9 . KK was around five years old when he showed up at the front gate of my house in 2012. And clearly he was used to a life outside. While mostly happy indoors, he did expect to be let out. He would go out and do his things, and then come back and hang out inside until his next need for an outside visit arose.

When Julien, my second cat, showed up in 2013, having two cats wanting in and out at different times was more difficult. After careful consideration, I finally decided to put in a cat door. It allowed KK and Julien to come and go as they wanted without waking me up at 5 am to go outside or at 5:10 am to come back inside. It also saved my door, which KK was always abusing（虐待） as his way of letting me know I was being too slow in opening the   door for him or not responsive（应答的） at all.

When my mother passed away in the spring of 2014, leaving her young cat without a forever home, I decided to take her. Once being an indoor/ outdoor cat, Sissy obviously didn't want to suddenly to be kept indoors. She also wanted to be able to get away from the other two cats, as she was used to being in a single cat home.

After KK, Julien and Sissy had all become used to their life of coming and going as they   pleased, it pretty much guaranteed（保证） that all future cats would have the same right. And now have seven cats that come and go as they please. Letting my cats go outdoors isn't due to my not caring or getting them out of my head. On the contrary, it is because I love them so much and want them to have the best life possible.

10 . Stuart Bee prayed that rescue would come before his ship slipped completely under water. The 62-year-old sailor had been washed out of his boat by a wave while he was sleeping at about midnight on Saturday, leaving him fighting for survival in the Atlantic, 86 miles off Florida.

Mr. Bee set out at 4 pm on Friday and was reported missing on Saturday by friends. On Sunday morning, 11 hours later, he was found by a container ship. “What day is it?” he asked Lacruiser Relativo, the container ship’s second officer who threw him a lifebuoy and helped him aboard.

“My ship suffered engine failure. There were long and sharp noises and I was asleep when the water gushed in the back and forced me up the front,” Mr. Bee told the US coast guard after his rescue. He said he swam in jeans and heavy work boots through the boat’s forward hatch (船口) and surfaced, with no life jacket or any flotation. Mr. Relativo said later, “He stuck to the only part of his boat that was not sunk. He told me that he thought maybe that it was to be his last night and that if it was, had he lived his life well enough? He said he realized he had a beautiful life, out there watching the moon on the open water. It was dark but he found an inner peace as he looked at the sky.”

Leisa Bee, his niece, said, “Another half hour and his boat would have completely sunk and no one would have found it or him. I keep looking at the pictures of his rescue and I can’t stop crying. My uncle lived on that boat, so his home is gone now and all his possessions, though he did manage to keep his wallet. When he called my family, he said, ‘Hey, you’ll never guess what happened to me!’ I had no clue of the thousands of people who’d been praying for me.”
