When Cao Yuze brought people to the teahouse, Lin Lan was sitting next to the cat running wheel in the corner, watching Momo and Gentleman running the wheel, while combing Huihui and Toffee, and checking the nails on their paws and the hair on the meat pads. Whether to prune.
"It's okay, it's not too long, you don't need to make beautiful claws."
Just after confirming that this work can be done at the back, Wang Jiayi's surprise greeting sounded from the water bar.
"Brother Yuze, you came to see me?... Huh? Are you... Yi Hang? Why are you here?"
The eldest lady seemed to have another acquaintance here. Lin Lan couldn't help but look back and saw Cao Yuze and a high school-aged boy standing in front of the water bar and talking to Wang Jiayi. After a while, the eldest lady waved to her. , with an excited expression.
"Lanlan, you have a business to come!"
And then... the so-called business is this fierce Bengal cat.
This cat has a brownish-yellow background, and its fur is covered with black seal-colored dotted markings. The background color of the chest and abdomen is beige that is close to white. The pupil color is the common golden color. Staring roundly at everyone outside the cage, he let out a low growl vigilantly and threateningly.
"Ha!" (If you get closer, you will be scratched to death!)
When Lin Lan heard the cat's warning, she immediately gave up her intention to observe closely.
"Classmate Yi, has it always been like this?" Looking back at the boy, Lin Lan asked Yi Hang, the owner of the leopard cat.
"Almost." The teenager was troubled and puzzled for a year, "It's called Gray, and I found it in the yard of my house a year ago. At that time, it looked like seven or eight months at most. I adopted it. But after raising it for so long, why is it still not a relative? I checked the Internet, and the Bengal leopard cat should be a docile pet cat, different from those wild leopard cats, shouldn't it be so wild? "
"Huh? Didn't it come from the cat house?" Lin Lan was surprised, she never thought that such a beautiful leopard cat was actually picked up.
"Last year, in order to prepare me for the college entrance examination, my family rented a house for me in a high-end community near the school, and the cat was picked up there." The boy from Yihang briefly explained the origin of the cat. The pressure of studying is high, and when I thought of what Brother Yuze said that he used cats to reduce stress, I was moved, but I didn’t expect that after feeding it for a year, it would not be allowed to be hugged, and it would be scratched when I reached out and touched it.”
Suddenly being named, Cao Yuze coughed dryly, but he didn't seem to expect that the other party would keep a cat because he was the reference person.
It's a pity that Yihang, a college student, did not successfully rely on cats to decompress like Cao Yuze did. On the contrary, he added a lot of troubles.
"June of this year is the day of my college entrance examination. Everyone at home told me to throw away the cat and concentrate on preparing for the test, but I still couldn't bear it. Then Brother Yuze introduced you, Manager Lin, and said that you are very tame. Cat, there might be a solution to this problem."
After listening to his words, Lin Lan lowered her head and pondered: "That is to say, except for not being held or touched, is it still used for cat litter and other food?"
"Yes." Yi Hang nodded, "It can eat and use cat litter, otherwise it can't be raised for a year, just don't let people touch it and give it a bath or something."
Lin Lan frowned when she heard the words, she turned to look at the cat in the cage again, and tentatively stretched out her hand, still before it got close to the cage, the leopard cat slaughtered it with another paw, and the walls of the cage were shaking slightly.
"Ha!" (Human, scratch you!)
Fiercely, Wang Jiayi, who was watching the excitement behind the water bar, took two steps back in fear and patted her chest: "Yi Xiaohang, it's so fierce."
At this time, Lin Lan was sure of one thing: "Student Yi, it had an owner before you picked it up, but its former owner didn't treat it kindly. It should be said that it was abused by the former owner, at least I have been beaten several times, so I have a strong fear and resistance to human hands."
When the boy heard this, his face changed slightly.
Cao Yuze, who saw him next to him, couldn't help frowning: "Yi Hang, you haven't hit a cat, have you?"
The young man hesitated for a moment, and this attitude made Wang Jiayi behind the water bar unhappy: "Isn't it, Yi Xiaohang? You have already decided to keep it, how can you beat it, how painful is the kitten?"
"I didn't mean it either!" Yi Hang said aggrieved, "I just wanted to touch it, but that time it grabbed a long hole in my arm. It was so painful and angry that I couldn't hold back." As if to prove his grievances, the teenager pulled up his sleeves, revealing two palms and forearms full of cat scratch scars.
The criss-crossing scars, old and new, were stacked on top of each other, and Lin Lan couldn't help but lose her voice, not to mention Wang Jiayi at the back.
"What are you doing to provoke such a fierce cat?" The eldest lady softened her voice, "No matter how much you like it, you can't get along with it."
"But you can't just throw it away, Sister Jiayi." Yi Hang said helplessly, "Although Gray is fierce towards people, I still like it. It's even more impossible to throw it outside, it loves to catch people and bite people so much. It will definitely anger other humans, and it is hard to say if it will survive. The family said that the cat should be sent away, who knows where it will be sent, it is so fierce, maybe it will be euthanized to save trouble, and I don't want to. In this way, we can only find someone to see if we can break it back.”
"It's useless to beat and scold a creature like a cat." Lin Lan said at this time, she looked at the leopard cat in the cage with its teeth and claws alert to people, her face was helpless, "The result of excessive discipline is that it thinks you are hurting it. , consumes its trust and dependence on you, and then hates and hates you. As it is now, it not only hates you, but even strangers like us are not welcome, and obviously people other than you have beaten it. "
"Uh... It's my aunt who was invited to take care of me." Yi Hang replied awkwardly.
Now that things are clear, the situation is still very embarrassing. This cat was afraid of being beaten by humans, so it refused the human hand. It no longer believed that the other party just wanted to hug and touch it, only thinking that it was to beat it again.
The scene suddenly fell into a bewildered silence.
Lin Lan stroked her chin and stared at the cat in the cage, her brows furrowed tightly: "It's a bit difficult..."
Yi Hang was disappointed. He originally thought that the cat taming master introduced by Brother Yuze would have a solution, but as expected...
"Well, you put the cat with me first, and I'll try to see if I can break it back so that it is no longer afraid of people." Lin Lan looked back at the boy, "Classmate Yi, you are going to take the college entrance examination this year, it is not appropriate If there is more pressure, the kitten will be deposited with me until you take the college entrance examination. Then, if Gray can accept you, we will discuss the issue of fees. ?"
Yi Hang shook his head: "Having Brother Yuze and Sister Jiayi here is the best guarantee. I believe Manager Lin is willing to leave Gray to you to take care of." He looked back at the cat in the cage with a wry smile. "Actually, to be honest, I'm a little relieved to be able to keep the cat, my parents will finally stop talking to me about this, and I still have a hope in my heart, when I finish the exam in a few months. Try again, and Gray will be willing to be relatives."
Wang Jiayan immediately raised her head high when she heard this: "Don't worry, Lan Lan is very good at taming cats, and I will help take care of it. Your Gray must be fine." The first time someone thought she could be a guarantee, the eldest lady was full of pride.
"That's what we'll do." Cao Yuze also decided, "Yi Hang will have to take tutoring lessons from tutors, so let's go first. Manager Lin, this leopard cat will be yours. If there is good news, you will be rewarded. It’s definitely good to say.”
At this moment, Wang Jiayi quietly leaned behind Lin Lan and bit her ears: "Yi Hang's family owns a jewelry company and usually has a lot of pocket money, kill him!"
Look at this girl, it's been less than a month since she moved in, and she knows even the slang words of slaughtering people.
Before leaving, Classmate Yi wanted to say goodbye to the leopard cat: "Grey, I'm leaving, you have to be good here..." Before he finished speaking, he received a sigh from the cat, "Okay, I'm going back, you can do whatever you want. "
The young man pushed open the door and left, and Cao Yuze said hello and immediately followed.
Several people in the teahouse stared at the back of the boy leaving, with different expressions on their faces.
Song Xinmin looked at the person and then at the cat, and sighed a little: "Actually, it's not just the leopard cat that has lost trust in people, this college student is also disappointed enough with Gray."
Thinking of the wounds on the boy's arms, he knew how much he wanted to accept this cat, and approached him again and again without belief, but the timing and method were wrong.
"Don't say that." Wang Jiayi was depressed, "I feel that even if Lan Lan has tamed the cat, Yi Xiaohang doesn't want to have Gray anymore."
Actually almost. Lin Lan replied in her heart, she didn't say it directly. The words and expressions of the high school student just now revealed this intention. He has not lost the cat until now, not because he is reluctant, but because he is afraid that it will die because of it.
A cat that hurts people is destined not to be accepted by society. If it is not corrected, it is conceivable to wait for its fate.
The teenager couldn't bear it, so he sought her help through Cao Yuze.
He just wanted to give the cat a chance to live.
"Give me the cat." Lin Lan picked up the cat cage and walked to the foster cubicle at the back, "I'll ask you two at the teahouse, and I'll settle the cat."
The two suddenly worried: "It doesn't matter if you are alone? What if you get caught by a cat?"
"It's alright." Lin Lan waved her hand, "I'll ask Momo to help if there is a problem."
Watching the other two people who saw the Black Cat Corps rush to catch up with the manager: "..."
Does this mean they are less useful than cats now
Except for the last time Niu Niu stayed there, there was not a single cat in the fostering compartment. The cages inside were all empty. Lin Lan walked in with the cage and six black cats also got in. The house, and then the door was closed again.
Lin Lan was the only one in the entire compartment, so she put down the cage and looked at the cat inside without any scruples.
"Ha!" (Come if you want to fight!)
For cats, staring at each other is a signal that they want to fight. The leopard cat, which was already repelling humans, immediately blew up and threatened her under Lin Lan's gaze.
"I don't want to fight with you." Lin Lan said to the cat in the cage, "Can you understand me, kitten? If I fight with you, you will scratch me, and I don't want to get hurt, so I won't Fighting with you. Do you understand, Gray?"
Perhaps he understood, or perhaps he was shocked that he could understand what the human being said before him, and the leopard cat, who had been gasping at people, became quiet.
"Can we communicate peacefully now?" Lin Lan took out a cat strip from his pocket and tore it open. "Or else we'll chat while eating? You must be very hungry now, right?"
This cat has always been vigilant and fearful, and it consumes a lot of mental and physical energy. The delicious cat strip makes the leopard cat lick its mouth involuntarily.
"Ouch—" The leopard cat lowered its throat and called out, although the tone was still vigilant, it was much calmer than at the beginning. (What are you trying to say? I won't give in to you.)
Momo, who had been sitting quietly behind Lin Lan, wanted to rush over, but was held down by Lin Lan and hugged her into his arms to comfort him: "I didn't intend to make you surrender, after all, you hate humans now, don't you, how can you do it? What do you hate?"
While scratching Mo Mo Shunmao's chin, Lin Lan stared at the cat in the cage, Lin Lan freed up a hand to pass the extruded cat strip into the gap of the cage's fence: "This is the most popular kitten in my store. Welcome cat strips, come and try them too, Gray."
If it wasn't locked in a cage, the leopard cat would probably find a corner furthest away from people to dig in and hide, but unfortunately it can't escape now, and can only watch the cat strip sway from left to right in front of its eyes , and then slowly swayed from the right to the left.
The little leopard cat didn't even notice that its head was swaying back and forth with the cat strip. As Lin Lan's movements increased, it even swayed out of wavy lines.
"Meow!" (feed me!)
The leopard cat finally made a meow that was in line with human aesthetics. Lin Lan put the cat bar into the fence, and the leopard cat immediately leaned over and licked the snacks that were squeezed out of the torn mouth.
There wasn't much in the cat strip. Lin Lan quickly finished feeding a whole one, and the leopard cat's aggression was greatly reduced after the belly was satisfied with the food. At this moment, only one person and one cat can really talk about it. The status of a few sentences.
"How many months did you leave your mother when you were born?"
"Meow." (Four months.)
Well, it is certain that there are cats in regular cat houses or pet stores. Generally, the responsible cat dealers will let customers pick kittens at this time and bring them home. First, the kittens can be vaccinated after three months, and second, they are also to train cats. The best time to have a relationship with a person is whether the cat kisses the owner or not. After all, not everyone can communicate with the cat as easily as Lin Lan.
"Don't you like the guy who picked you up?"
As soon as this question came out, the leopard cat suddenly became excited: "Woo-ha!" (Disgusting! Especially annoying! She smells so bad, I don't want to be near her! Hate, hate, hate! Hate more than that male human!)
The sudden excitement startled Lin Lan, and she managed to calm the cat down. Lin Lan asked a few more questions, and she finally figured out what happened from the leopard cat's mouth.
The leopard cat Gray... Maybe its first owner didn't call it that, but let's use the name given by Yi classmate for now. It is a beautiful breed cat produced by a regular cat store. Because of its high quality, the first owner has Fancy bought it back.
But the perfume on the owner's body has ingredients that cats hate, so that the pet cat, who should be docile and well-behaved, is very resistant to getting close to her. The cat owner didn't know the reason, but only knew that he was full of love and was rejected and resisted by the cat.
This is incredible, the hornet's nest has been stabbed, the kitten has been beaten wildly, and there is no good life in that house.
After that, the leopard cat escaped from that home and met its second owner, Yi Hang, who lived nearby. The cat did not dare to go back, so he stole from Yi Hang's house to eat, and was adopted again after being a stray cat for a while.
Because the leopard cat did not get the kindness and care of human beings at the most critical period, it caused a shadow of childhood, and also made Yi Hang, who was very good to it, suffered a lot, and finally staged the same scene as the first owner, although Yi Hang only beat it. Once, but it also completely shattered its confidence in getting along with humans.
"awful."
Lin Lan didn't know whether to say that the previous two owners of the leopard cat were miserable, or this cat was miserable. Neither side did it on purpose, but it still led to such a situation step by step.
"Grey." She looked at the leopard cat in the cage, "I can now guarantee that you will never come into contact with other humans except me, but you also have to promise me one condition, as long as I don't hurt you, you can't scratch me and bite me."
The leopard cat, who does not trust humans, directly refused: "Meow." (Why should I listen to you?)
Lin Lan smiled slightly and raised Momo in his hand. The black cat's emerald green eyes were fixed on the leopard cat in the cage. Lin Lan held it up and made a threatening snort at the cage.
The fat and strong black cat mother has already completed the great cause of unifying the cat teahouse, not to mention the five children behind her who obey her, who are in the cat teahouse cat group, and Momo, who has long seen that the leopard cat is not pleasing to the eye, is getting it. After Lin Lan gave permission, he directly warned Gray.
This roar was full of momentum. The leopard cat, who was still fighting against Lin Lan, instantly tensed up and arched into a bridge shape in horror. The hair all over his body blew up and roared back at the black cat against the ears of the plane.
The difference in size and stamina between the two sides can be seen at a glance.
Lin Lan, holding the ink ink, smiled kindly at the leopard cat from the back: "It's okay not to listen to me. As long as I open the cage door in a while, you can defeat the boss here, and you can do whatever you want."
The author has something to say: Lin Lan: One Momo is enough to take care of you, not to mention six hits one now. (kind smile.jpg)
