I adopted a baby cat who has white hair and I called him “bushi” when I lived in Shanghai two years ago. One day, my landlady called me anxiously and told that “bushi” ran out of the room when she opened the door. It’s a very uneasy news to me and I looked all over the housing estate after work. Finally, I found that he was crouching beside some wildcats with dirty hair, looked very perplexed and tired. I took him home immediately and put him on the bed. Gradually, he fell asleep and made some little sounds sometimes liked an aggrieved baby talked in the sleep.
