出差，我觉得自己根本没精力养宠物。但当我遇到小猫咪咪后，一切都变了。
Kitty was a homeless cat that I found on the street one rainy night. She was wet, hungry and frightened, and she looked at me as if she was begging for help. So I decided to take her to my home.
咪咪是我在一个雨夜的街上捡到的一只流浪猫。它浑身湿透，又饿又怕，看着我的样子仿佛在祈求帮助。于是我决定把它带回我的家。
At first, Kitty was shy and nervous. She hid under the sofa and only came out when I offered her food and water. She didn’t like to be touched or held, and she would scratch me if I tried to pet her. I wondered if she would ever trust me or love me.
一开始，咪咪既胆小又紧张。它躲在沙发底下，只有在我给它喂食喂水的时候才会出来。它不喜欢被人触碰或抱在怀里，我要是想抚摸它，它还会挠我。我很担心，它会不会永远都不信任我、不爱我。
But as time went by, Kitty started to warm up to me. She began to follow me around the house, and sit next to me on the sofa or the bed. She would play happily with the toys I bought her and would wait for me at the door when I came home from work.
但随着时间推移，咪咪开始慢慢对我亲近起来。它开始跟着我在屋子里转，还会在沙发上或床上挨着我坐下。它会开开心心地玩我给它买的玩具，我下班回家的时候，它还会在门口等我。
Kitty changed my life for the better. She made me feel more relaxed. She taught me how to be more patient and caring.
咪咪让我的生活变得更美好。它让我变得更放松，还教会了我如何变得更有耐心、更懂得关心他人。
