The shelter gave me these after I agreed to volunteer.
[Taking care of the Master's prized hunting dogs had been one of his tasks as a little boy. Apparently the older servants thought it would do good for his mental well being (which it did), so they managed to convince the Master in allowing Billy near his hounds. (Though, the Master had given him a firm warning to not let anything happen to his dogs, or else he'd get a beating.)
He may not have as much experience with cats, but he does kneel down to leave the treats on the ground before taking a few steps back. Maybe she'd be less nervous if he stood further away.]
