Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 36: A woman in a cat, Sila the cat in the eyes of the minions

Views:

After Mr. Gu returned to his hometown, he would have people bring things over every now and then. Because the four members of the Jiao family didn’t go back to their hometown for the Chinese New Year this year, the old people on both sides were thinking about them. Once they found out that a fellow traveled to the provincial capital, they would have someone bring the New Year’s goods over there. I have already started preparing for the New Year. This year is also very early, and many people there often go to the provincial capital to sell things and supply some fixed customers, such as fruit and meat products, so at the end of December, every few days. One day someone called Dad Jiao to get something.

The aquaculture industry in my hometown is developed, and many people contract fish ponds, and there are all kinds of fish.

But that doesn't matter to Zheng Tan. Since Wei Ling moved to the company's side, around the school, Zheng Tan, who is farthest, went to Xiao Guo's place, and there was no other place to go.

During the day, he can't run around outside the campus, which is not as simple as inside. In the school, Zheng Tan can go to many places to take a walk and relax. Some college students who see Zheng Tan also tend to have good intentions towards cats. After all, students are relatively simple compared to those who have been struggling in society for many years. .

But after leaving the campus, many people looked at Zheng Tan as if they were looking at a dish. If he was still human, Zheng Tan would definitely not see anything, but from the perspective of a cat, Zheng Tan I can feel the meaning of those people looking at him.

Cats who often travel around the streets are always very sensitive to people's every move, and Zheng Tan's feeling only became stronger after slipping for a while.

Therefore, when Zheng Tan went for a walk outside the school, it was always at night, and there were not many people at night, so he would not always be surprised.

Most of the working-class people who have entered the society are in a hurry when they come home at night, and they don’t care too much when they see a cat, but at the end of the year, many people catch stray cats and wandering domestic cats, and then sell them to some restaurants. , and some will be shipped directly to other provinces in order to avoid trouble. That's what those cats should pay attention to the most.

Zheng Tan had never encountered a cat dealer, but he still encountered many obstacles.

As a cat, Zheng Tan said that the pressure is still very high. He underestimated the turf-grabbing mentality and tenacity of the male cats. The restless cats would fill up their feces and pee and piss off. Zheng Tan tried to walk some distance by himself, but finally came back disappointed. .

Although Zheng Tan couldn't beat those cats, and those cats couldn't be ignorant of current affairs, there were always two exceptions.

One night when Zheng Tan was walking to Xiao Guo’s pet center, he encountered a black cat just like him, but there were always some other cats around that black cat. Zheng Tan thought it was his little brother. To put it elegantly, it is called a direct line, and to put it more informally, it is called a follower.

But Zheng Tan never lost a fight every time, and what annoyed Zheng Tan was that this black cat didn't have a long memory. He beat him once, and the second time he jumped out aggressively. Zheng Tan felt that this kind of guy was just an idiot, a fool, looking for abuse.

Originally, Zheng Tan thought that this kind of battle was necessary as a cat and had to fight wherever he went, but one day, Zheng Tan discovered a special case.

Christmas is coming, and some international students in the school are busy with it. Xiao Guo pondered a cat food advertisement about Christmas, and let Zheng Tan play Santa Claus and the golden retriever "lord" play the elk.

When Zheng Tan was taken to the studio by Xiao Guo, he saw the "Master" squatting next to him. He had a pair of plastic antlers stuck on his head. He was squatting there with his mouth open, gasping for breath. Some actions that are needed in this time, just rest for a while.

Zheng Tan and several cats in Xiaoguo's store have cooperated with this golden retriever, although there is no so-called tacit understanding, it is not a discord. The pets get along pretty well. All the cats in Xiaoguo store except "Prince" have been sterilized. Although "Prince" is also a male cat, but because he is used to indoor captivity, he is more aggressive than the ones Zheng Tan saw on the streets. There are far fewer cats, and there are so many cats in Xiao Guo's store. They are used to the presence of cats other than themselves, and rarely compete to occupy a certain area.

There have been many advertisements, and the staff here are all old acquaintances. They all know that as long as the other role-players in the advertisement are trained well, as for the black cat, it belongs to the "expert" who is "hired with high salary". No guidance required. Therefore, there was a situation where the "lord" was so tired and panting, and Zheng Tan squatted aside and took a nap.

After finally waiting for the "Master" to complete a series of actions, Xiao Guo woke up Zheng Tan and started shooting.

Putting on that stupid Christmas cat costume, Zheng Tan felt that his IQ was about to be lowered.

It's uncomfortable to wear, although it won't make you panic, but you always feel uncomfortable all over, that's okay, Xiao Guo also brought a big beard to Zheng Tan, and then put on the hat, how stupid it was.

It is estimated that people who see this advertisement will complain: Santa Claus is a black cat, black!

Forget it, bear with it for the sake of advertising. We are also dedicated to art. Zheng Tan found comfort in his heart.

Christmas Meow's mission is to drive the golden retriever sleigh and send "gifts" from the "Obviously So" Pet Center to those cats and pups, including cat food, dog food, pet clothes, pet dens, and more.

After the bump and bump shooting, Zheng Tan kicked off his clothes as soon as he walked out of the venue, threw off his beard, and squatted on the high cat climbing frame to wait for Xiao Guo to take him home when he was done.

The later work is Xiaoguo and Yanzi's business. Yanzi is now a resident customer of the pet center. Seeing that Yanzi's computer skills are good, Xiaoguo often asks Yanzi to help. Of course, busy is not for nothing, Yanzi is free to stay here. , free food and drink, and free cat feeding.

A group of staff over there was arranging the post-work, and Zheng Tan's side looked much deserted. He had slept before, but now he can't sleep, and looked around boredly.

In the end, Zheng Tan's eyes fell on the "Li Yuanba" mother and son.

"Li Yuanba" is still the same. A few cats in the store are always far away from him. When a few are curious, they will be forced to retreat by him. They don't need to raise their paws. Sigh quite admire the place.

And the cat with a "mole" on his mouth next to "Li Yuanba" is "Li Yuanba" and his son Peanut Candy, Xiao Guo and the others simply call it "Peanut".

The first time I saw the photo, Zheng Tan didn't look carefully, so I didn't notice the "mole" on Peanut Candy's mouth. The mouth of Peanut Candy is basically white, but the yellow stripe the size of a mung bean is particularly eye-catching in the surrounding white, and it looks very funny.

Zheng Tan thought that in a few months, the "mole" the size of a mung bean would become the size of a soybean. As for whether the "mole" would be the size of a quail egg when the peanut candy grows into adulthood, then I don't know, but Zheng Tan is looking forward to it.

Peanut Candy's fur is longer than other shorthair kittens, but it is different from those longhair cats. It is estimated that his father is a longhair cat or a string cat.

Another thing that Zheng Tan heard strange was the serious expression on the face of this peanut candy.

For Ah Huang, the word "serious" is just a face project, and the seriousness of Peanut Candy is really serious. It has deeply inherited the expression of "Li Yuanba", but now Peanut Candy is still young, with ignorance in his eyes, and he doesn't have it on his body. Damn that vibe.

After "Li Yuanba" squatted on the side for a while, he walked into the house with peanut candy in his mouth. There was a room that belonged to swallows, and there was an entrance and exit specially designed for cats under the door.

Zheng Tan could see that room here, so he watched "Li Yuanba" take the peanut candy into the room for a while, and then came out again, this time it was his own, and then it didn't go to the studio. Go, but go to the other side of the aisle.

Zheng Tan remembered that there was a back door there, but that door was only opened when moving goods or large props and instruments, and it was always closed.

Why is "Li Yuanba" going there

Anyway, being idle is idle, Zheng Tan jumped off the cat climbing frame out of curiosity and followed.

"Li Yuanba" looked back at Zheng Tan, who was not far away, but he didn't respond. He continued to walk there and came to the back door.

There was some cargo piled up at the back door, but it was far from the door. There was a small window near the corner, which was high and open, presumably for ventilation—a lot of the shipments had a strong smell.

The height of the small window is not within the jumping range of the cat in the store, so Xiao Guo is not afraid of the cat in the store running out of the small window.

"Li Yuanba" walked over there. When Zheng Tan was puzzled, it suddenly began to speed up. The direction of running was not the window, but the side wall next to it. One jumped over and quickly touched the side wall. After changing the angle, he slammed his hind legs and jumped towards the small window with the reaction force of the side wall. Accurate landing.

What the hell! This skill is really amazing!

Zheng Tan saw that his jaw was about to fall out from behind.

Sure enough, it was impossible to prevent. Xiao Guo would never have imagined that a cat would be able to walk out of the small window through this jumping method.

There were still some empty boxes piled up outside the door, just to form steps for "Li Yuanba" to jump down safely, and soon it disappeared from Zheng Tan's field of vision.

Zheng Tan squatted there and hesitated for a while, then tried to jump directly to the small window. His jumping power was slightly stronger than that of ordinary cats. After a few tries, Zheng Tan gave up, just a little bit.

So, Zheng Tan started to try the jumping method of "Li Yuanba". For the first time, he didn't control the angle and strength, and directly hit the wall. The good thing is that Zheng Tan was able to control his body at that moment and landed safely. Legs are numb.

The second time, it was a little better than the previous one. It didn't hit the wall, but just hit the open glass window and made a "bang" sound.

After moving his legs and feet, and after the pain in his legs disappeared, Zheng Tan began to try for the third time. This time, he finally slammed on the edge of the window.

What Zheng Tan could not have imagined was that not far away, "Li Yuanba" was squatting on an empty cardboard box and looking over here.

waiting for me

After seeing the black cat in the window, "Li Yuanba" turned around and jumped off the cardboard box and walked out.

Zheng Tan quickly followed.

Trapping a cat is more difficult than trapping a dog. Zheng Tan now has a deep understanding of it. "Li Yuanba" didn't know where he came from. He found a few gaps to get in, and he left the pet center after a few turns. be discovered by anyone.

The place Zheng Tan passed by was very unfamiliar at first, but gradually, the scenery became familiar. Zheng Tan himself came here when he was walking from the campus here, and he met here...

"Meow-"

Just as he was thinking about it, Zheng Tan heard the voice that annoyed him.

Paralyzed, it's that silly cat!

Looking up at the sound, Zheng Tan saw the black cat squatting on the low wall, and there were two little cat brothers around.

Different from the previous encounters, Zheng Tan felt that something was wrong with the silly cat today, and the two cats around did not come up to join in the fun. After observing, Zheng Tan found that the three cats were staring in the direction of "Li Yuanba" as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The "indomitable" cat met "Li Yuanba" and would only make a few "wuwu" sounds of displeasure, and then ran away. It would not be like when he met Zheng Tan, he knew he would be defeated and rushed to find him. abuse. Several other cats also scattered clean.

Not only these three, but as he walked deeper into the alley, Zheng Tan also saw several cats, two of which were quite large, and they smelled of "enclosure" around, but "Li Yuanba" was so oblivious. Squinting fearlessly across their territory, the cats only made a few "woohoos" when they saw it. "Li Yuanba" glanced sideways, and they ran away, as if a big dog was chasing them.

Zheng Tan was deeply moved by this situation.

It can be seen from this that Zheng Tan is still far from being a cat now. Power is one aspect, but so is aura.

And Li Yuanba, who can be regarded as a female man among cats, and a cat Sila in the eyes of the little minions, with a full-bodied appearance and a domineering side leaking momentum, can completely calm down this small alley where stray cats and domestic cats are mixed.

The cats' strong territorial awareness seemed to have disappeared at this time, and Zheng Tan could see the fear in the eyes of those cats when they saw "Li Yuanba".

Zheng Tan glanced at the tortoiseshell cat in front of him that kept its pace. It was an inadvertent imposing manner that was not pretentious and could not be imitated by anyone. Zheng Tan still remembers that when Xiao Guo first saw "Li Yuanba", he never got close to him other than opening the pet bag. Xiao Guo understands that pet cats are on the one hand, but on the other hand, there is also "Li Yuanba" himself. A kind of information that is transmitted silently in itself.

There is no shortage of cat language. Different tones, different lengths and shorts, and different ways of vocalization express different meanings. However, since leaving the pet center until now, Zheng Tan has never heard the tortoiseshell cat make a sound, and it is purely a silent aura and aura. For those who don't know it, they may not see this difference, but now Zheng Tan can clearly feel that the tortoiseshell cat in front is very different from other cats.

The appearance is determined innately, and the aura is polished by world events and time.

Zheng Tan didn't know what "Li Yuanba" had experienced, but for a seemingly ordinary cat to have such an aura and aura, his experience would definitely not be simple.

But at the same time, Zheng Tan couldn't help but think, what kind of cat can win this cat Sila? Who is the father of Peanut Candy? Really want to know the answer.
