-a wounded warrior with a badly scarred body.
I started putting out food for him each day, but he wouldn’t come near me if other people were
. Winter came, and he still wouldn’ t
us. Then, one day, a car hit him so we took him to the vets.
After a week, we were eager to bring him home to
our family. But when we went to take the cat home, the vet told us we should put him to
immediately because the cat was so fierce and mean that he would
become tame, let alone a pet.
But I have always had
in love’s power to
even the wildest beasts. I told the vet, "I want to take him home.” We

That dear cat became the
of our household. Although Paws finally died of cancer, his legacy (馈赠)-my
and firm belief in the power of love lives on.
