Finally, after several minutes, she saw the kitten crying miserably under an osmanthus tree.
The kitten had long snow-white fur and looked like it had been born only a few days ago, barely able to stand. It was likely accidentally separated from its mother cat and was here calling for help!
Le Tong cautiously walked over, squatted down, "Meow... meow…," fearing she might scare the kitten, gently mimicked the frequency of a cat's call.
The kitten timidly turned its head to look at her, its small body continuously trembling in the cold wind.
Human and cat stared at each other for a moment.
After Le Tong meowed softly over a dozen times, the kitten finally responded with a long "Meow..."
Le Tong slowly reached out her hand, trying to pet the kitten's head.
The kitten shrank back a little, staring at her, but didn't mean to walk away.
Le Tong's hand gently landed on the kitten's head. Seeing it didn't escape, she daringly swept her hand over its head one stroke at a time.
