I bought a cat and the cat is really timid,  he’s shivering all the time and I don’t know how to help him to become strong. He’s healthy but he’s shivering because he’s afraid of me. I never have a cat before this is the first time to take care of a cat. I’m afraid that I’ll hurt him, but now in China is summer and a little hot. My friend was a previous owner, he’s leaving Shanghai so he gave me his cat. He can’t take the cat with him, so he gave it to me and the cat can’t born baby. He’s very smart and when I touch him he doesn’t move and he enjoys it.
