For Iris Grace Halmshaw, the world was a lonely place. The autistic (自闭症的) five-year-old girl tried to speak, and she was often thrown into pain by the world around her. She filled her days with painting, and nothing could quite change this situation. Until, that was, a cat called Thula came along.The pair are now inseparable (形影不离的). Iris’ parents believe the gentle cat is helping their little girl communicate with others, as well as influencing her works of art. In the beginning, they thought it was just coincidence, but now they believe Iris is expressing her love for Thula through her painting. Mother said, “When Iris is painting, Thula is told by her to “sit down” if she jumps up onto the table. She stays there, watching Iris with great interest, sometimes wanting to play with the brushes, but mostly just patiently watching.”And the pai r’s bo nd (联系) doesn’t end there. Thula is at Iris’ side for every part of her life. The pair’s closeness is having an effect on Iris’ relationships with others, and her parents find it easier to encourage her to talk to others.

During weeks, the cat was helping to comfort the little girl in times of stress.Mother said, “It w as as if they were old friends from the day they met.
