Every strong individual has experienced the baptism of fragility, and Phoebe is no exception. Phoebe has only one eye, which is not caused by natural defects but by acquired twists and turns.

Phoebe is a stray cat, but fortunately, she lives with her brothers and mothers. She was cared for and cared for by her mother when she was young, but the good times did not last long. The stray cat itself was displaced, and it lost its mother in the process.

The stray cat without mother's protection can be imagined. The situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Not only can food and clothing be guaranteed, but its physical condition is also seriously poor. When the rescuers brought Phoebe back, its eyes were already seriously infected and could only be removed surgically.

Not too bad, Phoebe is very healthy elsewhere and optimistic, not affected by previous misfortunes. Phoebe, who slowly recovered from health, stopped in the rescue, and was optimistic and kind-hearted, and often helped take care of other kittens.

This kitten hiding behind the pile of firewood was brought back not long ago. It had just experienced a fright, and seemed very afraid of everything around it and did not want to get close to anyone.

As the little tabby cat was hit by a car driving next to it, and was sent here by a kind-hearted person. After healing, the kitten's body has recovered, but it always hides behind the pile of firewood, trying to hide itself.

The condition of the little tabby cat is somewhat similar to the post-traumatic stress disorder mentioned above. The wandering and the sudden collision of the car made it seriously lack the sense of security for the young. It refuses people to approach and communicate, just to hide.

Its mental injury needs to be rescued, but obviously the rescuers have no choice but to do anything. At this time, Phoebe appeared. It was about to see what the little tabby cat was doing and why it hid.

At the beginning, Phoebe kept walking back and forth in front of the kitten, constantly examining the kitten, as if she wanted to play with it. Under Phoebe's constant induction, the shy kitten finally mustered up the courage to come out to find this friend as if he was taking the risk.

Under Phoebe's efforts, the kitten began to trust Phoebe and slowly walked out of its self-protection shell. It still did not like to contact people, but learned to trust.

The little tabby is very dependent on Phoebe. If Phoebe is not around, it will be very scared. It only likes to play with Phoebe, always following it, and is unfamiliar with everyone else.

However, under Phoebe's leadership, it began to observe how Phoebe interacts with humans, it was learning how to get along with others, it was slowly recovering from health.

Now, both kittens have grown up, and tabby cats can get along with humans normally, but the two cats have a very good relationship, and neither of them can leave each other. The staff at the rescue station began to help them contact families who were willing to adopt the pair, and they will definitely get better and better in the future.
