They offer companionship (友谊) when the kids are playing, exploring (探索) the outdoors, or quietly reading a book.
It is clear to see the relationship between the young boys and their cat friends through the heart-warming images (形象). They are going to continue with the heart-warming project and she will take pictures to record the relationship.

Jaden is a six-year-old boy. He experienced the unlucky things of life twice. First, he lost his dad when he was four and then his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep last month. Jaden's heart was broken. His parents' death hit him a lot.
But things always go towards a good side. A few weeks later, Jaden told his aunt that he was tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. He'd like to see more smiles around him. He hoped that the number of the smiles could reach 100.
Then he asked his aunt to buy him some little toys and take him to the center of the city. "I'm trying to make people smile," said Jaden. At first, he was not sure if the people passing by would like to receive his toys. In fact, he was always successful and got close to his dream step by step, because no one could refuse such a little boy's giving and expecting.
"I'm keeping a count of 100 smiles," said Jaden. When asked if he could make, he answered, "I think I can."

"You must prove (证明) you're the best," the manager said.
"OK, I will." John said.
"Good." The manager took several boxes of sweets out of his desk. "Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job." said the manager.
"That's easy," John said. He took the boxes of sweets and left the office.
Every day and all day he went from shop to shop, trying to sell the sweets. But he couldn't sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager.

It's difficult when you have no good friends around-maybe because you have moved to different schools or a different class or you're sick at home. You may feel lonely without friends. You want to have new friends. But how to make them? How do you start? How do you get along with people? Here are some ways to help you to do these.
1.Greet people and hope that they have a goal day-whatever time of day it is. It doesn't hurt any people. It also makes people think you're friendly.
2.Take something to eat in your pocket. Ask if people would like to have some, and at the same time hand it to them.
3.Simple actions, like helping people carry something or opening a door show your kindness.
4.Perhaps smiling is the easier way to introduce yourself. There's a great reason why it takes fewer muscles to smile than to cry. Nature just wishes us to smile more.
