When Hendrix was a child, he once came across a stray cat at his school. The kitten seemed to have just been born and had no mother by its side. It lay weakly in the grass, meowing softly.

Hendrix merely glanced at it, but he didn't have much sympathy. So, he quickly continued walking. What he didn't expect was for the kitten to follow him. Though his pace wasn't slow, and the kitten could barely stand, it still stumbled along after him.

When Hendrix was about to reach the school gates, he finally stopped. Then, he went to a nearby snack shop and bought a sausage to give it to the kitten.

The kitten ate happily.

From that day on, every time Hendrix finished school, he would see it. It would approach him on its own, rub against his palm, and then obediently wait to be fed.

One day, Hendrix began carrying snacks in his school bag. On the weekend, he even made a special trip to the supermarket to buy a bag of cat food.
