Regardless of how pitiful Jinjila, who is a short-legged cat, will be under the dual education of a long-legged black and white pastoral cat, Lin Lan has already planned to move all the pots of cat grass raised on the balcony of the house to the balcony of the new house.
Not only that, she also placed an order to buy a lot of cat grass seeds, and plans to cultivate a few more pots.
There are now two long-haired cats at home. They are the king of hair loss among kittens. Lin Lan must consider this aspect.
Both long-haired cats and short-haired cats have hair loss, and the spring and autumn of each year are their molting seasons.
How often do cats shed hair? There is a joke on the Internet called "twice a year, once for half a year". Although it is an exaggeration, it is also a reminder to those who want to raise cats. They really want to be a shit shovel officer This is absolutely inescapable.
How does the cat feel during the large-scale molting? Lin Lan has really experienced it once after turning Snowflake into a big cat.
Clothes, sofas, beds, curtains, etc. in the house, as long as it is easy to stick to the hair, there are cat hair everywhere. Lin Lan is still deeply impressed by the image of her favorite black woolen coat that was covered with white fur, as if she had just picked it up from the trash can.
At that time, my mother was also very angry and roared because of the cat's hair. The whole family carefully accompanied them to do hair removal activities - it was obvious that the hair was lost by the cat, but the anger was all directed at them, wronged.
Then Lin Lan began to pay attention to the fact that cats shed hair—it’s not good if she doesn’t want to. When she goes out, her clothes are full of hair, and she can’t take it out. In addition, her mother’s roar has a psychological fear effect, she has to think about it. Do your best to solve how to reduce cat hair loss
Nutritionally balanced cat meals and regular brushing of cat hair are both very good hair-prevention measures. If conditions permit, you can also get a vacuum cleaner and turn on a low power to make a full-body SPA for the cat, and the effect is very good.
Moreover, because of the clean nature of cats, cats will often lick themselves off the shed cat hair, but because of this, snowflakes will always spit hair balls during the molting period.
At this time, cat grass comes in handy. Snowflake spent four years safely relying on the cat grass that has been growing on the balcony, and the family raised it with great peace of mind.
However, the situation is different now. There are currently eleven cats in the family.
Luckily, it was already early winter when Lin Lan started picking up cats on a large scale, barely avoiding the cat's moulting season. If it happened to be autumn... The scene was too beautiful to imagine.
Xicheng, which had only rained yesterday, did not have the sun today, and the morning of the next day was also gloomy. Lin Lan carried the flower pots with cat grass and moved them one by one to the new house.
"Meow!" (Lan Lan, what is this!)
A curious little black cat immediately came to ask, they had not seen this thing before.
"Meow..." (This is a kind of grass, which can relieve stomach pain and spit out the hair it eats.)
The black cat mother came over at this time and answered the children's questions.
"Your mother is right." Lin Lan stroked the small head of one of them, "This is a grass that is good for cats. Humans call them oat seedlings or cat grass. Because cats eat it, it can help digest food. , to avoid gastrointestinal indigestion, and you can also supplement with vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the cat's body... Well, don't look at me so dumbly, anyway, you only need to know that it's a good thing. Listen to your mother, if you have an upset stomach, come here Take two bites."
Sure enough, some human terms are still too difficult for cats. Lin Lan reflects on herself and must make the language more childish next time.
The little black cats immediately began to play with cat grass, apparently treating them as new toys that can be eaten and played with.
Lin Lan didn't care, anyway, if it went too far, the cat mother Momo would watch. If she really ate all the cat grass that could be used as a medicinal herb resource, the mother cat would definitely not allow it.
Now she has other things to do.
Lin Lan's new house was empty except for a sunny bedroom for the cat's sleep and activities. The living room where they are so happy only has cat toys scattered all over the place, which looks very empty and is also very suitable for running around.
Leaving the balcony, she pushed the door to another locked room and took out a large cardboard box.
Some kittens got excited again when they saw the cardboard box, and ran over again, wanting to jump inside.
"This is for putting things, not a box for you to play with." Lin Lan said as she reluctantly picked up the kitten that jumped in... and then took it out again... and then out again... She gave up, "Okay. Now, let's drill, just don't break it."
Taking out all the things in the big cardboard box, Lin Lan let the cats who like to drill the box jump around in it, put on a bristle glove for pet bristles on her hand, and faced the balcony. A long-haired cat who was sniffing and biting at the cat grass shouted.
"Baiyin, come over to brush!"
In an instant, the Jinjira rushed over like a short-legged cannonball.
The color of the Jinjira cat's fur is mostly white and yellow, and pet stores usually call it gold and white silver, so Lin Lan named the cat Baiyin, which is simple and easy to remember.
At this time, the cat that was beaten only yesterday regained his spirits after eating and drinking enough. Hearing that the shit shoveler wanted to provide him with grooming services, he jumped very fast.
"Meow!" (Grooming!)
Lin Lan just dragged the cushions out of the box and sat down. The white Persian cat in front of her was already lying down on all fours obediently waiting for the service, her big fluffy tail fluttering happily.
Long-haired kittens, it is best to comb once a day, on the one hand to reduce the frequency of their hair loss everywhere, on the other hand, it can also keep their appearance beautiful. Humans love long, smooth, straight hair, and so do cats.
Lin Lan's right hand, wearing a bristle glove, gently stroked the cat's head all the way down, combing the cat's tail without even letting it go. The soft silicone-made combs slid gently between its fur, and the Persian cat felt so comfortable that it could be hit directly. It snorted, and it had no idea of resistance at all, so Lin Lan turned it over and continued to brush its belly up, and rubbed its belly again.
"snoring..." (so comfortable, so comfortable...)
Lin Lan couldn't help laughing when she heard Jinjira's comfortable snoring, but she was actually enjoying herself. Like a bather, he rubbed the cat's entire body. Lin Lan's brush gloves also had a thick layer of cat hair. Lin Lan reached out and pinched the edge of the coat. A glove-shaped hair The cake was completely torn off.
"Look, I comb you every day, and the hair sheds every day." Lin Lan dragged a plastic square storage box and opened the lid of the closed box. There were white, gray, and a small amount of black and gold-red cat hair balls or cakes—these were all the cat hair Lin Lan had collected while grooming kittens, "Tsk tsk, look at you, how long has it been? so much."
When snowflakes are shedding, Lin Lan has the habit of collecting cat hair for it. After gathering a bunch, she will find someone to process it into wool, and then weave it into various small things. Now raising so many cats in one go, cat hair can't be thrown away, and I can make a big blanket in the future.
Lin Shuancheng Habit Lan said that she would not let go of any of the fruits of her hard work.
"Meow meow!" Being rubbed all over the body... No, Jinjira, who had finished brushing, said that it wasn't enough. After getting up, she still called to her, standing upright with a pair of short claws and wanting to tug at her arm, "Meow —"
I can understand it without translation, and I want to be slapped again.
"No hurry, sit down, it's not over." After brushing the hair with gloves, Lin Lan picked up a pet-specific hairbrush and began to make the final lady's shape for Bai Yin. It was rough repair before, but now it is refine.
A few minutes later, an elegant and beautiful white and silver Jinjira appeared in front of Lin Lan.
"Yes, yes, it's a cute and charming big beautiful cat. You will definitely not worry about not having small dried fish to eat in the future." Lin Lan is very satisfied with Baiyin's appearance at this time, and when the teahouse opens, she will put it on the cat in the window. A few poses will surely attract a lot of cat-sucking lovers.
This means that someone is not at work now, and has a lot of time to serve the cat, so he has so much free time to style the cat.
"Meow... Meow!" (Minion you... No, Lan Lan, you are so kind!)
Jinjira, who forgot the pain as soon as she was happy, changed her name flatteringly after she noticed the murderous aura emanating from the mother black cat not far away, and her tone was very flattering.
This cowardly cat-like appearance after being successfully educated almost made Lin Lan laugh out loud. After letting the cowardly cat go, Jinjila slipped away very quickly, for fear of being caught up and beaten by the black cat, Lin Lan Yue Look at the more Coke.
Turning her head, she stretched out her hand to fish, hugged the only adult black cat on her lap, patted its head and sighed with emotion: "Momo is really amazing, and she will take the initiative to protect me, thank you."
The black cat sat on her lap and looked up at her. The green vertical pupils were equally gentle, and responded softly with a cat meow: "Meow... meow." (Lan Lan, I will always protect you. You give As long as we live and have enough food, my children and I will always watch over you.)
Suddenly receiving such a straightforward expression from the little animal, Lin Lan was stunned for a moment. When she recovered, she quickly blinked, but the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily. Lin Lan lowered her head and approached the black cat, placing her forehead on its head: "Thank you, I will also protect you all my life."
Whether it is Snowflake or Momo, they are the angels in her life.
The intimacy between the human and the cat's foreheads did not last long, and was interrupted by a group of kittens.
"Meow meow meow!" (I want my mom too!)
"Meow!" (I want Lan Lan too!)
The shrill voices of the milk cat came one after another, the little black dumpling and the puppet dumpling jumped or climbed on Lin Lan's legs unwilling to be outdone, each of them also wanted to rub the forehead of a shit shovel officer, and then they were slapped by the black cat's mother. Relentlessly, all the meat pads were shot down.
"Meow! Ha!" (All go down, not allowed to come up!)
The black cat who made a threatening sound was very imposing, and at most, the half-big black cat of six months and the little puppet of three months were scared away in an instant. Lin Lan's face was tense and she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that she would laugh.
Sure enough, no matter what kind of cat it is, it is more or less possessive of its own shit shoveling, and being a mother is no exception.
It wasn't until the mother black cat finished her arrogance and left the shit shovel, that the surrounding cats dared to slowly lean over again.
The Russian blue cat and the Siamese cat, who had never come together before, approached cautiously. Last night, these two pet cats had seen the fighting power of black cats. In the cat world, the strength of female cats is respected. These male cats are not female cats at all. His opponent, let alone a neutered male cat, would not dare to make trouble under the lewd power of the black cat Momo.
If you put food in a cat food bowl, they and the chinchilla will definitely be last in line for leftovers.
"What's the matter, gray gray and gold carbon, what's wrong with it?" Lin Lan called out the new names of the blue cat and Siamese—well, it was still a simple and rough name based on their physical characteristics. The kittens that come over will probably not be able to escape this naming convention.
"Meow..." These two cats sold their pity to the shit shoveling officer, which meant that he hoped that the black cat boss would never beat them up even if he was fine.
"Is it that serious? Don't worry, Momo is not the kind of cat who likes to hit cats casually."
Lin Lan smiled wryly and reached out to touch the heads of the two cats. While speaking to comfort them, she suddenly had the most intuitive concept of the status of the cats in the house.
These cute and expensive pet cats actually all live at the bottom, and the pastoral black cats that are worthless in the eyes of humans are actually the ones standing at the top of the pyramid.
The days passed slowly in the process of cuddling cats and training kittens every day. The day after the lease of the clothing store expired, Lin Lan called Cheng Fengyang and asked him to come and see the store. Although the milk tea shop next door will expire in ten days, the layout of these two adjacent shops is the same, and you can see what the milk tea shop looks like when you look at the clothing store.
Cheng Fengyang came as promised, not only looked at the empty shop structure of the clothing store, but also turned to the back of the small building and carefully observed it.
Lin Lan saw that he was also carrying a tool bag. After opening it, there were all kinds of obscure measuring tools in it, so she didn't dare to express her opinion casually, so she obediently led him around the shop and the small building all the way.
"There used to be a narrow courtyard surrounded by walls at the back of this building." Cheng Fengyang was a little surprised after reading the circle.
"Yeah, but you've seen it too, it's useless if it's too narrow, it's all used to put clutter." If it wasn't for the designer's request, Lin Lan wouldn't even remember going to the back. The narrow path where the two walked side by side was said to be a reserved space for grandpa who originally wanted to build a circle of flower beds around him when he started the building.
After so many years, they didn't know how many things were stuffed and couldn't get in completely, so that they had to walk around behind the wall again.
But Cheng Fengyang's eyes lit up, and he asked her directly, "Have you ever thought about using this small backyard? The top of the yard is covered with glass, and the front and rear of the store are covered with glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows. A glasshouse for kittens?"
Lin Lan couldn't help imagining along with his words, a bright shop full of light, her own small backyard and kittens who were having fun in it, she could even plant a large piece of cat grass directly in it... !
This time, Lin Lan's eyes also brightened. She couldn't help clapping her hands together, and said with joy, "This idea is great! I like it!"
Cheng Fengyang was even happier: "Then let's talk about the decoration requirements in the house. Do you have any specific requirements?"
"Yes! There are a lot of them!" Lin Lan took out a folded A4 piece of paper from her coat pocket, "All the requirements I thought of before are written on it, you can take a look first, and let me know if there is anything wrong. I."
The young man took the paper handed over by the girl and unfolded it directly. The neat and neat handwriting on it came into view, but it was still handwritten. He couldn't help shouting, "Your handwriting is so beautiful!"
"It's normal. Before graduating from junior high school, I insisted on practicing pen copybooks." Suddenly being praised for being good at writing, Lin Lan blushed a little, but she was in a better mood, "Cheng Fengyang, don't stand here, it's cold outside, I Please drink milk tea, we will discuss in detail after sitting in the store."
Cheng Fengyang, who originally wanted to see the milk tea shop, agreed immediately, and followed Lin Lan into the shop.
So, the manager Xiao Zhang watched Lin Lan make milk tea by himself and give the freshly baked egg tart to the young man at the table. He stood there with a complicated expression. You are taking it and giving it away. You don't even think of yourself as an outsider.
